Asalaam O Alaikum IslamLearner, Thank you for sharing all these kind words. You are correct and there is no doubt that religion in the sight of God was always Islam (i.e. Submission to the Will of Allah). However intellectual dissension is part of human nature and Allah (swt) brings our attention towards it. Disagreements is part of human nature. The entire mankind cannot become exactly same. In other words everyone cannot be a a Muslim in the absolute sense of this word. �� And if Allah had so willed, He could surely have made you all one single community �� (Qur�ān, al-Māidah, 5:48) Also Allah (swt) does say in several places in the Quran that other nations such as Jews, Christians, Sabians and others have believers within them, those people have faith. They are not following Islam but Allah (swt) does bear witness to some of those nations as people having faith and has not termed all of them as disbelievers i.e. those who rejected faith. �VERILY, those who have attained to faith [i.e. Muslims], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians � all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous deeds � shall have their reward with their Lord-God; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve.� (Qur�ān, al-Baqarah, 2:62) Nevertheless that should not keep us i.e. Muslims to not continue the Dawah mission for we should continue doing Dawah by our actions and words as Allah (swt) has given us the job to bear witness to the truth after Rasool Allah (SallAllahu alaihi Wassallam). The final decision of their fate will be by Allah: �You (Muslims) are an excellent community evolved (by divine wisdom) for the sake of mankind, (provided that you) enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah. (Quran Al Imran 3:110) Some points to think. Similarly the Shia and Sunni split was a historical incident due to political factors of that time but it has left a permanent mark on this Ummah. Generations of Muslims have followed for several centuries each thought and its almost impossible to make them exactly one. Therefore as Muslims they need to focus on righteousness, good deeds, instead of focusing on each groups faults and wrong. They need to focus on these words ...Your are an excellent community ....enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah....' (Al Quran 3:110) Edited by syed_z - 02 December 2017 at 12:18pm |

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (the words of Paul in his letter to the Romans) I just feel the need to share this... when I saw that verse from the qur'an it rang familiar... and so often I have spoken with muslims who reject the Bible because they reject Paul of the Bible who brought the Word of God.... and yet here we see that the qur'an has used the very same words (in slightly different form) that Paul first brought to us. Peace and blessings, Caringheart |

You are right!.Also there have been a lot of myths and misconceptions about the whole affair.Initially Shia was started a s a political divide and by now it has become a spiritual divide (in terms of belief-at least among some sects of it unfortunately)
