Up to 90% of all Muslims follow the Sunni tradition, making it the largest branch of Islam. The name Sunni comes from the Arabic sunnah, meaning the custom or example of the prophet Muhammad. By the 10th century, Muslim theology was codified into the Sunni tradition. But even before that time, there were splinter groups, and the largest of these was the Shia tradition. "Shia" comes from the Arabic phrase shi'at 'Ali, which means the partisans of Ali. Ali was the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad, and Shias believe that he was the prophet's rightful successor. Ali ruled as the fourth caliph (leader) after Muhammad, but he was assassinated in 661. The matter of leadership evolved into the Shia institution of the Imamate, a spiritual leader followers considered chosen by God. Ali was the first of the 12 most important Imams, and Shias regularly visit the shrines of the Imams. Sunnis have Imams too, but these men are more like prayer leaders and scholars, and they don't hold the same religious or political authority as Shia imams. Shia also interpret some verses of the Quran (the holy book of Islam) differently than do Sunnis. Suffering and martyrdom are idealized more in Shia tradition than Sunni, and the sects hold varying views on divine justice and free will. Shia'ism has its own call to prayer, prayer forms, and ritual practices as well.

I was talking about the Zakirs ... They are the ones who stir trouble for both sides.. They swear and say bad things about the Sahab e Rasul and the Azwaj e Rasul who are our Mothers. The Saudi are the LOVERS of Yazeed and are Nasibi. Nasibi are the ones who dislike the Ahlul Baiet (as).. Aslato wasa lamo alaika ya Rasulullah wa ala alayaika Ya jad ul Hassan wal Hussain.. Jannat at the feet of Ahle Muhammad (saw-a)..

We do not pray to our Holy Prophet (saw-a) we praise them and send Darood and Salaam upon them. One of our great teachers have said without the love of the Ahle Muhammad (saw-a) all worship is Haraam.. Very strong words but great ones to remember. Jazak Allah ..

It looks like I am talking to a child !. Show some respect never say just "Fatima" say Bibi Pak Fatima (as). What sort of Shia are you ? Imam Ali (as) had 19 sons 4 of them were named after the first three Khalifahs no one forced Imam Ali (as) to name them. Come on accept the TRUTH can you name your children after bad people ? or after good people ?.. Why not praise the choice of Imam Ali (as) instead of disagreeing with the way of the blessed and pure Imam. You should name yours the same !

First of as you know that the most knowledgable person does not have to be the leader. Like I said they had Imam ALI (as) Bab ul Ilm on their side helping them so why should they worry about knowledge?. Read Islamic History the 12 Imams never wanted to be Khalifahs they rejected it Just as Imam Ali (as) rejected it for 3 days !. But was were persuaded by 5000 people. In Najul Balagha Imam Ali (as) show their dislike for worldly Khalafat. Imamate is Theirs.

inchallah i hope sunni like u follow ahlul bayt and put more importance to them all as and i understand the importance of khalifa but u cant go over the family like they never existed and pray to mohamad as

There was people fighting one and another to find their way a leader at that time some fitna occured then knowing Fatima was the only daughter of the prophet and wanted to erase the three and the hell ur saying lol he had 2 sons Imam Hassan as and imam Hussein as the (2 first)then zainab as Then Abbas as all in karbala except hassan as in saudi i guess.Imam Ali as never followed any fight that occred with the khalifa cuz he s not gonna help some who stole hes leadership duh

How ould u lead a population with no knowledge?,all those murderers were people who were following uthman and at the end for what reason one and the other fighting to rule the people gets stabbed and shia do not take that line as importance cuz we know imam Ali as did not kill him

Shia Zakirs who lack knowledge of the Shia books call Yazeed Kaffir they even go to the graves of Sunni Wali and read Majlis there they have a great way of making people cry after all they will say whatever to make more money. They are not worth following. Most of them are from poor backgrounds they learn stories by heart and then make plenty of money. Even if the stories are not true they do not care they leave that to the Mullahs. By the way most Zakirs do not know how to read the Holy Quran!

They did not need knowledge of their own when they had Imam Ali (as) as their wali (helper). They respected Imam Ali (as) Imam Ali (as) prayed behind them and supported them. After the murder of Hz Uthman (ra) Imam Ali (as) for three days did not enter Masjid e Nabwi reason being that the murderers were occupying it and Imam Ali(as) could not pray behind the Murderers of Hz Uthman(ra).Imam Ali(as) showed his dislike for them but Shia's make hero of them including the killer of Hz Umar (ra)..
