Do Shias pray to imams?
Shia do not pray to mortals such as the Imams. This is a common misconception about Shias. Shias believe that after Prophet Mohammed(SAW) Imam Ali (A.S.) was his true successor and from Imam Ali came the rest of the 11 imams. Shia don’t worship them as to do sajda (prostrate) towards them.
Which Hadith follows Shia?
Thanks for A2A. Shias have their own books of narrations (Hadiths) much like the Sunnis do. There are hadiths which are present in books of both the sects. However, the books which have been compiled by Shia scholars have been mostly narrated by the Holy Prophet pbuh and his pure family members.
Why is Ali important to Shia?
Ali was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and a member of the Ahl al-Bayt. According to Shias, Ali was the first Imam who is believed to be the rightful successor to Muhammad, divinely appointed successors of Muhammad who are claimed by the Shias.
