All the Muslims follow the holy Qur'an.
The difference between a Fundamentalist and Liberal Muslim is not the book they use, but the method used to interpret it. The Fundamentalist Muslim looks at the Qur'an in an attempt to justify has hatreds and anxieties about the world and reads those lines which appeal most to his burning desire to see others in as much pain as he finds himself. The Liberal Muslim seeks to live a life of honesty and truth and looks at the Qur'an to provide guidance about how to live a life of the highest moral quality. Therefore, he reads those lines which show God's love and compassion for others and the ways which humans can express that compassion. Liberal Islam and Fundamentalist Islam are differentiated only by what the reader brings to the Qur'an and what the reader wishes to see in the Qur'an.

Shiite branch developed because?
The Shi'aa are not a branch but the mainstream community who adhered to the words of Rasoolullaah (saws) which he spoke at Ghadeer-e-Khumm. They accepted Maulaana 'Ali (as) as their Wasi, master, wali after Rasoolullaah (saws) as his successor. Rasoolullaah (saws) himself told to his companions on several occasions that "Shi'ato 'Aliyin homul faa'ezoon", which means that Shi'a of 'Ali are victorious'. Hence even at the time of Rasoolulaah (saws) those who were loyal and faithful to Maulaana 'Ali (as) were esteemed in the eyes of Rasoolullaah (saws). Therefore, the sunnis who consider Abu Bakr as their 1st Khaleefa are the branh of Shi'a who went astrayed from the righteous path of Allaah.

Ramaḍān is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month (the Islamic month of fasting) of the Islamic calendar; the month in which the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Participating Muslims do not eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset in an effort to learn patience, sacrifice and humility. During Ramaḍān Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and aid in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint, good deeds and prayer. Eating, drinking, sexual intercourse, ignorant and indecent speech, arguing and fighting, lustful thoughts, obscene or irreligious sights and sounds during fasting hours are forbidden. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to atone for personal faults and misdeeds.
Fasting is the most prominent event of the month of Ramaḍān. Every day Muslims around the world get up before dawn to eat Suhoor, the predawn meal, and perform the fajr prayer. They stop eating and drinking before the call for prayer starts until the fourth prayer of the day, Maghrib. Muslims may continue to eat and drink after the sun has set until the next morning's fajr prayer call when the process repeats.
Ramaḍān is a time of purity in thought and action, reflection, self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, generosity, charity, sympathy for the less fortunate, and deep personal worshiping of God. The fasting is intended to redirect the heart away from worldly things and activities, cleansing the inner soul, this a time of purity in thought and action, reflection, self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, generosity, charity, sympathy for the less fortunate, and deep personal worshiping of God.

Childhood fasting is not considered compulsory many children endeavor to complete as many fasts as possible in practice for later life. The elderly and chronically ill are exempt from fasting providing that they endeavor to feed one poor person each day. Not fasting is only permitted when the act is potentially dangerous to one's health such as in the case of the elderly, the insane, the sick, and pregnant, menstruating, or nursing women. Twelve Shi'a Muslims define those who travel more than 14 miles in a day as exempt from fasting. Any fasts broken or missed due to sickness or traveling must be made up whenever the person is able before the next month of Ramaḍān.

Answer 2
Argue them about God. please read the book "Tradition of Mufaddal"
Yes, Allah's name is in Quran. Every Sura of the Holy Quran starts with Allah's name except Surah Toba.
How do you show comitment to Allah?
Answer:
Performing salah (the five daily prayers at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset and night) does not show your commitment. It helps you strengthen your commitment, if you already believe.
"Showing your commitment" is just like "showing off". We don't show off. Unless you do it purely for God's sake, then it is simply impure. Not good.
Jesus said to go pray in secret.
But if one's heart is empty of the love and fear of God, then no ritual will place that there.
When you read the words of God from the Qur'an, as you stand and bow down to Him, then you will know how it buildscommitment.
It re-connects you to the source of all good - God.

Why do Muslims believe that Jesus was only a prophet?
Bible is corrupted centries ago.
Quran never corrupted.
First ask- is Bible corrupted? is Quran word of God?
When you find out which one is uncorrupted then come to this question.
(a) "Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani? . . ." (Matthew 27:46)
(b) "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:" (Mark 12:29)
(c) "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God." (Mark 10:18).
Even a child will be able to affirm that: Jesus "cried"Jesus "answered" and Jesus "said" are the words of the one to whom they are attributed, i.e. the WORDS OF A PROPHET OF GOD.
Answer 2In Islam religion, Jesus (peace be upon him) is believed as one of the greatest prophets and one of the greatest messengers of God to mankind.Quran reflects real God words revelation to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in real Arabic words (that is still a live language) that never altered and is recited continuously in all prayers (salah) and is known by heart by so many millions of Muslims allover the world without single word change.
In the Quran, there is a complete chapter (or Surah) titled 'Maryam' (Mary) that confirms Maryam virgin birth. The Quran states the following on the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him):
{(Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous." She said, "My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and it is."} (Quran, chapter 3, verses 45-47)
Jesus was born as miracle by the word and command of God. This command is, as said in Quran, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said in Quran:
{The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being.} (Quran, chapter 3, verse 59)
During the prophetic mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said:
{I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....}
(Quran, chapter 3, verse 49)
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. They believe that the enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) plotted and planned to crucify Jesus. However, God miraculously saved Jesus and raised him up to Him (to God). God, the all Powerful and the all Capable, put the likeness of Jesus (peace upon him) over another man. The enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) thought that the this other man is Jesus and they took him and crucified him. God has said:
{...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... }
(Quran, chapter 4, verse 157)
Quran says: "They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah (or God and same God worshiped in Christianity and Judaism) is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. " (5:72).
Quran says also that:"They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded. " (5:73-75)
It is worthy to emphasize that both Jesus (peace upon him) and Mohamed, or may be spelled Muhammad, (peace upon him) came to mankind to call for worshiping only and the only one God. Neither of them nor Moses came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one and only God. this doctrine that was brought by earlier prophets from including Noah, Abraham, Isac, Jacob, David, Solomon, and others. both Jesus (peace upon him) and Mohamed received the revelation from God to confirm and renew the doctrine of worshiping one (and only one) God.
Answer 3Muslims hold that several lines in the New Testament that allude to or directly state Jesus' divinity (including Mark 3:9-12, 5:7, 9:7-8, 13:36, John 1:32-34, 3:16, 5:17-30, 10:30, 10:36) are all forgeries and corruptions of the original gospel. They, therefore, have no need to address the claims of Jesus being God because all of those claims that are attributed to him are done so falsely. Answer 4 (A hint on Answer 3)Muslims believe in the God holy book the Bible as revelations of God to Jesus (peace be upon him) the same way they believe also in the Torah as revelations of God to Moses (peace be upon him) . However, they believe of course in Quran as the last God holy book that reflects real God revelations to prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Arabic words (a language that is still alive) and Quran was not subject to any modifications or alterations as it was written on the time of its revelations over 23 years and was recited daily and was kept by heart by millions of Muslims. Accordingly, any contradictions with what is mentioned in Quran are viewed as deviations and alterations from true God revelation words to both prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them) especially that the revelation languages of both holy book; Torah and the bible; are no longer alive languages and that both books were written hundreds of years after their revelation time.
Allah gave the Qur'an to Prophet Muhammed صلى الله عليه وسلم in the Cave of Hira.
