Questions for Muslims.?

Question

How can you consider Shiat Muslims? They do not pray 5 times a day but they pray 3. They perform wudu and salat differently including placing the forehead onto a piece of hardened clay from Karbala, not directly onto the prayer mat when prostrating. They hang pictures in their houses of Iman.
Was not Islam the perfected religion? What gave them the right to change it? Ashura when each evening over a period of ten days the Shias commemorate the Battle of Karbala, with a wailing Imam whipping the congregation up into a frenzy of tears and chest beating.

Answer 1

Salam alaikum.Prophet Mohammad said that before kiyamet

Muslims 73 parts and only one part will enter in heaven rest

72 will enter in hell.We are sunnies following Mohammad (pbuh) in İslam.What He used is correct and what He didnt use are wrong.Time of Karbala prophecy of Mohammad was finished long ago and Koran was completed at the time of

Mohammad (pbuh)so what after shia people put in their belief are wrong and out of İslam and we cant accept what other people have decided.Even today sons of Ali dont follow

Shia way.They are Sunnie.

Answer 2

Salam alaikum



Your statements are partially, but not entirely true.



All Muslims, including Shia, recite 5 obligatory prayers every day. Shia have permission to say two consecutively, if their conditions require it. The three times of prayer specifically mentioned in the Quran are strictly adhered to, for the recitation of the 5 daily prayers.



There are minor differences in the wudu and salat between Sunni and Shia. There are also minor differences between the wudu and salat of various Sunni madhabs. Prostration on clay is considered by Shia to be sunnah. I've not researched this myself, but to my knowledge no Sunni school forbids prostration on earth, as there are documented hadiths recording occasions in which the Prophet (pbuh) prostrated on earth.



The hanging of pictures is a disputed issue. However, Shia who hang these pictures do not consider them to be actual pictures of their saints, but only artistic representations.



Yes, Islam is the perfect religion. Shia do not believe that they have changed it. They believe that Sunnis are the ones who changed the practice of the religion. I have not found conclusive evidence either way in my studies, and personally believe that both Sunni and Shia have changed some minor things, but the essence remains the same for all Muslims.



The massacre at Karbala is something which I would recommend all Sunnis familiarize themselves with. If some or all of the commemoration practices are wrong, that doesn't change the fact that this was a tragic occurrence in the history of the Muslim ummah, and we need to be alert that it never happens again.



Calling a Muslim not a Muslim is a very serious issue. Do you really think that determination is up to you? Wouldn't it be better left to Allah?

Answer 3

actually your question is in the right time...

I've been talking to a Lebanese friend...i knew he's a Muslim but nothing more....i once asked him if he's a Sunni or she'at.....he told me he's she'at...i was surprised at first but i asked him what do you do he said:

1]we pray like you five times,the same wudu and everything

2]we fast Ramadan

3]do zakat

and so on...he said we're Muslims just like you

i asked him do you believe in the prophet Mohammad(pbuh) because ppl say that you don't and you say that Ali (rady Allah anho) is the one who's supposed to be the prophet....



he was mortified..!!!!!

i asked him do you put Ali in a higher place than the prophet,he said no of course...

AND they do what's in the prophet's hadith.....



he told me there are some difference in both but not in the basics of Islam....

like they say that all the prophet's house people(ahl biet al naby) are infallible and we(Sunni) don't agree on that....



the point is,she'at has extremists as everything else...they promoted the bad idea that we have about them

in fact the TRUE she'at is just true Islam but with some difference...

i hope i helped to clear the image a little bit

Answer 4

Who the hell gave people like you the right to decide who is a muslim and who is not? Why doyou have to poke your nose into how other sects (or anyone else) worship. Then there are people with even more pronounced views than yours who believe that the best way to solve the issue is to simply bump off the other sect. This inability to acept differences in opinion and meddling into affairs that do not concern them is one of the main reasons for the plight of muslims today. It it not something we should leave to God to decide?



If we go along this path then we will have more and more factions amongst muslims with each saying that the other is not a muslim leading to unending strife and tensions and deaths.

When will people like you learn to live and let live!

Answer 5

Shiat Muslims have chosen to follow Ali & HUssain in whatever they do. Sunni Muslims have chosen the Prophet to follow. But still, it is the same Quraan, it has not been tempered with like the bible. Both categories are Muslims, but some (Sunnis) are doing the right thing in following what the Prophet was doing because even Ali & Hussain were following him. Shiat & Sunni Muslims are under one religion which Islam. Meanwhile, Christianity has different versions, that's the main difference.

Answer 7

Hi, first please remember these words from PROPHET in your heart and souls and you will be blessed (" i am leaving behind two things, Qur'an and sunnat, hold them tight so you will not go astray").

look dear fellow, do not look what the people are doing, do not point on them, you have to answer yourself-so prepare yourself, YES ISLAM is the perfected religion, but these customs made by followers afterwards are known as bidaats which means anything new invention in the religion, so as far as you find something which was and is never told in Quran or Hadith(saying of Prophet/sunnat) plz simply reject it and you have saved yourself from such things which may be as harmfull as to make you loose your religion.

take care

BYE

Answer 8

After observing my Shiite friends, i decided that i should only follow the basics of islam...! it was difficult for me to absorb some practices of that especialy keeping something in front as a sign of Kabala's mud...like it looked somehow idol worshiping to me....!i respect them, but could not agree on some of the things..! this grouping is wrong on first place...We all are muslims and no Sunni or shiite things exist in islam...but infortunately now we are divided into groups..i don't see any solution to that but to make myself free of it and calling myself a muslim only ! and practising it in a simple way !

Sorry but we have brought many things to islam which are not actualy its part and this thing make me sad sometimes !

Answer 9

Who said shiats are muslim? They are not specifically because they changed how the Quran taught us to pray etc.
