walakum salam yeh brother im shia

Wslam Bro are you shia?

we dont pray to the turbah we pray on it because the prophet said to postrate on earth this reminds me of when christians say we pray to the kaba anyway in bukhari volume 1 hadith 429 it says the earth has been made a place of postration for me can you show me once when the prophet prayed on carpet it is just a piece of clay so we are postrating on earth we can even use a piece of paper for it came from a tree it has no position in shia islam other than its to be postration on earth its a condition of prayer but we dont pray to it nor is it a waseelh btw in surah 5:35 allah say to seek a waseelah but the turbah is not one, why do you ignore the verses that allow asking indirectly to god and quote verses that dont says only directly salam peace be unto you

Riyadh al Nadira, in Volume 3 page 108 now you shouldnt have a problem to this because bukhari ur most authentic hadith book testifies that umar is superior to the prophet aroudobillah Volume 8 hadith 108 says the the prophet told umar that when satan sees you walkink satan changes his direction, now in Volume 4 hadith number 504 satan was bothering the prophet in prayer, so hold on satan wont bother umar but he will muhammad?

so imam ali is nafs rasulalllah and muhammad is the best of creation, the prophet also said Ali is from me and I am from him' Tareekh ul Khulafa by Suyuti, page 177, also he said "He who wants to see Adam (as) in his knowledge, Noah (as) in his determination, in his clemency, Moses (as) in his intelligence and Jesus (as) in his religious devotion should look at Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as)" Tafseer al-Kabeer, by Fakhrudeen al-Razi, under the commentary of the Verse of Imprecation (Mubahila), v2 p288. also in surah 38:75 when allah asked ibiles why he did postrate and he asked him if he was one of the aaleen (high and mighty ones) from this we learn that the aaleen are superior to prophet adam because they would not have to bow to him but who are they? "The Prophet (s) said 'Me and 'Ali were created from one Nur, fourteen thousand years before the creation of Adam. When Adam was created our Nur was split in to two, one part went in me, the other part went in 'Ali"

im am responding to youtube user smartmartee on the the video THE TRUE ISLAM, SUNNI, SHIA, or SUFI? ....rasulollah was the best of creation better than all the prophets and imams so the seal of prophets is the best of them and our 12 imams are the seal of imams there are none after them therefore the seal of imams are also superior to all previous imams, its somthing lik skool in the first year you are taught somthing but the next year it gets more advanced, this is how divinly chosen leader ship went superior each time but messengers are always better than prophets and imams are always better than the both, now for evidence in the event of mubahilah the prophet took imam ali under the category of bring yourselves in surah 3:61 The word anfus is the plural of nafs which means soul or self. When used in relation to an individual, it implies another being of the same identity with complete unity in equality; therefore, one is the true reflection of the other in thought, action and status
