Thank you for your question. One of the conditions for a prayer leader according to the School of Ahl al-Bayt (as) is that they are baligh. If they are not baligh, that prayer cannot be lead by them and so if someone participated in that prayer they will need to repeat it.

Thank you for your question. It is recommended to look for as complete a package as you can when you look for a spouse. Of course, some qualities are more important than others such as the qualities you have mentioned.

Finding a spouse is like buying a pair of shoes. Sometimes the most attractive are not a great fit and are not the most practical. But the most comfortable may not look so good at parties or give you shoppers satisfaction. Ultimately, it is about balancing all the considerations that are important to you, but Islam has recommended that which is best for a person in this world and the next by emphasizing on the qualities that lead to happiness in both worlds. If a person is God-conscious and has a good character, that should weigh heavily on the positive side as such people are not easy to find. At the same time, there should be a level of physical attraction.

Thank you for your question. This work is not considered to be sufficient in terms of authenticity, and the ascriptions cannot be taken at face value, although it is possible for someone experienced in the field to make use of some of the concepts if they appear in traditions that are of a higher value in terms of authenticity.

Thank you for your question. Enjoying prayer stems from seeing yourself as a servant of God, which is attained through being in touch with your natural disposition. Being in touch with your natural disposition is attained through self-purification, and self-purification is attained through useful knowledge and good actions.

Thank you for your question. God-consciousness is a spiritual state which arises from the recognition of God within a person's being. As such God-consciousness is individual. It is true that if many individuals in a society are God-conscious then the society as a whole will benefit, but godly individuals have rarely had the luxury of such an environment.

The way to strengthen God-consciousness is through useful knowledge and action, trust in God, and a positive outlook in all that concerns Him. Taking time to reflect on how to build your relationship with God and the Infallibles (as) and continually taking positive steps towards that goal.

May you always be successful.

Thank you for your question. It is not obligatory to recite the tashahud loudly in prayers.

Thank you for your question. Enjoining the good and forbidden the evil is dependent on the effectiveness of your actions or words, not on whether the person will feel bad for a time, even if that be your own parents. Rather, what is important is to maintain respect and gentleness if you think your message will reach open ears. 
 

As for playing haram music at your wedding you can state quite clearly that you would be opposed to that.

Thank you for your question. Allah always puts the believer in the most beneficial position for them. So usually when we face difficulties we take solace in the knowledge that Allah doesn't decree anything bad for His servants and certainly doesn't prevent them from getting closer to Him. Rather, if there is an element of repaying some sins and that is in a certain trial then that is the best way for those misdeeds to be repaid and that is a means of getting closer to Him. But since we do not know for sure it is better to put our hope in Allah for the best outcome as there are many other reasons for why marriage may be delayed in the Wisdom of God, which may not seem obvious to us in the moment. Usually when we want something and we consider someone has the power to give it to us and they don't that they are preventing us for no reason or because they are unhappy with us. But maybe in their prevention there is a wisdom, such as preventing us from mistakes, testing to see what we are made of, or perhaps even just in order to make us value marriage when we do get married.

May you always be successful and may Allah grant you a beautiful happy marriage soon!
