laughing hard

chakula:

please, state the remaining thousand sects mr lact.

t.truth:


From the earliest days after the death of Muhammad, his followers split into very many sects. Most of these sects dissolved into oblivion; others persisted into modern times, yet more have had their influences continue; the following are only a sample:

1 Kharijites/Secedres: Who were the very first to split from 'mainline Islam' who believed that Ali should have been made Khalifa instead of Mua'wyia. Their ideas were puritanical, democratic and violent. The Wahabis of Arabia are their followers except that are not democratic but very violent and fundamentalist.


2 Murji'ites/: Those who postpone (Judgement till the Last Day). They were men who did not take life too seriously and were tolerant of human frailties and weaknesses; they believed that even a fornicator or a thief would not be debarred from Paradise if they believed in the unity of God. Their beliefs were the exact opposite of the Kharijites.


3 Shi'a/Party: While the Kharijites actually went against Ali, the Shi'a believe that Ali should have been the legitimate Khalifa and he and his two sons Hassan and Hussein are venerated as martyrs to 'Islam'. They are the believers in the legend of the Mahdi (similar to the Messiah) and the doctrine that there is an infallible Imam (Religious Leader) in every age to whom alone God entrusted the guidance of his servants and hence rejecting the principle of the concensus of the community. The Imam of the Shia becomes like the Pope in Catholicism: Divinely ordained, divinely inspired and the true successor of the prophet.


4 Mutazilites/Modernists: who claimed the right to judge revelations in the light of reason and the tenets of philosophy. The title means (Those who have withdrawn). This movement originated in the philosophical and theological ideas of Wasil bin Ata (699-749) which took roots especially under the Abbasid Caliphate of the ninth century. They held the belief that reason must play a role in the Muhammadan's encounter with Allah. They even went against orthodox teachings by declaring that the Quran was created and that the dogma of predestined humanity is neither moral nor logical.


5 Ahmadiyah: The most recent sect in 'Islam' as founded in 1908 by Gulam Ahmad al Qadiani in India. It has revolutionary concepts which challenge most of the theological interpretations of the Quran by the other sects since it disapproves of Jihad, does not accept that Muhammad is the last prophet, the mediaeval Ulama need not be followed in the interpretation of the Quran and Hadith, etc.

6 Qadarites: They rejected the precept that Man is pre ordained and believe that he has Free Will.

The above are only the more important sects among thosands more. They too fell into divisiveness, internal blood letting, 'brotherly' hatred and mutual destruction.

My Dear sister....I feel we really need to understand the concept of religion! Christianity is a religion n dos practicing it are the christians! Likewise Islam is a religion n dos practicing it are the muslims.

To learn about ISLAM/CHRISTIANITY u av to study the religion fundamentals and principle in isolation of the xtics of nowadays muslims/christians around the globe! U ll b surprise to see d great difference between dis religions teachings and xtics of some d followers!
In my opinion! One leaving Christianity because of the sects found therein isn't a good excuse for me cox same really exist in islam (thou major principles are still general...solat!fast!hajj n etc)

I will advice we take ur precious time to study more about islam as a religion! Read Quran to understand and also good books! So that 1day an act of hypocrisy by some so called muslims wount drive u out of the religion!

Salam!

If a muslim lack knowlegde of islam he will surely be deceived with JEsus is your lord and personal saviour nd leaves islam if problems arise.
