Q. What is the difference between the Shias and the Sunnis?


Brother, the difference… it’s a political difference. Actually in Islam, there is nothing like Shia and Sunni –

There is no ‘Shia’…. ‘Sunni’ mentioned in the Holy Qur’an.The Qura’n says in Surah Al-Imran, Ch. No. 3, V. No. 103… (Arabic)…‘Hold together to the rope of Allah, and be not divided’ – there is nothing like ‘Shia’…. ‘Sunni’ in Islam.
These came in later centuries…afterwards, due to political differences in Islam. Muslims are only one category and are no sub categories like… Shia, Sunni or anything. Because Qur’an say clearly in Surah Anaam, Ch. No. 6, V. No. 159 that… ‘Who ever makes sects… divisions in Religion of Islam, he has nothing to do with Allah (SWT).’ Means, making sects is prohibited in Islam. The difference between Shia and Sunni is a political difference, and not a religious difference. Hope this answers the question. Dr.Zakir Naik

Let me answer you.

“…if any one killed a person, it would be as
if he killed the whole of mankind; and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole of mankind…” -
The Holy Quran (Chapter Five, Verse 32).

V. funny because as it seems it's animals ur muslim brothers are beheading in the north, right after they scream 'alhuwakbu! alhuwakbu!! 'alhuwakbu!!!

Most of the religious practices of Islam come from the Hadiths. I don't know any muslim that practices on the basis of only what's in the Quran.

Let me answer you.

Quoran 9:5 And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

This verse was revealed towards the end of
the revelation period and relates to a limited
context. Hostilities were frozen for a three-month
period during which the Arabs pledged not to wage
war. Prophet Muhammad was inspired to use this
period to encourage the combatants to join the
Muslim ranks or, if they chose, to leave the area
that was under Muslims rule; however, if they were
to resume hostilities, then the Muslims would fight
back until victorious. One is inspired to note that
even in this context of war, the verse concludes by
emphasizing the divine attributes of mercy and
forgiveness. To minimize hostilities, the Qur'an
ordered Muslims to grant asylum to anyone, even
an enemy, who sought refuge. Asylum would be
granted according to the customs of chivalry; the
person would be told the message of the Qur'an but
not coerced into accepting that message.
Thereafter, he or she would be escorted to safety
regardless of his or her religion. (9:6). (Hathout,
Jihad vs. Terrorism; US Multimedia Vera
International, 2002, pp.52-53, emphasis added)
Therefore, this verse once again refers to those
pagans who would continue to fight after the period
of peace. It clearly commands the Muslims to
protect those who seek peace and are non-
combatants. It is a specific verse with a specific
ruling and can in no way be applied to general
situations. The command of the verse was only to
be applied in the event of a battle. As Abdullah
Yusuf Ali writes:
The emphasis is on the first clause: it is only
when the four months of grace are past, and the
other party show no sign of desisting from their
treacherous design by right conduct, that the state
of war supervenes - between Faith and Unfaith.
(Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’an, Text, Translation and
Commentary, emphasis added)
If the pagans would not cease their hostilities
towards the Muslims, then they were to be fought,
especially since they were living in the land of an
Islamic state. Dr. Zakir Naik writes concerning this
verse:
This verse is quoted during a battle. ...We
know that America was once at war with Vietnam.
Suppose the President of America or the General of
the American Army told the American soldiers
during the war: "Wherever you find the Vietnamese,
kill them". Today if I say that the American
President said, "Wherever you find Vietnamese, kill
them" without giving the context, I will make him
sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context,
that he said it during a war, it will sound very
logical, as he was trying to boost the morale of the
American soldiers during the war. ...Similarly in
Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 the Qur'an says,
"Kill the Mushriqs (pagans) where ever you find
them", during a battle to boost the morale of the
Muslim soldiers. What the Qur'an is telling Muslim
soldiers is, don't be afraid during battle; wherever
you find the enemies kill them. Surah Taubah
chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer to the allegation
that Islam promotes violence, brutality and
bloodshed. It says: "If one amongst the Pagans ask
thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear
the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he
can be secure that is because they are men without
knowledge." [Al-Qur'an 9:6]

The Qur'an not only says that a Mushriq
seeking asylum during the battle should be granted
refuge, but also that he should be escorted to a
secure place. In the present international scenario,
even a kind, peace-loving army General, during a
battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they
want peace. But which army General will ever tell
his soldiers, that if the enemy soldiers want peace
during a battle, don't just let them go free, but also
escort them to a place of security? This is exactly
what Allah (swt) says in the Glorious Qur'an to
promote peace in the world.

This post is very far from correct. You wouldn't find any Sunni or shia cleric saying something like this.

The difference between the Sunni and shia is purely religious and doctrine entwined not political basically.

The Muslim nation was one until the people deviated and started creating factions, therefore what is needed is for us all to return to the pristine Islam.

The pristine Islam is the Quran, the Sunnah and the understanding of the best generation which are the companions of the Messenger alyhissolaat wassalaam

Of course. As Muslims you should practice what's in the Quran and Hadith. But most actually comes from the Quran. That's why you are implied to finish your Quran first before going to the Hadith.

Religious practices come from BOTH the Qur'an and the sunnah (which we get from the hadiths). Both of which should be understood according to their original context.

The truth is that this ummah will split into sects just as those before us (Christians and Jews). This is why it is important for us to stick to the Quran and the sunnah and oppose innovations in the religion.

It's better for you to keep shut if you don't understand the basis of the matter else you will say something that will cause you regret in your hereafter!

The sahabah are not people you should be addressing like you address your landlord or some other Tom, Dick and Harry!!!

Even when Ali disagreed with some sahabah rodiyaLLaahu anhum on some issues it didn't cause him to dishonour them or call them disbelievers rather he honoured Aisha and preserved her status as the mother of the believers, he also gave Umar bn Khattaab his daughter Ummul Kulthoom as wife.

Then some generation of heretics came and started claiming to be shia (followers and lovers) of Ali, but anyone who studies their methodology and origin will know that they are followers of the cursed AbduLLah bn Saba (the Jew who claimed to accept Islam but only entered it to cause havoc).

Go and find the history of Kawarij and Shi'a first pls. Aliyu R.D fought shi'a himself cux they even try to worship him. At the end Shi"a are still the one who kill Aliyu the Lion of Islam R.D

The last part of your post is a shot you gave yourself in the foot!!! You added the companions rodiyaLLaahu anhum to what we have as Muslims. Meaning one of our basis is following the companions rodiyaLLaahu anhum.

They insult some and not all because of their political selfishness. Some shi'a believe in the companionship of Aliyu (R.D) and debunk the companionship Ma'awiyya and other caliphates (R.D). Shi'a honour Hussain and leave Hassan,. This is purely political selfishness and political gains, from then they begin to alter the Islamic teachings itself.

They insult some companions, and still it's not a religious matter?!

By the way, the love of the Companions rodiyaLLaahu anhum is not a political matter in Islam at all its a basic creed because insulting them is tantamount to disbelief in the many verses that mentioned their virtues and right.

It's just like Mursi of Egypt was saying that the difference between the Muslims and Christians is not religious it's just political!!!

Someone says Our creator has a son, was killed and other crap that they say, you still say it's not a religious difference.

Most likely you don't know the rank of the companions rodiyaLLaahu anhum in Islam, any offense against them is an offense against Islam. please enlighten yourself.

Insulting a single companion is enough to declare a person as a deviant.
