Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
In countries like Iraq, there are number of marriages that have taken place between the two sects. But since mostly Shias are syed, hence it is recommended that a Syed girl shall not marry a nonSyed (and on the top of that a Sunni) male, also the Sunniu partner shall not be a Nasibi (so for a Shia, that means its hard to find a Sunni partner:D )
Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
As my Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) have said on his last haj khutba, i have completed my religion upon you, right
And shia's believe they came into existense after it so this way they are not muslims but overall they are muslims because they believe in one God and one prophet so they can be called muslims. And i think as far as i know you can even marry ahle kitaab.
Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
search the forums 
this topic has been discussed at least a million times…
this thread is gonna turn into a shia sunni fight shortly… do not ask such questions in future 
Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
for your kind information..in paakistan.many shia sunni mariages take place...and shia and sunnis live side by side without any fight and affence....and your pint that syed cannot marry a non-syed...fails when zaid bin harsa (ra) married to zainab(ra) and prophet (pbuh) 3 daughters married to non-syed like usman(ra) and husband of first daughter...
your so-called nrms..that that syeds are very "superior" to non syeds...i do not believe in such stupidities.....all muslims are equal....only taqwa give his or her better status..and this is only in allah's eye...not in society...but yes we should respect syeds...regardings...most of shias are "Psuedo syeds" and most of sunnis sufia are real syeds...all those people ...who shout hussain hussain on 9 and 10 of Muharram on streets claim to be "sayyid" ....LOL
Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
^it is in my view the same sort of cultural attitude that exists in other families like Cheemas marrying Cheemas and Orakzais marrying Orakzais. since Syeds trace back to the Prophet, there is the religious dimension added to a cultural trait.
Syeds have this great preference for "wajih ut tarafain" where both parents are Syeds, even though amongst the Imams they are supposed to follow only one Imam out of the 9 following Imams Hasan and Hussain (from where syeds start) were Syeds from both sides.
In other words 8 out of 9 Imams werent "syed" enough on the criteria of modern syed-shias.

According to majority of Sunni scholars, Isna Ashris are not Muslims.

ROFLMAO!!!!!
This gem from a chap who tried to prove that shiaism was based on judaism by deliberately posting half a sentence from a shia book!!!
Go get some education.
Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
Actually this time khanbabax made a concession by saying that “according to **majority **of sunni scholars, …”. Usually his posts are prefixed by “according to **unanimous **opinion of scholars, …” even on highly debatable and contentious issues. So, all in all, I think its a step forward for khanbabax to realize that there are many sides to an issue. :k:
To answer your question [EMAIL=“P@GL”]P@GL!, shia and sunnis definitely do get married (to each other). I have seen several such marriages. By the way, there are no rituals or ceremonies to convert you from sunni to shias etc; so its not like these are two different religions. It all depends on the person. Some people take the shia-sunni differences very seriously and will never contemplate marrying a person who is not the follower of their own faith. Many others will look at other things to make this decision.
On the issue of what are the differences. Concepts of Tawheed and Risalat of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are common. Shias have the concept of infallible imams, while sunnis (of ahl-e-sunnat wal’jammaa) do not have any such thing. The source of sharia based on ahadeeth also varies. In present day, shias have Ayatollahs who are the ultimate source of fatwas. Sunnis do not have any such thing, and pretty much many emminent scholars provide their opinions on various issues. There are differences on many other aspects too (how to pray salah, what time to open and close fast etc). Sunnis also have a bunch of different (and often conflicting) opinions on various issues. Some sunni groups are closer to shias on some topics like “waseela” etc, the others deem all such concepts as “biddat” (or innovation into islam). In summary, core concepts are mostly similar, but there are plenty of differences in other issues.

I think sunnis and shia marriage is possible , even lots of my friends married to shia and sunni girls, and they are living happily . the reason is no sect teaches us to curse Hazrat Mohammad PBUH and ALLAH we all are satisfied that there is only one God and Mohammad PBUH is his last prophet.
Its just like if you take example of Pakistan, No Body curse Quaideazam , but after that every one has different opinions on different political parties like PPP, Muslim League. But having a different opinion do not make them NON PAKISTANI's. They still are pakistan citizens. Same as SHIA and SUNNIS.

By the same token, no one identified themselves as sunni during the time of the Prophet. Does this mean that we sunnis aren't muslims either :-o
Re: Shia And Sunni Muslims
I am a SUnni girl and quite recently acme to know that my father is actually a wahabi and my husband that my father adores is a shia. One Allah, One Quran and One prophet and that makes a person a Muslim. Other than that ONLY Allah knows who is right and who is wrong. My husband is the ebst husband I could ask for and prays five times a day. Whatever u wanna call him, SHia or just a regular muslim, it's fine by me, he is definately a better person/Muslim than I am.

You calling yourself a sunni and then you are asking that you are not existed in the time of the prophet. Brother please think before you speak. Let me explain you.
Sunni word came from the word SUNNAH . The people who follow the sunnah of Hazrat Mohammad PBUH. We are the people Alhamudullila , who have always followed the sunnah, always did and will always do. To be classified from shias we started calling ourselves SUNNIS. We are the same people who were with the prophet PBUH in the time of hardship or happiness.

Dear sister ,
Its fine that your husband is a shia as long as you are happy with him and he dont force u to believe what he believes. He is a muslim according to me. But just keep in mind the saying of the prophet.
There will be 73 sects of islam after me and only one will go to heavens.
This tell us that not only you but every muslim should research about the islam and see what is wrong and what is not. By the way i am against Wahabis more than i oppose shias because of their concepts about YAZID (LANATULLAH) , killer of the nephew of PROPHET MOHAMMAD (PBUH) and the lord of the JANNAH SAyedna IMAM HUSSAIN (RA). The saviour of islam ...
