Answer 1

Most people know that Muhammad was deceived by a devil, not enlightened by an angel.

Answer 2

The manner of salaat is not in the hadiths, either. Its why they make these differences. Hadiths say opposite things. Some go one way, keeping the hadith, others go opposite, keeping the opposite hadiths. So, everyone does this.

Rejoicing with what is with their own group, and creating divisions in religion. Allah prohibited this strongly in Al Qur'an.

The sunnah is in Al Qur'an and so is the prayer in as much detail as we need ot be worried about. Allah says pray standing or sitting or lying on your side; Celebrate His Praises before sunrise and before sunset and as the sun declines. Also, He gave MUCH about night time prayer.

The point is always call on Allah in humility and gratitude. He isn't concerned about whether you raise hands at this rak'a or when standing or whether you rock back and forth or wriggle your finger.

In salat, we're going to Him with our wrongs on us. Correcting it is what matters. Whatever madhab you pray in, is just doesn't matter.

Hope it helps. After eight years studying, this is the truest information about this that I've been able to learn.

Answer 3

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

   1.

      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".

   2.

      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 h**l 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

now look

some things outta these books pple say they are corrupt and other they say that they are not corrupt so if something in it is corrupt it is all corrupt!  u know what i mean

nobody really knows

Answer 5

Well, I will answer to the best of my knowledge. The way we prayed are basically referred to the sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The companions (sahabah) will narrate on what they saw of his actions. The different narrations of his sahabah results as different ways in how we perform our prayer and other things. But keep in mind the basic actions in solah or prayer itself never change regardless of whether you are sunni or shiah. For example, standing up, bowing and postration and sitting are all done by all Muslims regardless of their sects. It's universal and standard. As far as sects, refer to the prophet's hadith where he said, the jews  has 71 sects, the christians has 72 sects and the Muslims will have 73 sects.  "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 h**l 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". As far as the sunnah, we should follow all the sunnah to the best of our ability, we should not pick and choose. 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]

Therefore, I myself only identify myself as Muslim, not sunni Muslim. Allah knows best (Wallahualam)  

Answer 6

Sunni Muslim scholars have LONG concluded that minor variations between different schools of thought are EQUALLY acceptable.

Islam has no "casts."

EDIT: Salat is based on Sunnah, what one generation passed on to the next. The method of praying is not mentioned in Quran but all ritual prayers, tahajjud prayers and the Friday prayers are directly or indirectly mentioned in Quran.
