Re: Filling the great gap…
Alas even the blood of many millions throughout the ages cries out:
“let the matter be settled by the Quran”
But does anyone even sit down and talk… only to confront it seems.
I am a devout Sunni but i do not have a hatred for Shia. In fact as i have said what happened all those centuries ago should not be forgotten but we do need to heal the wounds, cant both sides come to terms?
I mean forget Sunni’s labelling Shia’s as backstabbers becuase that argument can swing both ways… also i see no wrong in Shia feeling hurt about some issues but surely theres no need to curse after centuries have passed.
I think honestly that there is a middle ground. Shia have proven they are more than loyal to the cause afterall they have overtaken Sunni’s in the staunch defence of Mulsim values. However Sunni’s also adhere to the basic tenets and ways of the Prophet and surely the Ahle Bayth is the one platform upon which i base my unity.
I am not going to deny that the Shia and Sunni’s are both wrong in the way they fight… but i will deny anyone who says that either party are wrong.
We share the same bloodline as it were let the love of the Ahle Bayth be the uniting factor between us.
The Sahaba are to be respected as well they are the fathers of both sides… i believe that of the 313 men who stood at Badr all are my spiritual fathers, and are the founders of both Shai and Sunni faith.
However remmber by the time of Uhad battle 1000 soldiers were left to 300 by a few treacherous and false fiends… it is those few who ruined the faith not the people that came afterwards.
Our Sunni and Shai divide is getting greater but what unites us is far greater.
Let the love of those who love Rasoolallah and the Ahle bayt and the Sahaba live together forever.
Where the Sahaba were divided do not pick sides… do not rate one above another they were all lovers of rasoolallah let not that division come between you dear brothers.
I am crying blood everytime i see Muslim kill Muslim. After the battle of Basra Imam Ali sher e khuda wept, let not those tears be shed in vain.
Long before any leader in the west would think of such a gesture Imam Ali forbid his troops from celebrating the victory and ordered three days of mourning…
By all means Brothers argue if you must but don’t let your pride or your hate ruin both our hearts… we have no more blood left to pump.
Is it not a tragedy as great as Karbala that after 1400 years we still bicker… I see no point in it.
If i could give my life for unity between both sides i would give it gladly. I believe those who divided us were few and those who love us many. Let the voice of peace compassion and love flow forth.
Note i do not quote Hadith or Koran in this matter becuase not only am i a merely layman but i also see no reason in consulting our learned books while we fight like animals.
Everytime i hear a sunni or shia abuse one another my heart weeps… as if we Muslims are not being torn assunder from outside we do not need to implode.
Peace brothers.
