#10  Sounds to me like they have no idea who, if anyone, is buried in Ali's tomb. Or should I say Cenotaph, since there's no body in it?

#7  AS, if I'm not mistaken is alakhum salakhum or some shit like that for "may peace be upon them."

#5  I think it means "may Allah bless him." I noted that the parenthetical for the Prophet was "(SAW)" rather than "(AS)." Not sure what that's about.
