It was reported from ‘Awf ibn Maalik who said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The Jews were divided into seventy-one sects, one of which is in Paradise and seventy are in the Fire. The Christians were divided into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which are in the Fire and one is in Paradise. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, my Ummah will be divided into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two will be in the Fire.†It was said, O Messenger of Allah, who are they? He said, “Al-Jamaa’ah.â€
Sunan Ibn Maajah, Number 3982
Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam.
Quran 3:19
If not a single Jew or Christian is on the right path (Islam) then how are the majority of Muslims on the right path considering that Islam was split into even more sects as compared to Jews and Christians. Therefore one should not believe they are following the true path just because they were raised up following the religion of the majority. Every Muslim must search truth and not depend on the faith they were raised up with as this is what the enemies of Allah (SWT) did:
Indeed they found their fathers astray. So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.
Quran 37:69-70

“And hold fast, altogether, by the rope Which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves.†[Al-Qur’an 3:103]
The rope Which Allah (stretches out for you) is the Ahlul-Bayt (as) as well as the Quran proved by this hadith:
The messenger of Allah (saww) said: "I am leaving for you two precious and weighty Symbols that if you adhere to both of them you shall not go astray after me. They are, the Book of Allah, and my progeny, that is my Ahlul-Bayt. The Merciful has informed me that These two shall not separate from each other till they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)."

“Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger†[Al-Qur’an 4:59]
The messenger of Allah said to Ali: “You are in the same position with relation to me as Aaron-(Harun) was in relation to Moses but with (this explicit difference) that there is no prophet after me, and that you are the caliph of every believer after me.â€
Al-Sunnah, by Ibn Abi A’asim Al-Shaibani, Page 560, Number 1188
The prophet said: "Whoever I am his master, Ali is his master. O God! Love those who love him and be hostile to those who are hostile to him?"

The prophet (saww) had appointed his cousin, Ali, as the caliph over the Muslims after him and had ordered his companions and his wives to congratulate him for this leadership over the believers in Ghadir Khum. Abu Bakr was among the first people to say: "Congratulations, Congratulations to you, O son of Abu Talib. Today you became the master of every believing man and woman".

“As for those who divide Their religion and break up Into sects, you have no part in them in the least: Their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.†[Al-Qur’an 6:159]
Shia is the original Islam, Imam Hussein (as) before he sacrificed himself said he wanted to bring back the religion his grandfather preached. It was the Sunnis who deviated following the innovations of Umar and co. I will prove this soon from your sources but I first want brother Osama's reply before I move on.
Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (as) was the teacher of Nuʿmān ibn Thābit (Abu Hanifa), founder of Hanafi school of thought and taught Malik ibn Anas, founder of the Maliki school of thought who in turn taught Al-Shafi who taught Ahmad ibn Hanbal so basically all Sunni school of fiqhs were founded by Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (as), the sixth Shia Imam, so rather than learning from his students, Shias learn from him, the teacher. Sahih Bukhari has not a single narration from Ja'far Al-Sadiq (as) while it narrates from Abu Hanifa while Shia books narrate a majority from the Ahlul-Bayt (as). It's the Shais who follow the Sunnah of the prophte (saww).
Shias don't worship graves, we pray towards the kibla, we say three times in our third and fourth rukats; Subhanallah Wal-Hamdulillah Wa La Ilaha Illa Allah Wa Allahu Akbar. We also say in the second and last rakats after sujood; Ash-hadu Alla Ilaha Illa Allah Wahdaho La Shareeka Laho Wa Ash-Hadu Anna Muhammadan ‘Abdoho wa Rasooloh, we also asy the adhan and iqama so how can we be associating?
You said: "I follow the Islam that Umar, Abubakr, Aisha followed."
Then you don't follow Islam, you follow their innovations, again I will show you them from your books just waiting on brother Osama to reply. I will also expose their behaviours that you would have to disassociate yourself from them if you fear Allah (SWT). You do know Umar would go every Saturday to learn from the Jews.
Please don't reply untill you have an answer for every hadith I have posted from your books and make dua asking Allah (SWT) to guide you and not let you be of those who hastened to follow in the footsteps of there forefathers while they were astray.
I will reply brother Osama later after boxing training as I just saw now,
sorry
