Do Shiites pray like sunnis

Answer 1

Not all Sunnis and Shias hate each other.

The Sunnis have no objection to the beliefs of Shias like:

Imamat or the way they offer prayer or the Kalma they recite, or Muttaa (temporary marriage), taqqiya, so and so on. The thing that provokes Sunnis to fight against Shias is:

The derogatory, insulting and offensive remarks and filthy uttering of Shias against the holy Companions (RAU) whom Almighty Allah has many times mentioned as the criterion of Eeman (Faith). In Sura Fateh 1400 Companions (RAU) woved to sacrifice their lives at the hands of the Holy Prophet (SAW) to avenge the rumored about death of Hazrat Usman (RAU). Almighty Allah likes that wove and appreciates the Companions (RAU). The holy Companions of the Prophet (SAW) sacrificed their lives, properties and even kith and kin for the sake of Islam. Almighty Allah has given them a certificate of His pleasure in the following words:

Translation: Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him.

The Shias curse them, and also curse the wives (Mothers of all Muslims) of the holy Prophet (SAW). How can a true Muslim tolerate his Mothers being cursed and blamed, and their effigies being burned and thrown shoes at? How can a true Muslim tolerate Hazrat Abu Bakr RAU and Hazrat Omar RAU being disgraced publically and cursed on loudspeakers? It was Hazrat Abu Bakr RAU whom the holy Prophet (SW) appointed to lead the Muslims in their prayers. It was not Hazrat Ali RAU or even Hazrat Abbas RAU, the beloved Uncle of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Worldly Caliphate is not inherited by Prophets. The Companions RAU chose Hazrat Abu Bakr RAU their Caliph who proved the only suitable choice for this important duty.

This is the only cause of fighting between the two groups. Shiaism is the only religion in which abusing and cursing the holy personalities of Islam is the basic belief. Keeping one's true ideas and faith hidden (Taqiyya) is also considered to be their basic belief. Hazrat Ali RAU, Hazrat Hassan RAU, Hazrat Hussain RAU never started doing such nefarious and immoral activities, neither did they initiated Ashoora processions, beating their chests and wounding them with chains. Islam does not permit hateful remarks and such things even against Hinduism, Budhism or any other religion. The holy Prophet (SAW) is Rahmat (Mercy) for all creatures of all Ages. He never taught or preached cursing others. Those who claim to be Muslims should surrender unconditionally to the Will of Almighty Allah, Who has created us all and loves us all, humans, birds, animals, fish and even plants. Let us tolerate humans belonging to different religions. Each of us is answerable to Allah Almighty for his own deeds, not of others.

Answer 1
These are two sects of Islam. They live in peace with each other in many countries.

Answer 2
the main conflicts is for wahhabi extremist sunni groups like Al-Qaede, Taliban,...

Answer 3
In numerous Muslim countries there is still violence or repression between Sunnis and Shiites. However, it is not a universal Sunni vs. Shiite conflict, but rather a localized and national conflict in different nations because of political and historical grievances.

Currently, there is government-level repression of Shiite Islam in several countries, including Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. In both of these countries, the Shiite population (66% and 15% respectively) are actively banned from government positions, have many sectors of the economy closed to them, and have minimal say even in their own protection. In Saudi Arabia, Wahhabis have issued fatwas against Shiite Muslims, written textbooks slandering their faith, actively banned Ashura and other Shiite festivals, and in some cases prevented the creation of Shiite burial grounds. In other countries, such as Indonesia and Pakistan, violent Radical Sunni-Affiliated Groups terrorize portions of the Shiite population and the government takes no action to protect the Shiite Muslims. Finally, there are a number of Muslim countries like Malaysia, where Shiite Muslims are on good-footing with Sunni Muslims but are prohibited from open proselytization.

There are also current examples of repression of Sunnis by Shiites. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Shiite repression of Sunnis has become dominant again in Iran. Sunni Iranian Cleric Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi has said that the government of Iran (because of its repressive practices towards Sunnis) is a greater threat to Islam than even Israel. In Iraq, Shiites and Sunni militants fight for the attempt to have greater control of the government after America removed Saddam and each group sought to advocate its views to the suppression of the other. As the Shiites are more numerous in Iraq, they seem to have the upper hand in determining policy. In Syria, the current civil war is between a secular Shiite-led government and the majority Sunni population of Syria which has historically been denied the same accessibility to jobs, healthcare, and living-standards.

Answer 3

Here are some points must be mentioned and after that we refer to difference between Sunni and Shiite in praying.first point is that in fifth-time praying there is no difference between them.second point is that the criterion of distinction between both of them is according to opinions of most of religious scientists not whole of them therefore this is possible to confront with some opposite opinions in other words it is in relation to majority not minority.and finally last point is that these differences are pretain to some possible acts not necessary .

1-difference in ADhan and Iqamah: the sunnis dont say,going to the best practice and also dont say witnees to Ali peace be upon him. Sunnis say two times praying is better than sleeping after sayinng going to the purest act. and it is Mostahab for sunnism but heresy for shiism.

2-shiite instead of performing the five prayers compeletly seperately , usually say the noon and afternoon prayers together, as well as the evening and the night prayers whilst sunnis do theses seperately.

3-for shiite,saying (in the name of god the most beneficent the most merciful) is necessary but for sunnis is possible before saynig HAMD.

4-the pillars of praying ,for shiiee is five such as

1. Intention (Niyyat)

2. Saying of the Takbiratul Ihram (Allahu Akbar to begin the Salat).

3. Standing motionless at the time of saying the Takbir, and the standing before going into the state of Ruku'.

4. Ruku'.

5. Two Sajdahs.

but for Sunnis they are four like Standing motionless at the time of saying the Takbir, and the standing before going into the state of Ruku'. Ruku'. Sajdahs. and recitation.and some of them of corrse added intention as other pillar.

5-suunism nesecciate saying the Surah al hamd in all of units(rak ahs) but shiism in thirth and fourth units say the purification of Fatimah peace be upon her.

6-shiism necessiate saying whole surah after Hamd but Sunnism dont.

7-it is traditional practice and possible for sunnism both the saying of Amen after hamd and placing the right hand upon left hand while these practice is forbbiden and heresy for shiism.

8-shiites also perform supergatory prayers and prayers on special occasions such as moments of joy,fear and Thanksgiving or even visiting a holy plce of piligrimage.

Answer 4

They don't HATE EACH OTHER.... all this crap you're hearing from the Media is False, that's like saying 2 Christians 1 Catholic , and the other isn't Hate each other, ofcourse not!, Also Sunni and Shiyas believe everything 100% in the Quran, they only had political power differences- Im a Sunni and I don't hate Shiyas.

me too is Sunni & i also listen that shiyas hate Sunni.

nobody wants Muslims to be united,
