Sunni Islam

The answer you are looking for is "Taliban", but to call them a "reform movement" is a little disengenuous. They were (and continue to be) a regressivist Islamist political organization. The reforms that they were making were to revert to medieval-types of laws.

Both. Turkish means people living in Turkey.

However, the overwhelming majority of Turkish citizens are Sunni Muslims of the Hanafi School. There are very small minorities of Twelver and Ismaili Shiites. A far larger minority are the Alevis. It is heavily debated by Islamic Scholars and Scholars on Islam as to whether or not the Alevis are a part of Shiite Islam or are sufficiently different enough to be a Post-Islamic religion (like Druze or Baha'i) because of the increased emphasis of mysticism in the religion.

Both

The majority of the Nigerians are the Sunni Muslims, yet a small minority is Shiites.

shia Islam.

Ali (sa) who married the only daughter of prophet.

shia and sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. today there is up to 260 sect in Islam that are in two category of shia and sunni.

shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.

shia pray 5 times a day but usually do the 2,3 and 4,5 pray together and so may seem they do 3 pray a day. there is some differences in details of pray like how to hold hands in pray and on what do the genuflect (for shia should be on a stone or part of earth and for sunni on carpet or floor ).

shia believe after death of prophet God selects the successive for prophet who is the leader of Muslim community and people can not select it.

shia believe the Caliph (Representative of God in earth after prophet) is appointed only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." (Quran 2:30)

this means only God can select an Islamic leader.

in shia they are only fourteen infallible (12 Imams and prophet and his daughter Fatimah Zahra (sa))

and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (this knowledge is from God and by permission of God and is not absolute knowledge. absolute knowledge is only for God and they still do not know many things. but they know anything human may need to know.) and they never die and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human.

and shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.

shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph valid because God did not select him. they believe God ordered prophet to declare Ali is selected as successor of prophet (Quran 5:3) and prophet did this mission in Ghadir event that was in last Hajj of prophet in his life and prophet did a speech for 120,000 Muslims participating that Hajj with prophet. the famous shia book Al-Ghadir is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Hadith from 100,000 sunni references and read all of 10,000 sunny books. one sunni scholar said if we want to reply Al-Ghadir book (by Allameh Amini) we should first destroy all our books.

Shia doctorin has root in Karbala. when tragedy of Karbala happened most of iranians became shia.

There are more Sunni Muslims than Shiite Muslims. Shiite Muslims represent about 15% of the global Islamic community whereas Sunni Muslims represent 85%. The numbers of the other sects are negligible.

Shape of Resolution
First it should be noted that the United States cannot resolve the theological schism and go back to one single Islamic faith; this is impossible. There are irreconcilable questions of belief that separate Sunnis and Shiites such as: (1) Who was the first legitimate Caliph: Abu Bakr or Ali? (2) Is Jihad a Pillar of Islam? (3) Do the Infallible Imams carry jurisprudential weight? (4) Are shellfish halal or haram? etc. In order for the schism to undo itself, either the 250 million Shiites or the 1.3 billion Sunnis would have to concede to the answers opposite of what they believe on these and similar questions.

However, what the US should strive to do is not to strive for union but strong and cordial relations between Sunni and Shiite communities, not unlike what the Catholic and Orthodox Churches retain now 1000 years after their fractuous schism. They recognize each others' differences but collaborate on mutual goals. Of course, the benefit to promoting this in the Middle East for Middle Easterners is obvious. If sectarianism can be minimized, it will make life safer and more free for numerous Middle Easterners and South Asians. Democracy will have a chance to ennoble and improve the lives of numerous Middle Easterners and South Asians.

Benefits that accrue to the United States
While the benefits that accrue to Middle Easterners and South Asian from resolving sectarianism between Muslims in those region are relatively clear, the benefits that accrue to the United States are less obvious, but no less important. They include:

Trade Stability: One of the major reasons for fluctuations in the American economy has been due to the price of petroleum, which is directly correlated with instability in the Middle East. Helping to stabilize the Middle East will thus correlate with stability in the US economy.

Bulwarks Against Islamism: Islamism and other theocratic philosophies with which the United States cannot reasonably treat are opposed by the same individuals who are promoting reconciliation between the Islamic Sects. Empowering those individuals who wish to reconcile Sunnis and Shiites and other non-sectarians will form a bulwark against the rise of the Islamists. Combating the rise of Islamism is directly in the US interest not only because the United States cannot have stable and beneficial relations with Islamist regimes (Taliban Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sudan, al-Shabaab in Somalia, and ISIL), but because these regimes support and protect terrorist groups like al-Qaeda which have violent designs on the US and its citizens.

Regional Allies: There is no better way to forge allies in the Middle East than by being a peacemaker. The United States' Islamic Allies in the region are problematic because most of them practice open discrimination and do not endorse democratic values. Helping to resolve the sectarian tensions will create democratic allies, like Turkey and Israel that the United States can have strong and beneficial relations with.

American Redemption: While public opinion of the US in most Middle Eastern and South Asian Islamic circles will never be very positive, by helping and promoting peacemakers in the Islamic communities in the Middle East, some ground can be made in improving the US image in the Islamic World. Kosovars and Kurds have an incredibly positive view of the United States for having helped to end the slaughter of their peoples by sectarian thugs. There may yet be hope for US Redemption in Arab, Iranian, Afghan, and Pakistani eyes.

There are many ways you can compare and contrast Mansa Musa Askia Sunni Ali and Sundiata. You could write a paper showing the accomplishments, powers, and resources of each, or you could make table with each of the components down the side and each of the names on the top, or you could even make pie charts for each name.

There are very few functional differences between Sunni Islam in any country. Even between the four major schools, the differences concern very specific issues (such as whether you need to wash your hands once or twice before prayer). As a result, Moroccan Sunnis (who are >99% of the country), teach most of the same things as Sunnis elsewhere.

Morocco's much more mild religious climate, however, makes Moroccans, generally speaking, more Westernized and liberal in their outlook. Salafism and Islamism are both condemned by the Royal Government and by common-folk. Religion is seen as a personal choice in Morocco to a much higher degree than most places in the Arab World.

Only Allah knows what she in her heart.

90% of all Muslims are Sunni, while only 10% are Shina. However, Shina tend to be the extremists, and almost all Shina live in North Africa and Asia Minor.

the Sunni and Shiite are two main sects in Islam religion first as majority and latter as minority.

nai kar sakta per agar vo shaadi k pehle shia ho jaaye to ker skta hai.

Askia Mohammed, one of Sunni Ali, Baru's father' generals.

limited and controlled and even killed them.

He is a Pathan and there is no link to shia

Sunni Ali quickly established himself as the empire's most formidable military strategist . He ruled from 1464 to 1492. He took over Timbuktu multiple times.Sunni Ali stormed into Timbuktu and drove out the Berbers. He then began a campaign of conquest. He utilized Songhai's location along the river.

i don't find it offensive.if anyone asked me id answer its okay!

nd btw,shia arenot Muslims cause they don't believe in Muhammad PBUH!

I'm not sure of the exact time but, The fighting started almost immediately after the prophet Muhammad died.
They are not fighting. The basic beliefs of both are the same. They follow the same Prophet (SAW). Only the extremists sometimes somewhere create problems.

The largest Shiite communities are in Iran, Azerbaijan, southern Iraq, Bahrain, and northern Yemen. The Sunni communities are spread throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Europe, South Asia, and Indonesia. There are, of course, minorities of Sunni and Shiite Muslims throughout the world.

Fawad Khan is Shia

Shahrukh Khan is Sunni by religion. He follows the Islam culture really. Shunni and Shea are 2 kinds of groups in Islam.

Shia and Sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. Today there is up to 260 sects in Islam that are in two main categories of shia and sunni.

the conflict of shia and sunni has been always amplified by world Imperialism to prevent Islam from gaining power.

Shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.

Shia pray 5 times a day but usually do the 2, 3 and 4, 5 pray together and so may seem they do only 3 pray a day. there is some differences in details of pray like genuflect (for shia should be on a stone or part of earth and for sunni on carpet or floor ).

shia believe after death of prophet God selected the successive for prophet who is the political leader of Muslim community and people can not and does not the right to selected it.

Shia believes the Caliph (Representative of God in earth) is selected only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority" (Quran 2:30) or "O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth" (Quran 38:26) also other verses.

Shia believes such verses means only God can select an Islamic political leader (Caliph).

In Shia Islam Caliphs after prophet are 12 Imams and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (not absolute knowledge like knowledge of God) and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after even after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human Shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.

Shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph by people valid because God did not select him. They believe God ordered prophet to declare people that Ali is selected as successor of prophet and prophet did this mission many times during his prophet-hood and mainly in Ghadir event after last Hajj of his life at a 3-4 hour speech in front of 120,000 Muslims at Ghadir in hot desert after 2 days stop of long caravan for gathering and 3 days after speech for congratulations and homage of Muslims to Ali. Islam at that time had high power in world and Some companions had high interest in leadership position after prophet. Muslims knew that it is the final Hajj of prophet (predicted by prophet) and were going along with prophet to hear what prophet says at end of his life. Shia believes Ghadir event is the most important event of Islam and is mentioned in Koran in many verses like "Today" (اليوم) in verse 5:3 of Quran is the day of Ghadir. Or Verse 5:67 (O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith) is revealed at Ghadir day and is about declaring political leadership of Ali after prophet.

Both Sunni and Shia Muslims accept happening of Ghadir event But different interpret. Some Sunni writers tried to reject the event of Ghadir as declare of leadership of Ali and said at Ghadir prophet only wanted to say Ali is my friend and no one should bother him. Ali had 3 different missions to Yemen by prophet during 10 years and in 2 of them some companions of prophet had some conflicts with Ali and and prophet said some sayings about Ali to solve conflicts and some sunni writers have mixed stories of missions of Ali to Yemen with story of Ghadir to prove Ghadir event is not about Leadership of Ali and is not important.

Shia scholars believe some Sunni writers have changed and deviated historical evidences about political leadership of Ali in old historical books and republished them to destroy evidences of leadership of Ali from old Sunni books.

The famous Shia book Al-Ghadir (الغدير) by Allameh Amini is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Events written after referring to 100,000 Sunni books and full reading of 10,000 sunny books. Allameh Amini is a famous Shia scholar and spent 40 years of his life in travelling to access original old Sunni books in libraries in different countries to write this 20 volume book only from Sunni books and not using any Shia book. Some Sunni scholars tried to reply this book but then said if we want to reply this book we should first destroy all books of ourselves.

Shia doctrine have root in Karbala tragedy. When tragedy of Karbala happened most of Iranians understood there is two different kinds of Islam and after happening of Karbala tragedy most of Iranians became followers of "Ahl al-Bayt" and forgive their lives for them like what they did in Iranian Revolution and Iran-Iraq War. Shia Muslims have at least 120,000 Hadith (saying) from The Fourteen Infallibles that is the base of Shia Islam along with Quran. Shia believes according to " Hadith of the two weighty things" The Fourteen Infallibles are the only valid interpreters of Quran and sayings of them are from God because they are Representative of God in earth and they do not say anything from themselves. Shia believes 12th of them (Mahdi) is alive and because people have killed all 11 Imams before him, he is in hide like Jesus and will come out of hide toghether with Jesus when people become ready and want to accept his leadership. All 11 Imams have been killed and during their life thy all have been in prison or under hard control of government to not have any political action. They never had enough serious followers to can get political power. Among them only the sixth Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq was relatively free in his life to have only scientific activities (but banned from any political action) and so only he is known in west because he established university and had students from all over the world. Westerns know him as a polymath: an astronomer, alchemist, Imam, Islamic scholar, Islamic theologian, writer, philosopher, physician, physicist and scientist. He was also the teacher of the famous chemist, Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber), and of Abū Ḥanīfa, the founder of the Hanafi school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. He never wanted be a famous man and only shared his knowledge with who wanted to learn. Some researchers consider his teachings the root cause of renaissance.

Sunni Muslims also accept Mahdi and his worldwide leadership as Caliph of God in earth at end of world. There is a famous Hadith from prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Mahdi at hide is like sun behind cloud, he is hidden from people but people receive his benefits. Shia Muslims say some faithful believers have connection with Mahdi and use his knowledge. Shia Muslims believe that it is proved at least 1000 persons have had connection and talk with Mahdi during his hide period but Any one having relation with Mahdi keep it and does not declare it in public until is alive.
