If everything is known by Allah why do we need to pray?
So I have been thinking about this for a long time. If Allah knows everything then what is the need to pray? If something good or bad is written in our fate, it’s going to happen regardless of whether we pray or not. By "pray" here I specifically mean the making of du'a, not the obligitory salat.

Is buying alcohol considered jariyah sins (continues sins even if one die)? because if a person buying alcohol that means the person help the seller to buy more alcohol too, and if there is alcohol, another person will buy and drink it too.
So is the buyer before will get jariyah sins/sins continuously every time someone buys and drink from the seller before?
And if a person buying alcohol just for good like saints experiment also get jariyah sins too?
*Note: i ask this not because I want to buy, sell or drink alcohol. I am just curious, and sorry for my bad English.
Thank you ❤️

The revelation of Quranic verses
Shiites believe that the reason for the revelation of many verses of the Holy Quran is the Commander of the Faithful Ali ibn Abi Talib (many verses of the Holy Quran are about him) For example, verse 55 of Surah Ma'idah: إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُو...

For example, verse 55 of Surah Ma'idah:
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ
Your guardian is only God and His Messenger, and those who believe: those who perform the prayer and pay the alms while bowing.
Other examples: verse 207 of Surah Baqara, verses 3 and 67 of Surah Ma'idah, verse 7 of Surah Bina, verse 4 of Surah Tahrir, verse 61 of Surah Al-Imran. , Verse 23 of Surah Shura and ........
Do the Sunnis agree with the Shiites that there are many verses in the Qur'an about Ali ibn Abi Talib?

Everyone know that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) married Ayesha (RA) when she was 6 and consummated when she was 9.
1. So, does it mean Islam supports child marriages? If at all muslims consider Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) case as exceptional, then why?
2. Also, a related question, Does Islam support Pedophilia by any means?
Answers are expected quoting historical evidences. And also any rulings based on Qur'anic verses is expected along with.
*Answers are expected from all schools of thought and sects*
***This question is put up because, many non believers are in a notion of this, and imagine if someone asks you, and you could not answer.***
**EDIT:**
OK. Those of you guys who are getting stuck at the age of Ayesha(RA), you can take help from this Age of Ayesha (AS) at marriage? . But don't take it as final plz. **Seems there has always been the controversy regarding the age of Ayisha(RA).**

I am a Muslim by religion, and I always feel exhilirated when I research about the history of Islam and its teachings. I am an Aerospace Engineer by profession.
I have heard that Hazrat Izraeel is the angel of death according to the teachings of Islam, or in other words, Angel of death. I don't exactly know where is this fact written; it could be in Quran itself or maybe we know about this through Ahadis. But my question is that how can Hazrat Izraeel be present at more than one locations, if for example, 10 people die in this world at exactly the same time. It doesn't practically make sense near me. Or I am missing something. Would be glad to enlighten myself with this knowledge.

In this [website](http://www.myreligionislam.com/detail.asp?Aid=5974) the author of the article claims:
Hell consists of seven levels. The torment inflicted in each level is severer than the torment inflicted in the level above it. (Faraid-ul-Fawaid)
- The first level: Its name is Jahannam, which is the least severe in torment. Sinful Muslims will be inflicted torment there.
- The second level: Its name is Sa'ir, whose fire and torment is severer. Jews will suffer torment there.
- The third level: Its name is Saqar, which is much severer in torment. Christians will suffer torment there.
- The fourth level: Its name is Jahim, where those who worship the Sun and stars will be inflicted torment.
- The fifth level: Its name is Hutamah, where Zoroastrians, Buddhists, and Brahmans will be inflicted torment.
- The sixth level: Its name is Lazy, where atheists, polytheists, and heathens will be inflicted torment.
- The seventh level: Its name is Hawiyah, which is the severest in torment. Hypocrites and apostates (murtads) will be inflicted torment there.
Are those levels supported by evidence from the Quran or Sunnah? And also isn't Christianity and Judaism just Islam, so why would they go to Hell according to this article?

Can niyat (intention) be done by heart, or must it be declared verbally?
There has been a countless debate between people about intention or Niyat of namaz or fasting. Some people say it is ok to say it in the heart, while others require that it be spoken, be it niyat of fasting or prayer. What is the right way according to Islam?

What is the reason behind this?
