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).

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.

The real understanding of the meanings of the Quranic verses needs studying all other verses and authentic Hadeeths on the subject. This needs years of research which is not a job of unprofessional person but an expert who should be an Aalim with long history in research and ability to deeply understand and derive the Islamic rule from the evidence.

'Interest (RIBA ربا) is forbidden between Muslims. Taking interest from non Muslim is allowed as it is part of their usual transactions. Authentic Hadeeths stated that we are allowed to take from non Muslim what they usually give. We are not allowed to do injustice on anyone including non Muslims, but what they give willingly to everyone is allowed to us as well.

Allah (SWT) Has ordered us in Quran : O you who believe , Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and your divine leaders. Sura 4, verse 59.

'This verse is very clear that it is obligatory to obey Allah absolutely and always, and to obey the Messenger absolutely and always and the divine leaders absolutely and always. This means that all their orders are according to Allah and the Messenger Hesse it is obligatory to obey them as we are ordered to obey Allah and the Messenger. This means that these divine leaders are fully pure and never commit any sin otherwise if they possibly commit any sin then Allah will never Order us to obey a person who might commit a sin as such order can lead to commit a sin which is impossible.

'Sura 33, verse 33 is also clear that Ahlul Bayt are fully purified from any sin or error.

'With out the fact of the infallibility of Ahlul Bayt (Aas) it will be possible to follow any sinful act of the leaders. This is impossible to order Muslims to obey a sinner. Allah says in Quran: : My promised authority will never reach to sinners. Sura Baqara, verse 124, which is very clear that divine leaders can never be sinners.

We need to repeat Estighfaar day and night, and repeat long Sojood (Prostration) whenever we can. It is also useful to visit grave graves of our known persons and remember that they went before us and we are definitely going after them and difference between them and us but only the date of departure. It is also useful to put your hand in head of an orphan out of kindness and respect. This act makes heart more soft.

Imam Ali (AS) was the First Caliph of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). The three rulers who took over the government through Saqeefah were never divine caliphs but they took the government by worldly political means which were never supported by Quran or the Prophet. Saqeefah was planned by few opponents of Ahlul Bayt to snatch away their rights when Ameerul Mo;miners was busy in the funeral of the Prophet (SAWA). Imam Ali (AS) never accepted any of those three rulers who came through Saqeefah.
