#1 Need a decoder ring. What does "AS" stand for?

#2 Not sure. The answer is probably here but I've not been able to find it yet.

#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.

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

#8 "AS" is Arabic for Set Cross Hairs Here.

#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?
