Peace Jafri

A madhab is not a sect to some people, please explain why you feel a madhab is a sect.

Peace aramis

What type of division? Come on this an easy question … please answer it.

How do we understand it when the Qur’an states “a group that enjoins good and forbids evil” ? If such a group existed and all divisions are wrong does that make it unnecessary or wrong to have such a group? Rather some people argue that only members of such a group are correct, but then which comes first the main body or the group? Also, by virtue of being a group it no longer is a group if everybody is part of it, it becomes the main body. So it seems that the Qur’an advocates the existent of a group of people for a certain set of duties. Let’s call it a team.

Can Islam not be viewed as an organisation in which there are teams working for a common goal?

Is it a sect that when the common goal becomes different or when you make new groups?

sorry ..did not get a chance to log in till now.
i will answer according to my knowledge and understanding. may Allah guide us to right path.
RIGHT PATH …if you change direction from it thats when we humans form sects… goal I GUESS is same…jannat. but we invent our own ways to get there and that is when we pick the wrong path. what is mubham in Quran we pick those issues to cause fitna…by WE i mean humans. inventing our own version. when there is hadith to tell us EVERY aspect of life and quran Allah’s own words why is it difficult to walk on the straight path???no sorry i do not agree that islam is an organization. islam has set all rules and laws ..

and all who claim to submit to Allah has to follow same set of rules laws and orders. muslims should be one unit not a set of groups.
