vroom Ji Allah SWT has the best and only label for us who we Muslims believe in AllahSWT and Allah SWT has called us all Muslims: more than a few time in our Holy Quran!

رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَا أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ

2:128 "Our Lord! make of us MUSLIMS, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

furthur more until the Holy Prophet PBH passed away, the different labels that you refer to were not adopted right?

Well did the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) tell us we were going to have a string of Divinely ordained Imams from his blood line? I think Prophet SAW telling people he loves his family and asking his followers to also love his family (he probably had some knowledge from Allah that his family was going to face murderous trials), is not the same thing as declaring the concept of Imaamat.

That’s a pretty important concept of a “spiritual leader” of the ENTIRE UMMAH. You’d think the Prophet SAW would have mentioned it or that the Quran would order us to look for that person.

Sounds like a Pope position, which I didn’t think Sunni Islam even agrees with. This doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate the Prophet’s family and their contributions to early muslim community and their knowledge and character. It just means they are not popes with ultimate religious authority over everyone else.
