Sunni

Real Islam sent by Allah (SWT) through the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) as the last message for all the mankind till the Day of Judgement is one religion and this fact is clear in Quranic verses. (Verily, the religion by Allah is the Islam)(Sura 3, verse 19).

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) never allowed following different sects. He always ordered Muslims to follow the Quran and Ahlul Bayt (AS) to remain in the Rught Path. Those sincere companions who followed that original Islam which was preached and practiced by the Prophet (SAWA) and his Progeny (AS) were named by him as Shia of Ali and he praised them in many Hadeeths narrated un Sunni books as well as Shia books.e,g, of Sunni books  Shawaahid Al-Tanzeel by Al-Haakim Al-Hasakani, V.2, P.356, Kifayah Al-Talib by Al-Kanji al-Shafi'ee, P. 244, Lisaan Al-Milan by Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani , V.6, P. 243 Hayderabad Dkkin edition.

'Sunni sects never existed during the time of the Prophet (SAWA) but were created and printed by political leaders who wanted to drive Muslims away from Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Following Real Islam can never happen with out following the real Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWA) which is impossible with out following Ahlul Bayt (AS) who narrated the most authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA).

The Shia Muslims are the real followers of the Sunnah of the Prophet as many leading Sunni scholars admit and Dr Tijani Smawi has written a full book on this fact. You can see it on the internet (Shia are the real followers of the Sunnah) الشيعة هم أهل السنة.

There is no doubt that Nubuwwah is only for the prophets, and it was ended by the Last Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) as it is stated in Quran (Sura Al-Ahzab, verse 40) and the very clear and authentic Hadeeth : O Ali, you are from me like Haroun was from Musa, but there is prophet after me. (Saheeh Muslim, Hadeeth 2404), Saheeh Al-Bukhari , Hadeeth 225).

All the twelve Imams from Ahlul Bayt (AS) who are the real successors of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) are having the great status from his great status (A Progeny who are from him. Sura 3, verse 34) but not prophets at all. 

We are able to distinguish between Nubuwwah and Imamah, although both of them are from Allah (SWT) and we are absolutely ordered to obey the Infallible Imams as we are been ordered to obey the Prophet (SAWA) because of the fact that every order from the Ibfallible Imams is from the Prophet (SAWA) which is from Allah (SWT).

'We respect our pious Ulama but never claim infallibility to any Aalim.

You need to take them to an authentic scholar who can explain for the the Islamic rules according to Ahlul Bayt (AS) and tell them that following Ahlul Bayt (AS) is much more important than following the culture or society.

No, she does not need to make up what she has already performed when she was a Sunni. All worships performed according to her previous sect does not need to be repeated.

This question comes in performing every religious duty on us as we need to be sure that we do it the correct way. The way to be sure that you follow the most authentic narrations and most authentic Islamic divine leaders among all the different narrations and different leaders. Sunni sects follow Abu Hanifa or Al-Shafi’ or Malik or Ibn Hanbal or Ibn Taymiyyah. Nine of them ever met the Prophet Muhammad or heard from him as all of them were born long after the demise of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). Shia Muslims follow the divine leaders from Ahlul Bayt (AS) who lived with the Prophet and narrated the real Sunnah of the Prophet and the real Tafseer of Quranic verses. Following Ahlul Bayt (AS) means following the Prophetic Islam.

Shia man is allowed to marry a Muslim woman from any Muslim sect as far as such marriage will not harm his faith and religious practice. If your mother is disagreeing, then you need to do everything you can to convince her and make agree without forcing her. You should never cause anything which hurts the respect or the feeling of your parents.

'Wassalam.

Marriage between Muslims from any Islamic sect is permissible in principle, but if you know that this marriage can harm your faith or religious practice, then you should avoid it because saving your faith and religious practice is more important than marriage. Your mother's happiness can not be through endangering your future. You should explain to her in suitable and polite way your situation and never allow such forced marriage if you feel that it can harm your faith or religious practice.

This claim is fabricated. The Prophet (SAWA) never appointed Abu Bakr to lead prayers during his illness, but Ayisha sent her father Abu Bakr to do that with out permission from the Prophet, and when the Prophet came to know what Ayisha did, he went to the Mosque tolerating his illness, supported by Ali and Al-Fadheelat ibn Abbas, and pulled Abu Bakr back from the Mihrab and lead the prayers himself.

Ibn Abi Al-Hadeed, the well known Sunni Mu'tazili scholar stated that he asked his teacher: Do you say that the Prophet never sent Abu Bakr to lead the Prayer but it was A'yisha who sent her father? He replied me: It is not my claim but Ali Ibn Abi Talib said it, and he was present and I was not present.

This claim is not from Sunni Muslims but from Wahabi sect. Sunni and Shia scholars believe that reciting any Quranic verses or chapters and gifting its reward to the deceased helps the deceased as well as the reciter. Fatwa centre in Egypt ( Daar Al-Iftaa' Al-Masriah دار الإفتاء المصرية) has published a verdict (Fatwa) in Al-Watan newspaper confirming this.
