Answer 1

yawn. I really have to get this headlamp panel design finished by this morning bro. what colour should I choose? white with blue stripes or black with red stripes? I think black with red would look good but the Australian Design Rules and DOTARS won't allow black on headlight panels. damn! back to square one.

Answer 2

yes yes and yes, sunnis and shias are somehow killing each other.
one god one holy book.
quran is words from god describing history, supporting islam during wars, and advising us how to fight in case of attack on islam or muslims or muslim countries.
that should explain why there are many verses concerning war.
and god knew the wars to come thats why he described how to fight in the future.

back to the shias and sunnis, just like mormons, catholics, javhoas witeness etc, there will always be someone mis-interprets religion and certainly will find someone who follows him.
but the true thing is what ? sunni
why ? because muhammad pbuh said himself anything that i didnt say or didnt do is not from me, and he also knew that people will diverse, its writted in quraan too, people will mis understand and mis interpret, but he warned us and thats why his life style was recorded, his sayings was recorded, and even how he prayed, because also said, I am The Last prophet, I am the last one to come and i have the Last message to humans.

1 thing more, quraan also described the split that will happen as a sort of punishment to muslims themselves for not keeping true islam, god is active and acts on everything little thing that you do either by reward or punishment.

peace
muslim

Answer 3

tell me why the Irish kills each other even though they are all Christians except from different sects (Protestants and Catholics)? the same happens for these Sunnis and Syiahs.

as a muslim, i feel sorry for those Sunnis and Syiahs that kills each other. even though i am member of Sunnah wal Jamaa, i never heard about any words of killing Syiahs as our duty. killing another life is not the way. Islam is not spread through violence and war!

Answer 4

it has been caused not by muslims, but by someone else to break our unity, after all as long as we were united, we had our islamic-state, our power but then our enemies had to find a way to destroy us, so they made up sunni and shia, by the way, if u didnt know, sunnies and shias used to live together before america invaded iraq, and they still do in pakistan and many other muslim countries

Answer 5

Sunni

The Sunni are the largest group in Islam. In Arabic, as-Sunnah literally means principle or path. Sunnis and Shi'a believe that Muhammad is a perfect example to follow, and that they must imitate the words and acts of Muhammad as accurately as possible. Because of this reason, the sunnah, the practices which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) established in the community, are described are a main pillar of Sunni doctrine, with the place of hadith having been argued by scholars as part of the sunnah.

Sunnis recognize four major legal traditions (madhhabs): Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanafi, and Hanbali. All four accept the validity of the others and Muslims choose any one that he/she finds agreeable to his/her ideas. There are also several orthodox theological or philosophical traditions (kalam).

Shi'a

Shi'a Muslims, the second-largest branch, differ from the Sunni in rejecting the authority of the first three caliphs. They honor different accounts of Muhammad (hadith) and have their own legal traditions. Shi'a scholars have a larger authority than Sunni scholars and have greater room for interpretation. The concept of Imamah (leadership) plays a central role in Shi'a doctrine. Shi'a Muslims hold that leadership should not be passed down through a system such as the caliphate, but rather, descendants of Muhammad should be given this right as Imams.

The Sunni-Shi'a split in Islam

The Sunni-Shi'a split in Islam started with the prophet Muhammad's death 632, which was followed by a dispute over who was to lead the Muslim community, and how the leader was to be chosen. Although Prophet Muhammad had said several times, most notably in a famous speech delivered at his last pilgrimage, that Ali was to succeed him as leader of the Muslim community. A gathering of Muslims at Saqifah gave their allegiance to Abu Bakr, as the first caliph after they felt his old age would be a wiser choice to the young Ali. Sunnis also claim that prophet himself chose Abubakr becaue AbuBakr used to lead prayers in prophet's mosque in the last few days of prophet's life. Sunni Muslims accept Abu Bakr as a righteous and rightful caliph. Shi'a Muslims believe that the prophet had appointed his son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor and that in following Abu Bakr, the Sunni Muslims had strayed from the true path. For further discussion of this contentious matter, see Succession to Muhammad.

Later, some thirty years after Muhammad's death, the Islamic community plunged into the First Islamic civil war. This civil war led to the emergence of three distinct Islamic groups:

Sunnis - Sunnis regard the first four caliphs (Abu Bakr, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman, and Ali) as Rightly Guided Caliphs, that is, caliphs who ruled in accordance with the Qur'an and the sunnah, or way of Muhammad and Sunni reject the Shia Imams. Sunnis believe that most of the succeeding caliphs failed to live up to these standards. In spite of these failures on the part of the secular leadership, the Sunni clergy (the ulema) counseled believers to submit to the authorities; this was better than constant community strife. The full name of the Sunni branch is Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama'ah.

Shi'a - Shi'a regard Imam Ali as the first Imam and generally reject the first three caliphs, believing that his was the only "Rightly Guided" caliphate, and that only the Imams of the household and descendants of Muhammad have the right to rule. Shi'as and a handful of Sunni scholars accepted Hasan ibn Ali's claim as caliph, though historical consensus states that Hasan ruled for six months. The extreme Sunni Salafis, do not accept the Shi'a as Muslims and some, such as al Qaeda, even permit their killing.

The split between these two sects is more about power than religion.

It's no different from Christianity wherein Catholics waged war with Protestants and Anglicans in England or some other religious sect.

Peace.

God is just pretend. My girlfriend is a Muslim, but she's a peace-nik who doesn't think it's wrong to date an atheist.
