Taking a Closer Look at Sunni Islam

The belief system of Sunni surrenders to Allah. They regard Allaah as creator, affair, and resurrection of the world. The word of Allaah is revealed to the messenger Muhammad of the Quran. They have five pillars; five prayers a day, zakat, fasting (during Ramadan), and welfare tax called Hajj. Sunni Muslims believe that after Muhammad's death, a qualified person qualified for this work should replace Muhammad's best friend.

Muslims have two major areas: Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Sunnis account for 75-90% of all Muslim population. Sunnis follow the Quran following Sunnah This is what the prophet Muhammad said. Regarding the legal problems that can not be found in either the Quran or the Hadith, it follows four Sunni madmen (ideological schools). They believe that the first four caliphs after the Prophet Muhammad are his legal successors. Shias are the second largest denomination of Muslims, 10-20%. The difference between them and Sennis is that they believe that the son-in-law of the Prophet Ali is his legal successor and that only his descendants can become imams. They pray mainly according to Yafari Madihab, pray three times a day, not five times. There are several other small Muslims that are focused on various aspects of Islam. For example, Ibadians were found in Oman and parts of East Africa. Since their schools were founded 20 years after the death of the prophets, they think they are earlier than Sunni and Shi'a Muslims.

Sunni Muslims have completely different perspectives on Imam. Imam is often a community's important spiritual prayer leader, but they are not considered invincible and will not be respected when dead as in the case of Shiite Muslims. In Sunni Muslims, there is little mysticism about how to treat the caliphate, but they are highly respected. Hadith is a collection of reports on Muhammad's teachings and life. The Qur'an takes precedence over the Hadith, but these texts are Islamic law, often used for resolution of disputes in particular. Shias and Sunnis sometimes admit or reject different hadeeths or explain the same hadeeth in various ways.

Sunni's name comes from the word "Sunnah", which means "traditional". This sect believes that they obey the true tradition of the Prophet Muhammad. Sunni Muslims practice Muslims as they lead them to interpret Islamic law. These explanations follow the four ideas of Hanafi, Malik, Shafi, Hanbari. These are based on the teachings of the four early Muslim scholars. Some Sunni Muslims believe that Islamic law should be based on only one of these interpretations, and that the choice of specific questions from each academic is accepted and intermingled Some believe.
