Re: The United Sects of Islam
Sects would always exist no matter which religon we are talking about, due to the fact that no matter how good we follow the basics, there would definately be differences among the scholars when it comes to in depth study of "minor details". That is why all the Imams who laid the basics of different sects do not criticize each other but declare them to be correct on the basis of the circumstances and their perspectives.
So, having sects is not bad but it is bad for one sect to criticize the other and show intolerance on the basis of prejudice for each others.
We can always unite if we remove prejudice from our heart, seek Allah's happiness by showing tolerance, patience, flexibility and respect whenever we come across a discussion on "Difference of opinion" among sects.
The above should be done no matter how much we are sure that "Only" our logics and reasoning is better than the rest. Because, on the day of judgement, it is NOT WE who would be giving the decison of who is right and who is wrong, but only ALLAH (swt)!!!
