Who Is Really A Muslim? by advocatejare(m): 6:17pm On Aug 17, 2021
Muslims are always quick to say that a Muslim is someone who submits to Allah.

But


Sunnis say that Shias are not Muslims, Shia say that Sunnis are not Muslims even though they both submit to the same Allah and they claim that Islam means submission to Allah.

Who then is a Muslim according to the Qur'an or authentic ahadith?

Why are sunnis and Shias always claiming that neither is a Muslim?

And Allaah says of Ibraaheem (interpretation of the meaning):

“And who turns away from the religion of Ibraaheem (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him who befools himself? Truly, We chose him in this world and verily, in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

131. When his Lord said to him, ‘Submit (i.e. be a Muslim)!’ He said, ‘I have submitted myself (as a Muslim) to the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).’

132. And this (submission to Allaah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibraaheem (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya’qoob (Jacob) (saying), ‘O my sons! Allaah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims — Islamic Monotheism)’”

All the words in the brackets are not in the Arabic Quran but mere opinion of the translators so there is no direct words from the authors of the Qur'an that gives the meaning of Islam

This was a position I used to hold.
A Muslim is anyone that strives to fulfill the 5 pillars.
Holds the shahada,
Prays the 5 daily prayers,
Fasts Ramadan,
Goes for pilgrimage/ hajj,
Pays zakkat.

Though, this would in turn mean they are all Muslims, that are refusing to acknowledge the other groups as Muslims as well.
But I blame this on founders of the religion, with the hadith that says the religion will split into 73 sects, and only one is the true sect and will make paradise.
Now every group wants to be, and believes they are the "True" Muslims that will make heaven and everyone else is waisting their time and are bound for Jahannam.

Its all a game of No true Scotsman.

the hadith of 73 sects is misinterpretion. Islam is one and all Muslim groups or sects practice one Islam. Learn wide

“My ummah will divide into 73 sects, all of them will be in the Fire except for one, and that is the Jamā’ah.” It was said, “And who are they, O Allah’s Messenger?”He responded, “That which I and my Companions are upon today.”
- Jam'i at-Tirmidhi 40/2641


That means muslims in the remaining 72 sects will enter Hellfire

If you believe in the authenticity of the hadith then Yes.

This is the hadith that I'll credit as the basis for the emergence of the puritan dogmatic sects like the salafi/wahhabi (which believe themselves to be practicing Islam as practised by Muhammad and the salaf) and whose basis for existence is keen on fighting the other sects.

Please give us the correct interpretation Mr. Ustaz

“My ummah will divide into 73 sects, all of them will be in the Fire except for one, and that is the Jamā’ah.” It was said, “And who are they, O Allah’s Messenger?”He responded, “That which I and my Companions are upon today.”

Well, the hadith is in no way encouraging sectarianism. Rather it is warning against division among the Ummah. If it is a deliberate attempt for disunity and sectarianism in Islam, then the hadith would be in conflict with Sura Al-Imran 103 which gives stem warning against sects. Now, to proof to you that anyone seen or doing these 5 obligatory practices is Muslims. These 5 things are what formed Islam.



The hadith goes as following:

It was narrated on the authority of `Umar, (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:


While we were one day sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), there appeared before us a man. He was dressed in extremely white clothes and had very black hair. No traces of journeying were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the Prophet (peace be upon him), rested his knees against the Prophet’s knees, laid his hands on his own thighs[1] and said, ‘O Muhammad! Inform me about Islam.’



The Messenger of Allah said,

‘Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, that you should perform salah, pay the Zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House, if you are able to do so.’


The man said, ‘You have spoken truly.’



We were astonished at his questioning him (the Messenger) and telling him that he was right. He went on to say, ‘Inform me about iman.’



The Messenger of Allah answered,

‘It is that you believe in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and in the Last Day, and in qadar (fate), both in its good and in its evil aspects.’

He said, ‘You have spoken truly.’



The above i Islam. Now, tell me which of the islamic sects that doesnt believe or perform any of these obligations?

That means that only 1.7% of muslims are true muslims if only one out of 73 sect will be acceptable to allah. The salafis and the wahahis have already decleared that they are the 1.7% their prophet was talking about. So all the shia, the ahmadiyyas, the kwarajis, the Sufis, etc are wasting their time.

The hadith above is very clear and also prophetic; the prophesy which is already manifesting among the ummah. The last time I checked the sunnis are still calling the Ahmadiyyas and the shia kuffar. And note, Pakistan made it a criminal offense to belong to the Ahmadiyyas sect. I know you want muslims to be united but the opposite is the case.

so how's this yourself business?. If this Hadith gives you joy, them I have Quranic verse for you




"Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with you unless you follow their form of religion. Say: "The Guidance of Allah,-that is the (only) Guidance." If you are to follow their desires after the knowledge which had reached you, then would you find neither Protector nor helper against Allah. "Q2:120
