Sunni and Shia -APEX
Muslims were divided into two primary groups, Sunni and Shia, following the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. Sunnis believed that the community should select its leader, leading to the election of Abu Bakr as the first caliph. In contrast, Shia Muslims maintained that leadership should remain within the Prophet's family, specifically favoring Ali, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law. This division has led to differing beliefs, practices, and interpretations of Islam over the centuries.
FalseThe truth is that Sharia law is based on:the holy book Quranthe Sunnah.Quran is the holy book per God revelation to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Quran is human authored and written text. Quran is God true words and not human words.The sunnah is prophet Muhammad sayings and practices.
There is nothing called Sunni religion. It is only one religion Islam religion, per quran revelation to prophet Muhammad PBUH, under which there are different schools or groups but all having same basic beliefs and worship same God and follow same prophet and pray facing same direction and follow same holy book.
All Islamic schools or sects or factions or groups are belonging to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They don't differ in the basic and main Islam beliefs and differ only in minor issues that are not critical. They are all Muslims who are:believing in one and same Godbelieving and following same prophet, Muhammad (PBUH)reciting and memorizing the same holy book, Quranpraying facing same direction (Kibla), KabaPerforming pilgrimage (Hajj) to same place and same ritual worshipfasting same month, Ramadanbelieving in the Day of Judgmentbelieving that they differ only on minor Islam issues but never on basic Islam principles and teachings.believing that they should cooperate for the benefit of their families, countries, religion, and humankind.
There are several Islamic groups that consider themselves more orthodox to Mohammed's teachings, including Salafists, Wahhabis, and some strands of Hanbali jurisprudence. These groups emphasize a strict adherence to the Quran and Hadith (teachings and practices of Prophet Mohammed) and reject any innovations or interpretations that deviate from the teachings of the early Muslim community. However, it is important to note that different individuals and scholars within these groups may have varying interpretations of what is considered orthodox.
Sunni, Shiite, Ibadi, and most other groups of Muslims recognize MUHAMMAD as the last prophet.The Ahmadis (which consider themselves Muslims but are widely considered to be members of a Post-Islamic religion by Non-Ahmadis) see Ahmed Mirza Ghulam as the last prophet.
AnswerThe two main sources are:the Holy Quran, andthe prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Sunna (his sayings and practices)All other sources are based on these two main sources and should not contradict with them.
The sunnah is the sayings and practices/doings of prophet Muhammad; peace be upon himIt means prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sayings and practices. This should be followed by Muslims together with Quran teachings.Answer:The word "sunnah" means a way, a practice. It is like the term "method of operation".This word can apply to anyone - even God. God has "a way" of dealing with His creation.In Islamic terminology, the 'Sunnah' means the way and example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him - PBUH). The 'Sunnah' includes things that Muhammad said and did - even down to how he wore his clothes - and things that he approved or disapproved of.The wisdom of this is that God reaveals a scripture, and the Prophet to whom He reveals it then shows his people how to live by that scripture. He is our example. For instance God, in the Qur'an, tells us to pray. Without the example of our beloved Muhammad (PBUH), we would not know how or when to pray. He showed us.Therefore, we follow the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. That is why we are called 'Sunni' Muslims. We are the majority. 85%. We are the true, orthodox Muslims. Other groups - like the Shiah - are off in left field, inventing all kinds of incorrect things and falling away from what Muhammad taught.
The term Northmen applies to the people known as Scandinavians, Vikings or Norse.
The main difference between Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims is their beliefs regarding the rightful successor to Prophet Muhammad. Sunnis believe that the leader should be elected, while Shia believe it should be a descendant of the Prophet. There are also some differences in religious practices and interpretation of Islamic teachings between the two groups.
The Makkan groups expressed their reactions through verbal attacks, economic boycotts, harassment, and in some cases physical violence against the early Muslim community in Makkah. They rejected the message of monotheism preached by the Prophet Muhammad and sought to suppress the spread of Islam. It led to a period of persecution and hardship for the Muslim community.
