I have a question. Thanks.?

Question

My question is, what is the point of Shia and Sunni Muslim fight each other, although we are all Muslim, do they even know, or does it even register in there mind, that we are all Muslim and that's it.
I mean, they bark over things something like, Shia are right, or Sunni are right, or whatever, my question is, how u know, who is right, or wrong, what are u, mastered with rocket science u know everything. I mean, God knows, what is right and what is wrong, how can a human being know all that.


I don't get it, when I see thing, all I see, Sunni and Shia fight, I mean, we are all Muslim, but we believe different way, and pray different way, it don't mean, we are not Muslim, I mean we are all Muslim, but we follow things different way, like praying wise.


I remember, one of the sister, she is Shia Muslim, I added her on facebook, and told her to add some user I know, she said, is it okay, because I am a Shia Muslim, I said, if anything happen let me know, she was wondering maybe, what if, others don't like me, since I am a Shia Muslim, and they all are Sunni Muslim.


Overall, I don't care who is Sunni, or Shia Muslim, all I care, we are all Muslim, and we are human, what is the point of fighting over some stupidity and make bunch of stupid drama, since ur a Muslim. So what, ur a Sunni and Shia, what is that suppose to mean, oh we are all perfect, we are not perfect, get that in ur mind.


Also I hear from others, I won't marry Shia Muslim, or whatever, I say, quit hating, because I really don't care, ur a Sunni or Shia Muslim, I will marry who ever God has for me, even if ur a Shia Muslim, so what, we are Muslim, that's all it matters to me.


Your thought.

Answer 1

Well, I would say, research the difference in a non-biased way, believe whatever convinces you, but don't hate anyone... no religion of Allah(sw) asks for "hate"..

But since humans are prone to be attracted by "rejection of the different" mentality, the use of "hate" to advertise a sect has become popular, as of late.



Just be careful and live your own peaceful life. Don't get dragged into the pits of sectarian abuse, insults, violence...etc



Try and switch to a different platform with intelligent and respectful argument if you are greatly disturbed by the quality of muslims on Y!A.





I like real "football", one where players are restricted to using their (feet) mostly to hit the ball.... soccer as it goes in your country..



La Liga fan

Answer 2

Hello O'brother



Shia and Sunni really do not differ. I don't k ow why people of the past made Muslim groups, that is wrong! They say something and one says something different then they all fight about it.

This was all made about how Prophet Muhammed did what.



Well my family are Shia but I am not Shia nor am I Sunni, I am a MUSLIM.



Thank you

Answer 3

You ask a sensible question, but I don't know anywhere near enough about the middle east to be able to answer it properly. I do however sense that the divide is more to do with cultural boundaries than religious ones. I know the divide is over Mohammed's succession but I suspect it stopped being wholey about that centuries ago.

It's in a similar way to the problems in Northern Ireland where it may be on the surface about catholics and protestant Christians fighting it out, but really it's a cultural clash between the native Irish and those who were Anglo-Irish colonists from centuries ago. However you ask them and they maintain that it's all about religion.



The trouble with people, is that they prefer to distinguish themselves from others by how they're different rather than how they are similar. I wish everyone could learn that similarities are better than differences.

Answer 4

We are muslims with conflicting beliefs. How can we have unity when we brand ourselves!?!? Sunni, Shia, WHATEVER!! I am a muslim who follows the Quran and Sunnah and Authentic Hadeeth, not branded. I dont want to be labeled inside the muslims, i dont want to be in sects. Ahlasunnahwa jamaah are the people who hold tight to the rope of Allah. That is what i'm going to do, not get divided!!!



Peace!

Answer 5

Their differences are primarily over inheritance issues. Surely as a Muslim yourself you should know this already.

Answer 6

They dont take into account that islam is about believing god and his messenger (s.a.w) and doing good deeds. some ppl are ignorant. If you believe in Allah as ONE, you will eventually enter heaven

Answer 7

Its no different than the Protestants and Catholics blowing one another to smithereens in Northern Ireland.



tennis, NFL, NBA, college basketball.

Answer 8

well its nice to know u are that open minded.
