Shiite & Sunni Muslim Similarities

When the Muslim prophet Muhammad died, most Muslims believed that power should be transmitted through the elected leaders. A small group of people later referred to as Shias rejected these elected officials but chose to obey the descendants of Imam themselves or chosen by God to make the rifts of Sunni and Shiites. Even today, Sneis still occupies the majority of Muslims - about 85%. Centuries-old political conflicts during the second century provided information for the spiritual structure of the two sects, but Shiites and Sennis shared no doubt the basic beliefs and practices.

For Sunni and Shiites, Islam is considered to be the only true faith. Islam is not mere faith, it is way of life. This belief in true faith creates conditions for historical and contemporary struggle between Muslims and other faiths.

Sunni and Shia are purely monotheist; they believe there is only one god, God. Some Christian sects promoted their prophet Jesus Christ to the status of God and certainly regarded him a part of the Eucharist but Muslims were inspired by their Prophet Muhammad

Both sects accept the Holy Quran 's Bible or the Quran as Allah and the obvious will of his humanitarian plan. Both Sunni and Shi'a believe the Qur'an law (called Islamic law) will supersede secular law.

Sunni and Shi'a Muslims accept the five pillars of Islam and these five core behaviors are considered essential for faith. These are: that Allah is the only true God, one of his Prophets Muhammad, a daily prayer, a charity or a punishment, a fasting ceremony during the Holy Moon of the Muslims of Ramadan and a pilgrimage to Mecca Including announcement of

Both sects regard the depictions of human figures as idolatry and are considered as the sins of the Quran. In the art and architecture of the Sunni and Shiites sacred places, you will not find the representatives of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. Because we may expect to find artistic renderings of Krishna and Vishnu in Hindu temple. Sunni and Shiites decorate mosques using complex geometric patterns and Arabic books.

Sunni and Shiites are two subgroups of Muslims, as Catholics and Protestants are two groups within Christianity. The difference between Sunni and Shi'a is about 1400 years ago and goes back to the controversy over the leaders of the Muslim community after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632. The two groups have agreed to some of the fundamental principles of Islam, but there is a difference in faith and practice, in some cases Sunnis do not regard Shiites as Muslims. Most Muslim countries, except some countries, such as Iran (most Shi'a), Iraq and Lebanon (isolated) have more Sunnis than Shiites. In the United States, I believe that 55% are Sunnis and 16% are Shiites (others say that other groups are Muslims).

Muslims generally belong to Sunnis and Shiites. Sunnis believe that Muslim leaders died in the early days of a series of Caliphs, while Shi'a Muslims became mentors of Ali, the leader of Muhammad's cousin I believe that. The law and its descendants. Shias are often more ecstatic in religious practice and have the Savior's hope for the future Imam. Sufism is a complete Muslim abstinence movement, pointing directly to mysticism and personal experience with God.
