Re: Differences between different schools of thought
The thing remains the mind that has been given to us is for a purpose. We have stopped questioning things and accept it as is (as per the orders of our respective molvi’s). All schools of thought have interpreted things in different ways. The basic concepts are the same, but the division in the country is so large that a person will go and pray in a mosque (of his own sect) which is 20 kms away instead of another which is maybe 1 km away. Reason being on the back of every one’s mind is that if I go there I’ll lose my iman, in hind sight every sect considers itself to be a muslim and the others as kafirs, murtids and biddatis. If we take into account the various fatwas of the sects for each other we will not find a single muslim in the country.
Our Mullahs have played a very bad role in all of this, in other countries there’s a broad division between Sunnis and Shias. Here in Pakistan we have further divisions like Barelvi, Deobandi, Wahhabi, Ahl e Hadith and so on.
