Is it accurate that Imam Ali (a) had a son named by Umar ibn Khattab during his caliphate, as stated in Siyar A'laamin Nubala by Imam Dhahabi, volume 4, page 134? Are there other historical sources that verify this claim, or is it considered fabricated?

It is untrue. Imam Ali (AS) never gave any of his sons the name of Umar Ibn Khattab.

We have narrations that one of his sons was called Amr عمرو not Umar عمر . Amr عمرو is a different name.

Muslim Conquests . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib

Could you provide detailed information about the conquests of Rome and Persia involving Maula Ali and his sons, as well as suggestions for any relevant books on this topic?

Imam Ali (AS) and his sons never took part in any army or battle under the leadership of the wrongdoers. The narrations claiming that are fabricated and never narrated by any authentic narrator. Ibn Khaldoun claimed that in after over eight hundred years after Imam Ali's martyrdom with out mentioning any chain of narrators, that is why scholars do not take such claims as authentic at all. Such fabricated narrations aims to show that Imam Ali (AS) and his sons approved the leadership of the Saqeefa rulers, which is a false claim.

Adhan . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib . Fadak

Why did Imam Ali not continue the same Adhan that was practiced during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (s), and why was Bagh-e-Fidak not given to Imam Hasan (a) and Imam Hussain (a) during Imam Ali's caliphate?

Imam Ali (AS) did not use his authority as head of the state to retain any of his or his family rights. He said that Fatima (AS) and her opponents who took away her Fadak have gone to the hereafter and Allah Will Judge between them.

Imam Ali (AS) was focusing on reserving the rights of Muslims in general and on his or his family rights which were taken away.

Sahih Muslim . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib . Sunni-Shi'a . Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib

What do we have to say about Sahih Muslim Hadith 4577 in which Hazrat Abbas (RA) uses harsh words against Moula Ali (AS) calling him a liar, sinner, covenant-breaker, and traitor?

There is big misunderstanding in your quoting of the Hadeeth in Salih Muslim. The Hadeeth is narrated from Malik ibn Aws مالك بن أوس from Omar ibn Al-Khattab that Omar told Abdullah Ibn Abbas that you and your cousin Ali Ibn Abi Talib looked at Abu Bakr and at me as liars, sinners, covenant-breaker and traitor. (Salih Muslim, 5;152).
'Omar was telling Abdullah Ibn Abbas what he and Ali (AS) thought about Abu Bakr and Omar.

This Hadeeth was narrated also in Musannaf Abdul Razzaq 5;472.

Bukhari has also narrated this Hadeeth from Musannaf Abdul Razzaq but he omitted two words from it.

Ring . Ruku' . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib

Who had owned the ring previously, the one that Hazrat Ali gave in charity to the beggar while in Ruku?

Imam Ali (AS) was the owner of that ring and he gave it to the poor person. According to a narration from Ammar Al-Sabaati عمار الساباطي from Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS), the ring was in the finger of Miran ibn Tawq who was leader of Kafirs who was killed by Imam Ali (AS) and the ring was taken from his fingered by Imam Ali (AS) and was given to the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) who gave it back to Imam Ali (AS) as part of his share from the spoils and put it in his own fingered then gave it to the poor person during his Rukoo'.

'Al-Ghazali who is a well known Sunni scholar stated in his book Sirrul Alamein that the ring which Imam Ali (AS) gave to the poor during Rukoo' was the ring of Sulaiman (AS).

Imam Ali b. Abi Talib . Ghulat

Is it permissible to use phrases like "Jal Jalalah," "Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala," or "Azza Wa Jal" for Imam Ali (a), as some claim it only denotes glory?

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and the Infallible Imams (AS) used these phrases for Allah (SWT) only. Imam Ali (AS) in the most humble servant of Allah after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). We should avoid any act which was never done or instructed or approved by Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Property . Hadith . `Abbas b. `Abd al-Muttalib b. Hashim . Sunni-Shi'a . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib

What is the status of Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib for the Shi'a? I read in Sunni books that he had a property dispute with Imam Ali (AS), is this an authentic narration?

Al-Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib is one of uncles of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Ameerul Mo'mineen (AS). We have many narrations praising him. This should be enough for us.

Heaven . Marriage . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib . Sayyida Fatimah al-Zahra'

Is it true that the Nikah of Imam Ali (as) with Syeda Fatima (as) was recited by Allah in heaven?

The marriage of Imam Ali (AS) with Lady Fatima (AS) was ordained by Allah (SWT) when He ordered the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA): ZAWWIJ ALNOOR MINAL NOOR ( Arrangvthe marriage of the Noor (Ali) with the Noor (Fatima).

This Hadeeth was narrated in many Sunni books like Al-Mustadrak ALAL-Saheehain by Al-Haakim Al-Nisabouri (Volume 3, page 125).

This means that that marriage marriage was by order from Allah (SWT).

Hadith . Qur'an Recitation . Imam Ali b. Abi Talib

Are there any Hadiths mentioning the benefits of reciting the Quran in Maqaamat? Can they be traced back to Imam Ali (AS)?

Amina Inloes, Amina Inloes is originally from the US and has a PhD in Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter on Shi'a hadith. She is the program leader for the MA Islamic Studies program at the... Answered 1 year ago

In al-Kafi, it is related that Imam al-Sadiq said that the Prophet said: "Recite the Qur'an according to the tones and sounds of the Arabs. Beware of using melodies belonging to people who transgress or commit misdeeds. For, after me, different peoples will chant the Qur'an in a singing and cooing fashion. The monks' incantations are also not allowed for it, for their hearts are facing the wrong way, as are the hearts of those who admire them."

So this is the general idea of maqamat, which are the traditional musical modes of the Arabs, although not exactly mentioning maqamat in detail.
