اسلام به ذات خود ندارد عیبی هر عیب که هست در مسلمانی ماست

the belief in 12 Imams originates from the Magi/Majoos in Iran (in terms of hatred for Sahaba, well this was introduced by Ibn Saba the JEW) who worshipped the Sun with its 12 Rays. The Shias try to mix this with the Hadith of the Prophet (saw) where he said there will be 12 rulers after me which the entire nation will accept as their rulers

This Hadith however has nothing to do with the Shia concept of 12 Imams as the 12 Imams were never accepted by all Muslims as their rulers. Also Ibn Abbas (ra) narrated that after the 12 the Saffah will rise (the Saffah was the first Abbasid ruler) however Saffah lived during the life of Imam Jafar Sadiq (6th Imam of Shias) but Saffah was supposed to come after the 12 so this proves the 12 is referring to actual rulers not the "imams" of Shiism

praying to anyone other than Allah is Shirk, also believing in 12 people who are all powerful, all knowing (similar to Allah) is also Shirk. The family of the Prophet (saw) were ordinary human beings, in fact even the Prophet (saw) himself was an ordinary human being except that he was given revelation from Allah (as it says in the Quran "I am a human just like you except that I have been given revelation from Allah")
