Re: various ‘schools’ of thought in Islam

@Sa1eem

…Let me give you some (from many) differences between beliefs/aqeedahs of Sunnis, Deobandis and Wahabis from what I understand, as concisely as possible, without justifying or refuting any beliefs or sects. You can see how different they are from each other. …

Thank you. Finally, the answer I was looking for.

It seems (to a layperson) that the differences are over things we would never know until we die and then we cannot come back and tell others what happened! In that sense, I don’t think these differences can ever be resolved. But it also seems that these differences are more to do with our relationship with God and Prophet (PBUH) and not about our relationships with those around us. I suspect that a vast majority of people would inherit a belief system from their parents anyways.

Declaring people Kafir based on such issues seems extreme.

@psyah

… Sa1eem some of these issues are misunderstandings, falsehoods and wishful separators that do not exist or do exist without the level of importance you are giving them - it is a result of politicising difference and elitism …

Thank you.

As long as basic ideas are same, why not live and let live without bringing out pitchforks and going after each others’ throats?
