Re: Dividing Islam into Sects
The same kind of stuff can be expected from this lady who always uses her guess work without ever supporting her stories with some sound evidence (this is the second thread I saw the same)
Off course there were no differences among Sahabah till Khalifah 'Uthman radhiyAllahu was martyred by the Rebels.
And all the chaos was appeared during the period of Hadhrat 'Ali radhiyAllahu 'anhu, this was the time when shias appeared but even then they didn’t establish their faith as a new sect. It did take time.
I would ask this lady to first learn what the meaning of word **sect **is before spreading her golden words in this diamond world.
Now coming to the point, as everyone of us know that we our religion is based upon 3 sources:
- Quran
- Sunnah
- Ijma’ (agreement or consensus of Ummah)
Our problem is that most of us have left Quran and Ijma’ of Ummah and stuck to hadiths (hadees) and 'ulama.
Deobandis, Barelvis, Maturidis, Asharis, Hanafis, Salafis, lots of factions and they are ruled by 'Ulama.
A salafi scholar curses a Hanafi scholar and the Hanafi does the same with salafi.
Most of us are blindly following our scholars which means if I follow a Deobandi scholar, I will always think bad of another person who follows a Salafi scholar.
Therefore in my opinion, the only way we should get rid of these satanic deceptions, is to stop following scholars blindly and sticking to Quran only (which does guide to follow Sunnah and Ijma’ of Ummah).
