Sects?

Shams Zaman wrote: Dear Brother That is the result of dividing us amongst groups and sects. We don't know how to agree on the disagreements. However I do think and believe that some one is playing on us and we are following on his/their instructions blindly. A Muslim is not permitted to destroy anyone's shrine or Holy place. So if this is an act of some Muslim then I am afraid he has ceased to be a Muslim. Shams Zaman

Salam,

As long as we follow the person who teaches us something other than what Allah Subhana wa taala commands us in Quran, we will be keep fighting;

Every one of us says;

My Imam is better than yours!

My Sects is better than yours!

My Thoughts are better than yours!

My method and manners of religious rituals are better than yours!

My approach is better than yours!

In fact what we say to each other is;

**My Way or HighWay**

There are some groups that claim to be Muslim, but are not accepted as Muslim by most Muslims. For example, neither Sunni nor Shi'a Muslims accept Ahmedis as fellow Muslims. This is also true of other groups as well. An agnostic of Islamic background may refer to him/herself as a "cultural Muslim", but this is likewise unacceptable to most observant Muslims, but it is a common practice especially in secular Muslim countries like Turkey and other parts of the former Ottoman Empire. Some Sunni regard the Shi'a and the ʕAlaw� sects as non-Muslim. There have also been numerous instances in which some Sunni have declared other Sunni to be unbelievers, some Shi'a have declared other Shi'a the same, and so on.

The act of calling another a disbeliever is called takfir.

And we all like doing it.

May Allah bless us all,

ameen.

Alhamdulil'lahi Rabil Alameen,

Ameen.
