There are actually three branches of Islam that are dominant in at least one country in Southwest Asia. In order of popularity: Sunni Islam, Shiite Islam, Ibadi Islam.
The Nation of Islam is controversial because it is a racist (anti-White), anti-Semitic, homophobic organization. Note, however, that Nation of Islam is distinct from Sunni, Shiite, and Ibadi Islam. Read more about the Nation of Islam at the Related Link below.
It depends on the sect and school of Islam that the person follows. In Sunni Islam (excluding the Hanafi School) and Ibadi Islam, prawns are halal. In Shiite Islam and the Hanafi School of Sunni Islam, prawns are haraam since they do not qualify for the the Jewish laws on which types of fishes are permissible.
Oman is actually majority-IBADI, which is a minority sect in Islam that represents less than 1% of all Muslims.
The word "denomination" applies specifically to Christianity and does not have an analog in Islam. In Islam there are sects and within sects there are schools. On separate axes, Muslims self-divide along questions of religiosity (liberal to extremist), political affiliation (secularist to islamist), and orthodoxy (jurisprudential to mystical). There are three major sects (Sunni, Shiite, and Ibadi) and around a dozen schools. These should be multiplied by the other axes and divisions.
For Islam, definitely not. For Christianity, technically not, but several denominations accept it. It is interesting to note that, so far, EVERY country that has legalized same-sex marriage is predominantly Christian. No definetely not in Christianity either. which predominantly christian countries? America? that hardly counts. Its not the christians that make the final decision. It is th leaders, and often the Leaders, whatever they claim, are not christians. Also, not everyone who claims to be a christian is. there are some people who claim to be christians and yet they approve of same sex marriage, sex before marriage etc. These people are just self-proclaimed christians, NOT christians.
Mughals were basically sunni- Muslims. They followed Islam religion and during the period of Akbar, they followed Din-I-Illahi and after his death Jahangir readopted Islam as the official religion of Mughals.
In Islam, there is arranged marriage. In Buddhism, I am not sure but the traditional ways I believe is also the same because back then, traditional marriage was very common.
Most Arabians practice Sunni Islam, but there are significant minorities of Ibadi Muslims (in Oman -- where they are the majority) and Zaydi Shiite Muslims (in Yemen). Most of the Arabs in Saudi Arabia identify strongly with the Wahhabist Strain of Sunni Islam.
