Qur'an

The Quran (القرآن‎, romanized: al-Qurʼān, literally meaning "the recitation"), also romanized Qur'an or Koran, is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God (Allah). It is widely regarded as the finest work in classical Arabic literature. The Quran is divided into chapters (Arabic: سورة sūrah, plural سور suwar), which are subdivided into verses (Arabic: آية āyah, plural آيات āyāt).

Hearing the angles is not restricted for the prophets only but many persons were mentioned in Quran used to hear the angles like mother of Musa ( We inspired to mother of Musa that: Suckle him ) Sura Al-Qassass, verse 7. 
Mariam, the mother of Easa used to hear the angles (Sura 3m verse 42 and 45) but she was never a prophet. Sara, wife of Prophet Ebrahim was also hearing the angles as we read in Quran (Sura Hood, verse 69 to 73).

Even Sunni Muslims claim that Umar ibn Al-Khattab used to hear the angles. They called Umar ibn Al-Khattab by the name: Muhaddath Al-Ummah. Fadhaa'il Al-Sahabah, by Mohammad Hasan abdul-Ghaffar, V.4, page 6.

The 12 Unfallible Imams were granted by Allah great gifts and abilities to guide the Ummah to the right path after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).

Islam was completed before the departure of the Prophet from this life. Infallible Imams never added any thing but preserved the real teachings of Islam. Their status definitely higher than mother of Musa and mother of Easa and Sara wife of Ebrahim.who were hearing the angles.

Quran states in Sura 3, verse 61 that Ali (AS) is like the self of the Prophet وأنفسنا وأنفسكم. Say: (O Muhammad): Come, let us call our sons and your sins, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. The Prophet brought Ali as himself. This means that Ali's status is the greatest after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
The Prophet (SAWA) said to Ali (AS): O Ali, you are from me and I am from you.

-Al-Khasaa'iss by Al-Nasaa'i, page 19. And many other Sunni books of Hadeeth.
'This prophetic statement is very clear that Ali is from the Prophet and the Prophet is from Ali. No prophet was having such high status from the Proohet Muhammad (SAWA).

This claim is untrue and based on misunderstand Quranic verses.

'You may ask them for details , then you will see that they have misunderstood many Quranic verses. 
Quran generally uses the word (man) for human beings whether man or woman. This is mentioned in most matters which concern man and woman, but in special matters of women, the word woman is mentioned.

The number of the twelve Imams is mentioned in Quran when mentioning the divine leaders after Prophet Musa (Sura Al-Maa'idah , verse 12).

Allah (SWT) Mentioned that Prophet Muhammad is sent to people as Prophet Musa was sent. (Sura Al-Muzzammil , verse 15.

'From these two Quranic verses we know that the divine successors of the Proohet Muhammad are twelve just like the divine successors after Musa.

'Mentioning the names of the twelve Imams explicitly is not our job to ask as Allah did not mention explicitly the numbers of units of our most compulsory daily prayers and left if to the Prophet (SAWA) to explain. Allah Knows what to mention and not.

'As the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) mentioned the number and the names of the twelve Imams, every Muslim must believe and follow the Prophet (SAWA).

No, as far as I know because we have never seen any authentic evidence in Quran suggesting that the earth is flat. On the contrary, many Quranic verses are been understood by our leading scholars that the whole earth is not flat at all.

This act of worship was done by the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Putting the Quran on our head means that we seek the blessings of Quran and we promise to abide the orders of Allah (SWT) in Quran.
