Muslims when your Allah is one and prophet Muhammad is one then why so many different sects in your religion?

Question

Some say there are 72 sects and some say 73 please tell me why when the Quran is the same for all

Answer 1

in a way this first answer is correct. There are sub groups in all religions. Same about Islam. Allah, Muhammad (PBUH) and Quran are the same for all. If someone does not believe in Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) then he is not one of us (this is not the true wording but similar statemtns are available in out literature) and this is actually the primary belief "La Ilaha Illal Laho Muhammad Dur Rasool Allah" (There is no God but Allah and Muhammad PBUH is His prophet). So if we believe in these two, we believe in the Quran automatically. Lastly there is a religious statement that there will be 72 sub groups of Muslims and only one will be following the religion correctly, we can only pray and hope that we are doing the right thing and it is our duty to do the best we can for and by religion. Peace, a Muslim

Answer 2

There are so many sects in Islam just as Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) said there will be. He has said that there will be 73 sects and all will be in the Hellfire except one. This is the one who follows his way, the Sunnah(Sunni). Of course there are people who differ and argue about religion. Some change things to fit their desire. Some add things. Some take out things. Some even twist things. When this is done, new sects are born. Yes Allaah is one. Yes Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is one. The Quran is complete. However, there are many sects.

Answer 3

First of all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ISLAM IS ISLAM>>>>>>>IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY SECTS...........................AND QURAN IS ONLY ONE QURAN.............
.
Second of all, about the sects,,,,,,,all are the same no big difference......For example, Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) prayed the daily prayer in many ways...........NOW DONT SAY WHY HE PRAYED DIFFERENTLY..............
What was the difference in the prayer.....difference in very simple things...like how to tie your hands,,,,how far should your feet be from each other..............That is how,,,some Muslim pray differently......BUT REMEMBER THIS DIFFERENCE IS NOT A BIG ONE.......YOUR PRAYER IS THE SAME..............
.
Again Quran is one Quran and Islam is one Islam.................No difference......
The only one are Shia and Sunni.....which also don't have big differences but today the media made it HUGE............In reality it is not......

Answer 4

1. Muslims Should be United
it is a fact that Muslims today, are divided amongst themselves. The tragedy is that such divisions are not endorsed by Islam at all. Islam believes in fostering unity amongst its followers.

The Glorious Qur’an says:
"And hold fast,
All together, by the rope
Which Allah (stretches out for you),
and be not divided among yourselves;"
[Al-Qur’an 3:103]

Which is the rope of Allah that is being referred to in this verse? It is the Glorious Qur’an. The Glorious Qur’an is the rope of Allah which all Muslims should hold fast together. There is double emphasis in this verse. Besides saying ‘hold fast all together’ it also says, ‘be not divided’.

Qur’an further says,
"Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger"
[Al-Qur’an 4:59]

All the Muslim should follow the Qur’an and authentic Ahadith and be not divided among themselves.

2. It is Prohibited to make sects and divisions in Islam

The Glorious Qur’an says:

"As for those who divide
Their religion and break up
Into sects, thou hast
No part in them in the least:
Their affair is with Allah:
He will in the end
Tell them the truth
Of all that they did."
[Al-Qur’an 6:159]

In this verse Allah (swt) says that one should disassociate oneself from those who divide their religion and break it up into sects.

But when one asks a Muslim, "who are you?", the common answer is either ‘I am a Sunni, or ‘I am a Shia’. Some call themselves Hanafi, or Shafi or Maliki or Humbali. Some say ‘I am a Deobandi’, while some others say ‘I am a Barelvi’.

3. Our Prophet was a Muslim

One may ask such Muslims, "Who was our beloved prophet (pbuh)? Was he a Hanafi or a Shafi, or a Humbali or a Maliki?" No! He was a Muslim, like all the other prophets and messengers of Allah before him.

It is mentioned in chapter 3 verse 52 of Al-Qur’an that Jesus (pbuh) was a Muslim.

Further, in chapter 3 verse 67, Al-Qur’an says that Ibrahim (pbuh) was not a Jew or a Christian but was a Muslim.

4. Qur’an says call yourselves Muslim

If anyone poses a Muslim the question who are you, he should say "I am a MUSLIM, not a Hanafi or a Shafi". Surah Fussilat chapter 41 verse 33 says
"Who is better in speech
Than one who calls (men)
To Allah, works righteousness,
And says, ‘I am of those
Who bow in Islam (Muslim)?’ "
[Al-Qur’an 41:33]

The Qur’an says "Say I am of those who bow in Islam". In other words, say, "I am a Muslim".

The Prophet (pbuh) dictated letters to non-Muslim kings and rulers inviting them to accept Islam. In these letters he mentioned the verse of the Qur’an from Surah Ali Imran chapter 3 verse 64:
Say ye: "Bear witness
That we (at least)
Are Muslims (bowing
To Allah’s Will)."
[Al-Qur’an 3:64]

5. Respect all the Great Scholars of Islam

We must respect all the great scholars of Islam, including the four Imaams, Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi, Imam Humbal and Imam Malik (may Allah be pleased with them all). They were great scholars and may Allah reward them for their research and hardwork. One can have no objection if someone agrees with the views and research of Imam Abu Hanifa or Imam Shafi, etc. But when posed a question, ‘who are you?’, the reply should only be ‘I am a Muslim’.

Some may argue by quoting the hadith of our beloved Prophet from Sunan Abu Dawood Hadith No. 4579. In this hadith the prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said, "My community will be split up into seventy-three sects."

This hadith reports that the prophet predicted the emergence of seventy-three sects. He did not say that Muslims should be active in dividing themselves into sects. The Glorious Qur’an commands us not to create sects. Those who follow the teachings of the Qur’an and Sahih Hadith, and do not create sects are the people who are on the true path.

According to Tirmidhi Hadith No. 171, the prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said, "My Ummah will be fragmented into seventy-three sects, and all of them will be in Hell fire except one sect." The companions asked Allah’s messenger which group that would be. Where upon he replied, "It is the one to which I and my companions belong."

The Glorious Qur’an mentions in several verses, "Obey Allah and obey His Messenger". A true Muslim should only follow the Glorious Qur’an and the Sahih Hadith. He can agree with the views of any scholar as long as they conform to the teachings of the Qur’an and Sahih Hadith. If such views go against the Word of Allah, or the Sunnah of His Prophet, then they carry no weight, regardless of how learned the scholar might be.

If only all Muslims read the Qur’an with understanding and adhere to Sahih Hadith, Inshallah most of these differences would be solved and we could be one united Muslim Ummah
