To be honest, the youtube Muslim community online has been very toxic lately, this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for making such a genuine and fair video. Inshallah, I hope this encourages more Muslims to follow in your footsteps of respectful dialogue.
Years ago I met an Iraqi brother who belongs to the Sunni school but hands out water to (mostly) Shi’i pilgrims walking between Najaf and Karbala. When I asked him about it, he smiled and said, “When you have love of Ahlulbayt in your heart, Sunni and Shi’a disappear.”
Hey can you tell me , which Hadiths are right according to Shia's Like , I'm surrounded by sunnis my whole life , I heard of thousands of hadiths and hundreds I remember to follow Now , how do I distinguish between what's right and wrong from a shia perspective.
@@Kenyakc if that is the case , Just find a scholar you believe is truthful and knowledgeable Follow them As long as you're not biased in who you follow Allah would not ask you about the Madhav you followed, Honestly, what I found is, Almost everything is similar except a few things Which is bound to happen since we're humans, we'll always have different views and principals. Well, that is my conclusion and I think Islam has always been the true religion from Allah And the sects that we find these days are nothing but different interpretation of a few things by different people And they might all have been truthful.
nice to see Ali Imran having the opportunity to give a starter explanation about Shia Islam to the viewers. Unfortunately there is much misinformation spread about Shias that time and time again can be proven to be untrue. I am glad to see Let the Quran Speak being open to a dialogue to help get the truth out about both sides of the matter.

@@atrociousnonsenseu can search about it on the internet but what I know we just compare it with the Quran if it makes sense or goes along with it we take it but if it contradicts the Quran we ignore it
Let the Qur'an Speak is such a treasure; there are very few people that try to reach out and have intra-religious conversations. I really appreciate you guys. May God reward your efforts manifold
As A Sunni I want to thank this brother for sharing his info. And the lady being so respectfull, mashAllah. I love imam Ali, cause he is very important in Islam. Yes we have some different view, but Iam happy to have this information. Khair inshAllah❤
Salam Alaykum, I would like to thank Let the Quran Speak for facilitating this conversation. Praying that it paves the pathway for more intellectual discourse between the two communities.
@@JeremyDavidsonTheMuslimRevert When someone corrects you, you should thank them. If you think they are wrong about what they corrected. Then give them evidence and tell them, I was correct (if you are) etc etc. Don't mock each other, that's not the way of communication prophet Muhammad SAW taught us muslims. It's good to correct each other's mistake, and should be encouraged not mocked.
Oh my God, what a beautiful, peaceful, and long waited interview. One cannot thank you enough for opening such a conversation... Please accept my heart felt gratitude for your thoughtfulness and kindness, trying to bridge this gap among Muslims. I always loved your channel but I now understand why...May Allah reward you, your father, and the rest of your family for trying to make all Muslims into one Ummah ❤️ 🙏 💐
This is by far the best interview you have made. Sunni and Shia we are all the same. We have both same belief its just "Islamic Politics" that has created a wall between us
We are not allowed to combine maghrib with any salah, and combining is only for travelling purposes but that has to be anything further than 80km. Salah doesn't work around your convenience, it doesn't work around your employment, it's the other way round. Alhumdullilah many of us are able to make it work because Islam is a way of life and everything has to fit in with our way of life. It should never be less than a priority.
As a sunni Muslim I enjoy this kind of openness and welcoming of Shia muslims .In fact i am ardent supporter of open dialogue from all faiths of the world. I'm hoping the program brings in more representatives from other faith, including even atheist as well, So we can learn from each other and coexist in peace
Lol. This Shiite is taking you for a ride. He's doing taqqiyah [deception] on you and you fell for it. The differences between Shi'a and Sunni are not "jurisprudential". They are rooted in fundamental creed [belief].
@@mylive_1 More false information, we put our forehead on the turbah (which is essentially soil) since the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa aalihi wasalam) used to put his head on the earth when making sajda as well as his family (alayhum salawat wasalam). We don’t take it as a God or an idol (adhubillah). We take Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’AAla) as the one true God, with Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wa aalihi wasalam) as his Messenger, and Ali (alayhi salam) as the wali of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’AAla). Please stop spreading false information, the term “muslim” means the one who submits his will ONLY to Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’AAla).
I'm an Iraqi brough-up Sunni. The sectarian tension in Iraq has torn my country apart and allowed for foreign intervention to take advantage of my country. I believe through open-minded discussions we can bridge the gap, and reconcile our sources and traditions. Both Sunnis and Shias have extremists, and both have misconceptions of one another. I believe as an Ummah we can no longer afford to have this divide, as corrupt leaders and clergy will continue to take advantage of us for their own interests at our own expense.
Ahsant brother, im a shia and i believe the only place discussion about our difference should remain STRICTLY in seminaries, and are discussed by learned men/women only
@@dilzzy360 We can have polite discussions, not polemic debates, among regular people, but reconciling our differences should be done between moderate and open-minded scholars. I'm really hopeful we can reach a middle ground.
@@salemmosley5833 absolutely, i completely condemn places like speakers corner where people who are not scholars come and debate eachother.... these debates are recorded and they create lot of fitna and misconception due to both or either one or the other party's ignorance
Even if we have differences between each other, we need more inner faith dialogue between Sunnis, Shias, etc. If we want to unite our Ummah, this is where it starts. Now we're quick to want to have an interfaith dialogue with Christians, Jews, and other faiths and there's nothing wrong with that. However, we should strive harder to have dialogues with other Muslims. Masha'Allah, great work!!
@@mylive_1 ok, I do not agree with everything that the Shias believe either. But answer these questions: Who do the Shias say is Allah SWT? Who do they say is the Messenger of Allah and the Last Prophet? What do they say are the 5 pillars and 6 beliefs of Al-Islam? If they answer the same thing that we answer, we are in no position to judge if they're real Muslims, or not.
@@mylive_1 again brother, ask them the questions that I advise you have them answer. They used the rocks to put their forehead on to make sajdah, not to worship.
This is soooo important. Being from a Sunni Tradition I made my MA at a shiite Institute. I was s amazed by the tolerance and accademia I never experienced in this methode in Sunni Institutes. We need to mingle and learn from each other.
Mashallah Dr. Safiyyah Ally is such an amazing host!! She seems so kind-hearted and in the interest of uniting the Muslims. 💖💖💖 This channel is so amazing 💖💖💖
@@mylive_1 We pray with our head ON the turbah, not in front of it. Sunni pray with their head ON the prayer mat, so you worship a prayer mat? Please inform yourself properly and stop the hate 😊 We are all Muslims, please stop the division 💗💗💗
@@mylive_1 you are doing good work in dividing the Umaah. I pray May Allah guide you. Allah is the judge and not us who are created beings ( not partners of Allah )
I am from a part of South India where there is almost no Shia Islam. I usually go to a Salafi Mosque where they normally despise and mention Shia Islam in a very poor manner. Once during Friday Sermon, it was mentioned Shia Islam was created as part of a Jewish conspiracy. (Hatred against all jews propagated is another matter to be discussed). I was taken back by the statement. I did my research and found differences exist (in rituals and practices few I may not agree with), but there is nothing of that sort it being a conspiracy. The fact that the Ahl al-Bayt - Hassan, Hussian and their families were brutally murdered by the forefathers of Salafi-Wahabis is always hidden on purpose by the wahhabi propaganda. Also found the Salafi-Wahhabism is funded by Saudi money in India which propagates hatred against other sects of Islam which itself is un-islamic.
What I don't understand about Shiism is that if it is legit then we should have a steady stream of writings dating back to Ali and back and forth dialogue between Sunni and Shia perspectives. But by this teacher's own admission, this sort of dialogue doesn't occur till the 4th century of Islam. It looks to me that the Ummayads introduced Muhammad to provide context for the inscrutable Quran. Then the Abbasids elevated Ali and wrote hadith about him to discredit the Umayyads. Next, the Fatimids elevated Ali even further to discredit the Abbasids and wrote their own hadith. No earlier Shia dialogue because they didn't even exist till the 4th century of Islam, after al Bukhari and all the Sunni hadith were composed.
Imam Jalaluddin suyuti a great sunni imam in his tafseer Al Durre Mathur has narrated "Ali and his shias will enter paradise along with him and will be the happiest on the day of judgement" Please read the books
@@peterhwang1860 You are right you don't understand. The Shia of Ali were known during the time of the Prophet. There are plenty of hadith even in sunni sources. I don't think any fair academic will deny this. Even sunni scholarship don't deny there was dispute over leadership. Who forbids the writing of hadith? You can't have it both ways whendunni Khalifah forbid writing of hadith when it would have been best time record but then say oh but there not much written sources earlier on. They forbid because they knew it would not look favourably on them taking power. Everyone understand those who run media control the narrative of the status quo. So remember who was in power they are hardly going to allow another narrative openly which goes against them ruling. What you don't seem to understand of Shia view is it doesn't matter if divine leadership hold political power or not. There doesn't need to be any debates especially when you would be persecuted for it. None of your argument makes sense because it is built on false premise that society then was like now. That there was freedom to debate. Also the word ahl sunnat jamah didn't exist and didn't come until far later. Unless like Shia which used in the time of the Prophet (sawa)
@@peterhwang1860 Also the claim Abbasid promoted the name of Ali is completely false. What did is claim leadership based on their relationship to the Prophet. Used sympathy for what happened at Karbala to Prophet family to gather support for false pretence of getting justice but then laid their own stake to leadership. They couldn't promote Ali right as it would show they were wrong to take power. If you knew about Islamic history you would know of the discussions of Abbasid Khalifahs disputing the right of Ali against the Imams of the Shia. One famous one I think was Ma'moon asked Imam Redha what is evidence of Imam Ali Khalifat he said sura Mubahila. It other words Abbasid had to deny his right to justify their rulership but they knew the truth.
@@Shia.Ahlulbayt If whoever is in power controls the narrative, then how come no hadith recorded from the Rashidun caliphate? Not anything from the Umayyad caliphate either. If there was vigorous debate between Shias and Sunnis from the beginning then why no literature to back this up either? It just doesn't add up.
This conversation is very special for our entire Muslim community because the shia scholar underscore on knowledge and non polemic way to understand each other because he rightly says that when we approach each other through polemical discussion we don't get any positive sence . I am a sunni Muslim and i love Shi'as
I enjoy Shia and Sunni both. During Ramadan Sunni do Taraweeh Shia do Duas Both do Iftar Both iftar are good May Allah swt correct all the affairs of the Muslims.
This show always raises the bar on excellence mashallah. Building bridges and forging understanding in the most relevant and sensible ways. This is a gem of a platform and it's a blessing to have such brilliant minds come together for the enlightenment of the collective.
Beautifully interview and responses from Ali. This is very simple and I like how you said we have to open up to each others section with a kind heart to engage and learn. I learnt alot about the Shia's and felt nothing but love for them. Its such a peaceful way of looking at it and we are all Muslims and Islam is our focus not the "political" sides.
Thanks Imran for making us see that we are one as Muslims even though we have minor differences. Our christian friends are struggling on the other hand, to maintain the same oneness in identity we have as Sunni and shia muslims
That's a big no no i'm afraid. The difference in the concept of Allah's oneness between the two sects are polar opposites, refer to their Islamic sources for an understanding
@@dononeeye9912 Friend, let's compare Muslims and Islam to Christians and Christianity: 1. All Muslims believe God, Allah is ONE. 2. All Muslims have One Original Divine book, Quran. Whereas, 30, 000 different Christian denominations have different beliefs and Bibles. For example: 1. Protestant's Bible has 66 books. 2. Catholic Bible: 73 books. 3. Ethiopian Orth: 84 books. 4. Greek Orth: 79 books. Some Christians believe Jesus is the son of God; others believe Jesus is God or part of Godhead,, while many others including Unitarians, Jehovah, and Mormons reject Trinity. such as
@@Astaqfirullah9 No, actually. All major Christian branches accept the exact same 27 books of the New Testament and agree on the major Greek texts, the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. The New Testament comprises the equivalent of your Quran, sirah, hadith, and tafsirs, so the consensus is greater than that which exists in the Muslim community.
@@peterhwang1860 Friend, you can lie, but you can't misinform readers. 👉All different Christian denominations have different Bibles. Each denomination doesn't accept other denomination's Bibles. 1.9 billion all over the world have same Quran as prophet's companions had. 🤣Hadith is NOT Quran.
Asalaamu Alaikum. This is wonderful. This is the way it was done in the past. Peaceful, respectful, no yelling, no lies, etc. Keep up the great work! Glad I researched into Shia Islam and Sunni Islam. It is obvious who is on the HAQ! Alhamdulillah!
What a great, civil discussion. Refreshing to hear! The enemies of islam have fanned sectarian flames to weaken us so they could dominate our lands and people. The work you are engaging with here- the work of unity- is Godly work that will help the ummah stay united and insha’Allah will bring you all closer to Allah 🤲🏼
I have studied Shia Islam but i felt that it badly needed revisiting and great deal of reforms in their beliefs and practices. Their particular beliefs are based on man made traditions, heresay and folklore and not based on Quran. As Muslims we all need to go back to Quran.
Prophet Muhammad said "I leave you my people 2 things. The Quran and my family. If you disregard one for the other, total chaos will be brought on you." We Shia followed his family as rightly so and practice the Quran. Don't know about you other "religion" 🤷🏽♂️
Let the quran speak is by far the best, most forward thinking muslims in the world.... may allah bless this sister and her father, allah bless you all for allowing peaceful dialogue and intellectual discussion on our differences... we have more in common but our difference require this kind of dialogue
Thanks to let the Quran speak for doing this, as a sunni Muslim I’ve seen Sunnis never allow dialogue between themselves and Shias and often thought that was absolutely wrong to do as we aren’t allowing themselves to explain or engage in conversation. We are assuming and forming opinions without knowing, unlike what our religion teaches. I was fortunate enough to come from a family that didn’t shun Shias and were pretty open to them so I knew to respect them from a young age. Unfortunately not many can say the same.
I am Shia Muslim from Iran, I love the way Shia approach to Islam. We love the children of Ali and we follow his teaching which was pure teaching of prophet Mohammed because he was brought up in prophet Mohammed household, who is better than him to describe the prophet daily life and his teaching ,also his daughter Fatemah who everyone believes she is one of four women in Jannat.
I have respect for my Shia brothers and sisters. But I just cannot reconcile that the prophet Muhammad pbuh was not aware that his closest companions were going to betray him. I think the focus should be Islam and what the prophet brought in his lifetime .. that is Islam. Whatever happened afterwards Allah knows best and Allah will be the judge.
The bigger question is that after 23 years of delivering the message, fighting wars for Islam, suffering so much hardship to deliver the message - the Prophet (pbuh) supposedly left the world without appointing an heir, successor, Khalifa to safeguard the religion and ummah... 🤔
The Complete & perfected islam did not instruct us to wear a taweez ( Amulet ) 🤔 Many muslims claim the taweez is permissible, because Allah says the Quran is a healing for the believers 🤔 As we know Ayatul kursi is recited for protection from the Jinn ( THIS I$ WHAT ALLAH MEANS BY THE QURAN IS A HEALING ) The same Quran also states honey is a healing ( AS EXPECTED WE D0 N0T SEE PE0PLE WITH A H0NEY JAR 🍯 HANGING FR0M THEIR NECKS 🤔 )
Salaam. Salute to both of them. This is Islam, whatever the difference one can explain in such a sophisticated way will really open doors for youth to come together in friendly and respectable way . Great
Lovely video. 👏 surely it’s a step to understanding and bridging the divides of the Muslims of the world through a more compassionate light that all come from a love for the Deen rather than ignorance.
I’m a Shia Muslim in Canada, originally from Somalia . The perfected religion Allah talks about in the Quran is the school thought of Ahlulbayt. I reached this conclusion after long research . The religion of Allah must not have any contradiction and must be most logical which has solid foundation that will supersede all falsehood. I recently named one of my sons Seyid Ali, I hope he becomes one of Imam Mahdi’s (af) helper’s in East Africa.
Very good effort to bring both important sides on same platform . I hope it will bridge the gap and increase much needed mutual respect and understanding between both sides inshallah. 😊
This is a wonderful and brave initiative, masha'allah. May Allah protect those involved in building bridges between Muslims from the negative response of some naive Muslims. I'm sure that evil forces in high places who have no love for Muslims will also not like such work to bear fruit. This should not disturb us, because we rely on the Highest Power.
Any one who believes in oneness of Allah and believe that Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the last messenger is a Muslim and either he is a sunni or Shia, he should respect the other s beliefs and should not hurt or offend the other or anyone else for that sake
When it comes to the 5 prayers daily, in which we can combine to 3 periods, he forgot to mention that verse where the Quran talks about praying in 3 periods, this will help.
Yes Ali even protested on why he wasn't recognized as the first successor of Prophet Muhammad(saw) but when he heard and understood the situation, that it would divide the Ummah, he then gave way and waited for his turn. And time proved that this division thing really happened when his turn came. Muslims even slaughtered each other during his reign as a khalifa. So his Muslim brothers that time, Abu bakr, Umar, Uthman and others were right. The point is, Shia today should also show respect like how Ali showed respect this decision. How can you claim to love Ali if you don't even respect his decision? Peace and Salam.
When Safiyyah brought up that the Shias say things about the companions and don't respect them, Ali did not deny this but said it wasn't all the sahabah that this applies to. I appreciate his honesty and I think we should all be free to worship as we please but it is fair to recognize that this is a significant difference between Shias and Sunnis and not just a minor detail.
Muawiya and the evil Ummayad Dynasty founded by Muawiya is the genesis of the Shia /Sunni conflict. Moulana Mawdudi (ra) has written extensively on the subject in his book خلافت و ملوكيت This informative work throws light on this contentious issue and has been translated into several languages.
@@zahidfareed3218 These rants have NO academic merits whatsoever. The Shia scholar, Yasir AL Habib, FADAK TV London, has adequately responded all these questions /objections in his book كتاب الفاحشة الوجه الاخر.. in detail with references.This groundbreaking work comprises 1200 pages. BTW, the unruly protests by our Deobandi /Barellwi molvies against the historical documentary "Lady of Heaven"have been counter-productive.
@@MM-rb6lu Your rant is irrelevent to my quiry So i repeat my question Where were shia before the martyrdom of caliph Uthman ... and after ,when Hassan ra made peace treaty with Muawiya ra ..??
@@zahidfareed3218 If you understand classical Quranic Arabic read Yasir AL Habib FADAK TV Londons 1200 page book كتاب الفاحشة الوجه الاخر for a detailed response to these questions.
@@MM-rb6lu Again irrelevent rant .. Before Muawiya ra..... before assasination of caliph Uthman , where were shia and what was their activity in ummah headed by Ali ra .?
I was once a Christian and upon coming to Islam I became shia and the determining factor was the appointment of Ali as the Imam and the following 11 Imams. Not once in my journey have I ever read that Allah has let the community pick their leaders He has Always appointed whom He wills so why would it be any different with Islam
ISLAM is like a diamant. There is One Islam in the end, but every direction reflects one aspect of the richness of ISLAM, so let us unite and start a dialogue; starting with what binds us muslims. Together we muslims will be stronger and be able to accept that our differences will be explained at Youm MDien. External polical forces will try very hard to divide us Muslims: Let us stay as one together as in prayer!
Syed Ali Imran mentioned tensions started in the 17th century. In India, Shias were brutally persecuted by Sunni forces in the 16th century (especially Kashmir) and it continued for hundreds of years. But it starts much earlier, in the 14th century, and this is within India. Shia refugees were coming into India from outside too starting before. Persecution of Shias was rife in the Middle East and Afghanistan. I don't know why Syed sets this topic so late in history.
This was a great introductory video and provided space for the voice of Shi'ism in the space of dialogue. It was slightly unfortunate however that the discussion on Shi'ism here fell into the same pitfall as conversations about "Islam" (usually meaning "Sunni" Islam) as it was only used to refer to the largest branch of Shi'ism, namely "Twelver" or "Ithna'ashari" Shi'ism and entirely omitted mention of the 2nd and 3rd largest Shi'i communities, namely the Ismaili and Zaydi Shia. Even if the perspective and conversation remained as it was, it would have been better to mention the diversity in Shi'ism and then more accurate to highlight that this video would be from the Twelver Shi'i perspective. A good video nonetheless that will help to build bridges.
@@Irfan--Khan Wallahi brother I love you for the sake of Allah. I include Iran also because they make the Shahada. La Illaha il lallah, Muhammad Rasool Allah. They read the same Quran, they pray the five obligatory prayers, they fast Ramadan, and they do Hajj and Umrah. Some of the extra things they do I don't agree with like requesting help through Ali or Hassan or Hussein instead of directly to Allah. Or making pilgrimages to places other than Mecca and Medina. But let's leave the judging to Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. They support Palestine 100% and will never, ever recognize the illegal Zionist entity occupying Palestine, Masjid AL AQSA, and Al Quds, holy to two billion Muslims. And Allah knows best.
Thank you very much for what you do, jazakumullah khair, may allah give you barakah, I've heard about random opening of the Quran, I would like to share a personal experience and I bear Allah witness for it, I have recently had doubts about sunah and shiaat. I kept thinking what if I have been wrong all these years. I just did not want to be from the "zaallin", those who do not seek the truth and make an excuse that they didn't know. I took the advice on random opening of the Quran for it, I recommend you do so as well. After all it is an important matter and who better to ask than Allah the all knowing.
This is enlightening, ma sha Allah. What I have learned about the Shi'i is that they don't accept prophet Muhammad, now you just made me realize that that is not true. I would appreciate to know how Ali was divinely appointed as the leader. Besides, leadership should not be a thing that will lead to creating a new sect, I'm sure the issue must have been resolved in their life time.
I some times fear for my shia brothers to commit the grave mistake of christians by saying ali is son of god subhanalah because they only love ali R A like he is more than human being and all the other companions are inferior to him.
بعد أن قضى أبو بكر على الردّة التي حدثت في القبائل العربية بعد موت الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام، بقيت تلك القبائل تتحين الفرص للتمرد حتى تمكنوا مرة أخرى من جمع صفوفهم واستطاعوا أن يقتلوا عثمان بن عفّان رضي الله عنه وأن يستولوا على الحكم، وقد أعطاهم علي الشرعية حين قبل ببيعتهم، ثمّ قالوا بعد ذلك إنّ عليا هو الخليفة الشرعي، وأنّ الرسول قد نصّ عليه صراحة دون سواه، وعلى هذا القول تصبح طاعة علي من طاعة الرسول، وطاعة الرسول من طاعة الله، وبالتالي تصبح طاعة علي من طاعة الله أيضا، ولمّا كان التعيين بالخلافة إلهيا فإنّ عليا يكون بذلك معصوما وجوبا عن الكبائر والصغائر مثل الأنبياء، والنتيجة الحتمية لهذه المقدّمات هي انتفاء ختم النبوّة والرسالة، وانتفاء اكتمال الدين، واستمرار النصوص التشريعية بعد موت الرسول وبعد انقطاع الوحي، وقد ذهب بعضهم أبعد من ذلك حين قالوا، إن عليا هو الله. ولمّا أنكر الصحابة هذا التعيين، وقالوا إنّما ترك الرسولُ الأمرَ شورى بين المسلمين، كفّروا بهذا الإنكار كلّ الصحابة، وقالوا ارتدّوا عن الإسلام بجحدهم النصّ، إلاّ عدد قليل لم يتجاوز العشرة، ثمّ إنّ خلو القرآن ممّا يثبت دعواهم في النصّ على إمامة علي جرّهم أيضا إلى القول بتحريف القرآن الكريم. كل الشيعة اليوم مجمعون على تحريف القرآن الكريم. لهذا نقول لا يوجد إسلام شيعي أو إسلام سنّي هناك إسلام واحد فقط وهو ما كان عليه رسول الله وصحابته، ويوجد شرك بالله العظيم الذي هو عليه الشيعة اليوم
There has to be more dialogue between shia and suni also muslims in generals and christians & jews. Also the way he explains shia it sounds more adapt for western living modern society.
Sunnis are reliant on Saudi scholars, hadith and fatwas. Shias are the same, but from Iranian scholars and their own kufi hadith. Neither are correct. It is Quran only that is correct.
Assalamu alaikum... brother spoke about Shia believing Ali being a relative, should have been the first caliph... but do they forget that Abu Bakr was also a very close relative, the father of Muhammad's wife Aisha... very worthy family relative took the position of the first caliph.
I am really impressed by this young Shia scholar. He very clearly explained how the Suuni's and Shia differs. I am not a Shia but I do agree with him all the way. There is no major difference in our creed. Many many major luminaries of Sunni Islam were students of Imam Jeffer us Sadiq. Politics as mentioned by Syed Ali played a big part in widening the differences .. the Ottomansand the Safavids..still today is there. Look at Iran and Saudi Arabia.
I think the ali there is the family of muhammad.. like in tahayat, wa alaa ali muhammad.. the family of muhammad.. wa alaa ali ibrahim. And family of ibrahim.. correact me if im wrong
8:00 Please give Qur'anic reference to this divine appointment of Ali RA. Because anything that Allah swt says is mentioned on the Qur'an. (Lemme tell you... you won't find any verse in the Qur'an referring to Ali RA as the successor after the Prophet SAWS..)
9:20 he just side stepped the question of cursing the companions. Most senior companions not to mention the wives of Prophet (Pbuh) are treated with utmost disrespect and ritually slandered by this sect. You really need all the “supplication” tradition after all the slandering you do against those closest to the Prophet (PBUH).
I thought exactly the same thing. If it were just about succession, we wouldn't be where we are today. I can accept and respect that Ali ra is seen as a legitimate successor, but I will never accept that the closest companions, whom Allah himself praises, are cursed and denigrated by someone. Very hypocritical.
Indirectly Shias Follow Ali (As) as a nabi astagfirullah.Because he said Imam Ali As taught duas. What about Muhammad (SAW) from whom Ali(AS) learned all Sunnahs
Assalamo alaykom, I think you misinterpreted what he said. The same way you can write a dua you could come up with a dua yourself, Imam Ali (asws) also composed duas himself and we read some of these due to their beauty and eloquence. There is no doubt that Imam Ali (asws) learned the complete sunnah from his master, Muhammad Rasoul Allah (SAWW).
It is not a matter of Dividing Muslims my dear, It is about getting the Muslims in the right path to Allah When prying we all ask Allah to guide us to the Straight path Well Between any two given points one can only draw ONE LINE and the same goes for our path to Allah in Islam .The Only Straight Path in Islam is Shia path , nothing else will be accepted! And as Muslims we must guide our brothers out of ignorance!
@@aliagha1221 yes it is division. At the time of Mohammed (pbuh), we didn’t have Shia or Sunni. Look at what’s going on around the world today. The whole world is bashing us and here you are saying stuff like that. When was the last time you did a good deed ? We Muslims are very quick at criticizing among ourselves. If we don’t unite and put our differences aside, today is my turn to get bas, and tomorrow will be yours.
My dear, Yes at the time of our beloved Prophet we had only Muslims and even then those who followed his Sunnah given to him by Allah the way Ali Ibn Abitalib was following him were called Shia of Ali ,meaning the followers of Ali My dear ,we dont just make up stories we have evidence hear read this in Sunni books with the page and the name of the book الشيعة لقب لقوم كانوا قد ألفوا أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب - صلوات الله عليه - في حياة رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وعرفوا به ، مثل سلمان الفارسي ، وأبي ذر الغفاري ، والمقداد بن الأسود ، وعمار بن ياسر ، وكان يقال لهم شيعة علي ، وأصحاب علي. Shiah is the Word which was used to call those who were following Ali(AS) As their Leader Before & after the death of Rasulallah(SAWA) With given some of their names like Salmaan Farsi,Abi Zar Al Qaffari ,Al Miqdaad Ibn Al Aswad .Ammar Ibn Yasir كتاب الزينة : 259 تحقيق عبد اللّه سلوم السامرائي، نشأة الشيعة لعبد المنعم داود، ص 65، ط. بغداد 1968، الشيعة في مصر، لصالح الورداني المستبصر، ص 10. I will continue with more info next post @@abazism
Now,That was not division ,the prophet(SAWA) himself used to call those who perform his sunnah like Ali(AS) as his shia I have almost ten pages only on this subject Now! We do not mean to create divisions between his Ummah only like an older brother trying to teach his younger brother how to do things the right way, Yes if you see a Muslim brother doing something wrong,it is your DUTY to stop him or at least try to change his mind to go straight .This is not creating division it is actually trying to make a solid bond and unite the Ummah.Why should we have so many different sects of Islam when we only have ONE QURAN? Well think about this first then I will explain how did this happen next! @@abazism

That was actually made by the British shias...our sunni brother should know about the Cia supported sunni and mi6 shiasism....that film was made by mi6 just to make disunity among the umaah....plzz those are not real shias...specially the sherazi group...
@@najma4684 I doubt the movie was made to cause disunity. The movie showed what really happened after Muhammad died. It shows that sunni islam has holes in it.
@@haqq4260 but that was made with the intention to create disunity among the muslim ummah.....although I am a shia but I believe in the message of my supreme leader that sunnis and shias are two parts of one body....there's nothing like sunni islam or shia islam...just minute differences...those were wahabbis who entirely changed the image of islam....and this movie was produced by Yasir al Habib....they all are against Islamic revolution and are paid by the British government to do all these filthy things....Sadiq sherazi,Ammar naqkshwani,Yasir Habib, and their group...those a lot more joining...they have started shia voices halal tattoos and crazy things basically they are trying to change the entire religion and they are not from us....we don't have problem with the sunnis cuz it's Allah who will judge and punish people according to their deeds....
This is promoting that both sunni and shia aqueedah can be correct. I am of the Sunni understanding although I prefer to be called a "Muslim." According to my beliefs, we can't both be correct because only one way can be following the prophet(pbuh.) Are religion is from Allah and he chose the companions around our prophet to help preserve our Qur'an and Sunnah of Muhammad(Saws.) What we consider shirk and kufr, many shias don't. We are different and can't be both right.
What i did understand by this conversation that sunnis doesn't believe in what to do with politics but believe in Allah alone n what prophet saw sunnah but Shia believe in politics scenario n fighting for position but it really does matter as Allah is the greatest n he is to be worshipped thats it n follow the sunnah

I believe as an Ummah we can no longer afford to have this divide, as corrupt leaders and clergy will continue to take advantage of us for their own interests at our own expense.

Even if we have differences between each other, we need more inner faith dialogue between Sunnis, Shias, etc. If we want to unite our Ummah, this is where it starts. Now we're quick to want to have an interfaith dialogue with Christians, Jews, and other faiths and there's nothing wrong with that. However, we should strive harder to have dialogues with other Muslims. Masha'Allah, great work!!
@@mylive_1 ok, I do not agree with everything that the Shias believe either. But answer these questions: Who do the Shias say is Allah SWT? Who do they say is the Messenger of Allah and the Last Prophet? What do they say are the 5 pillars and 6 beliefs of Al-Islam? If they answer the same thing that we answer, we are in no position to judge if they're real Muslims, or not.

This is so amazing! I'm a Muslim from Philippines. I don't see any Sunni or Shi'a. I only see "Muslims".
I am from a part of South India where there is almost no Shia Islam. I usually go to a Salafi Mosque where they normally despise and mention Shia Islam in a very poor manner. Once during Friday Sermon, it was mentioned Shia Islam was created as part of a Jewish conspiracy. (Hatred against all jews propagated is another matter to be discussed). I was taken back by the statement. I did my research and found differences exist (in rituals and practices few I may not agree with), but there is nothing of that sort it being a conspiracy. The fact that the Ahl al-Bayt - Hassan, Hussian and their families were brutally murdered by the forefathers of Salafi-Wahabis is always hidden on purpose by the wahhabi propaganda. Also found the Salafi-Wahhabism is funded by Saudi money in India which propagates hatred against other sects of Islam which itself is un-islamic.
I have wanted to learn about Shia for a long time and this is a wonderful stepping stone
What I don't understand about Shiism is that if it is legit then we should have a steady stream of writings dating back to Ali and back and forth dialogue between Sunni and Shia perspectives. But by this teacher's own admission, this sort of dialogue doesn't occur till the 4th century of Islam. It looks to me that the Ummayads introduced Muhammad to provide context for the inscrutable Quran. Then the Abbasids elevated Ali and wrote hadith about him to discredit the Umayyads. Next, the Fatimids elevated Ali even further to discredit the Abbasids and wrote their own hadith. No earlier Shia dialogue because they didn't even exist till the 4th century of Islam, after al Bukhari and all the Sunni hadith were composed.
Imam Jalaluddin suyuti a great sunni imam in his tafseer
Al Durre Mathur has narrated
"Ali and his shias will enter paradise along with him and will be the happiest on the day of judgement"
Please read the books
@@peterhwang1860 You are right you don't understand.
The Shia of Ali were known during the time of the Prophet. There are plenty of hadith even in sunni sources.
I don't think any fair academic will deny this.
Even sunni scholarship don't deny there was dispute over leadership.
Who forbids the writing of hadith?
You can't have it both ways whendunni Khalifah forbid writing of hadith when it would have been best time record but then say oh but there not much written sources earlier on. They forbid because they knew it would not look favourably on them taking power.
Everyone understand those who run media control the narrative of the status quo.
So remember who was in power they are hardly going to allow another narrative openly which goes against them ruling.
What you don't seem to understand of Shia view is it doesn't matter if divine leadership hold political power or not.
There doesn't need to be any debates especially when you would be persecuted for it.
None of your argument makes sense because it is built on false premise that society then was like now. That there was freedom to debate.
Also the word ahl sunnat jamah didn't exist and didn't come until far later. Unless like Shia which used in the time of the Prophet (sawa)
@@peterhwang1860 Also the claim Abbasid promoted the name of Ali is completely false. What did is claim leadership based on their relationship to the Prophet.
Used sympathy for what happened at Karbala to Prophet family to gather support for false pretence of getting justice but then laid their own stake to leadership.
They couldn't promote Ali right as it would show they were wrong to take power. If you knew about Islamic history you would know of the discussions of Abbasid Khalifahs disputing the right of Ali against the Imams of the Shia.
One famous one I think was Ma'moon asked Imam Redha what is evidence of Imam Ali Khalifat he said sura Mubahila.
It other words Abbasid had to deny his right to justify their rulership but they knew the truth.
@@Shia.Ahlulbayt If whoever is in power controls the narrative, then how come no hadith recorded from the Rashidun caliphate? Not anything from the Umayyad caliphate either. If there was vigorous debate between Shias and Sunnis from the beginning then why no literature to back this up either? It just doesn't add up.
This conversation is very special for our entire Muslim community because the shia scholar underscore on knowledge and non polemic way to understand each other because he rightly says that when we approach each other through polemical discussion we don't get any positive sence . I am a sunni Muslim and i love Shi'as
I enjoy Shia and Sunni both.

1. Protestant's Bible has 66 books.

The work you are engaging with here- the work of unity- is Godly work that will help the ummah stay united and insha’Allah will bring you all closer to Allah 🤲🏼
I have studied Shia Islam but i felt that it badly needed revisiting and great deal of reforms in their beliefs and practices.
Their particular beliefs are based on man made traditions, heresay and folklore and not based on Quran.
As Muslims we all need to go back to Quran.
You made rulers who killed prophet Muhammad family.
We took Deen from prophet Muhammad family not outsider's
Prophet Muhammad said "I leave you my people 2 things. The Quran and my family. If you disregard one for the other, total chaos will be brought on you." We Shia followed his family as rightly so and practice the Quran. Don't know about you other "religion" 🤷🏽♂️
Let the quran speak is by far the best, most forward thinking muslims in the world.... may allah bless this sister and her father, allah bless you all for allowing peaceful dialogue and intellectual discussion on our differences... we have more in common but our difference require this kind of dialogue
Thanks to let the Quran speak for doing this, as a sunni Muslim I’ve seen Sunnis never allow dialogue between themselves and Shias and often thought that was absolutely wrong to do as we aren’t allowing themselves to explain or engage in conversation. We are assuming and forming opinions without knowing, unlike what our religion teaches. I was fortunate enough to come from a family that didn’t shun Shias and were pretty open to them so I knew to respect them from a young age. Unfortunately not many can say the same.
The talk of this man gives a glimpse of wisdom.
We are all Muslim. We must Unite to be strong again. Our prophet pbu was not sunni or shiite. Thank you for this lovely interview
I am Shia Muslim from Iran, I love the way Shia approach to Islam. We love the children of Ali and we follow his teaching which was pure teaching of prophet Mohammed because he was brought up in prophet Mohammed household, who is better than him to describe the prophet daily life and his teaching ,also his daughter Fatemah who everyone believes she is one of four women in Jannat.

I have daughters and I have a wife. I can tell you now, my wide can tell you alot more about me then my children can.

I have respect for my Shia brothers and sisters. But I just cannot reconcile that the prophet Muhammad pbuh was not aware that his closest companions were going to betray him. I think the focus should be Islam and what the prophet brought in his lifetime .. that is Islam. Whatever happened afterwards Allah knows best and Allah will be the judge.
The bigger question is that after 23 years of delivering the message, fighting wars for Islam, suffering so much hardship to deliver the message - the Prophet (pbuh) supposedly left the world without appointing an heir, successor, Khalifa to safeguard the religion and ummah... 🤔
Abu Bakr did not want to be leader. The people forced it on him. He knew Ali was the correct leader.

It’s very important to have a dialogue 💚
Lovely video. 👏 surely it’s a step to understanding and bridging the divides of the Muslims of the world through a more compassionate light that all come from a love for the Deen rather than ignorance.
I’m a Shia Muslim in Canada, originally from Somalia . The perfected religion Allah talks about in the Quran is the school thought of Ahlulbayt. I reached this conclusion after long research . The religion of Allah must not have any contradiction and must be most logical which has solid foundation that will supersede all falsehood. I recently named one of my sons Seyid Ali, I hope he becomes one of Imam Mahdi’s (af) helper’s in East Africa.
This is the sort of exposure, mutual dialogue and respect that we need in order for us to grow as a Muslim community.
Alhumdulillah, this is so refreshing to see the Muslim ummah come together.
Very good effort to bring both important sides on same platform . I hope it will bridge the gap and increase much needed mutual respect and understanding between both sides inshallah. 😊
This is a wonderful and brave initiative, masha'allah. May Allah protect those involved in building bridges between Muslims from the negative response of some naive Muslims. I'm sure that evil forces in high places who have no love for Muslims will also not like such work to bear fruit. This should not disturb us, because we rely on the Highest Power.
Any one who believes in oneness of Allah and believe that Prophet Muhammad PBUH is the last messenger is a Muslim and either he is a sunni or Shia, he should respect the other s beliefs and should not hurt or offend the other or anyone else for that sake

When it comes to the 5 prayers daily, in which we can combine to 3 periods, he forgot to mention that verse where the Quran talks about praying in 3 periods, this will help.
where can i find this ayah?
Great discussion.. Thanks a lot!
First thing of all about being muslim “Muslims should not break into sects”
May Allah bless your effort my sister, keep on with good work!
Yes Ali even protested on why he wasn't recognized as the first successor of Prophet Muhammad(saw) but when he heard and understood the situation, that it would divide the Ummah, he then gave way and waited for his turn. And time proved that this division thing really happened when his turn came. Muslims even slaughtered each other during his reign as a khalifa.
So his Muslim brothers that time, Abu bakr, Umar, Uthman and others were right.
The point is, Shia today should also show respect like how Ali showed respect this decision. How can you claim to love Ali if you don't even respect his decision? Peace and Salam.
We need more interaction like this, thanks let the Quran speaks
When Safiyyah brought up that the Shias say things about the companions and don't respect them, Ali did not deny this but said it wasn't all the sahabah that this applies to. I appreciate his honesty and I think we should all be free to worship as we please but it is fair to recognize that this is a significant difference between Shias and Sunnis and not just a minor detail.

Well done that's how is supposed to be respectful
to each other we are created differently and having different opinions on everything.
I'm Muslim sunni been converted to Shia sect long time i appreciate the way sayed Ali approached and introduced Shia'sim.
Syed Ali Imran mentioned tensions started in the 17th century. In India, Shias were brutally persecuted by Sunni forces in the 16th century (especially Kashmir) and it continued for hundreds of years. But it starts much earlier, in the 14th century, and this is within India. Shia refugees were coming into India from outside too starting before. Persecution of Shias was rife in the Middle East and Afghanistan. I don't know why Syed sets this topic so late in history.
Thank you for bringing this up. I wasn’t aware of this. Can you share a couple of resources/books that speak more on this?
Most of the refugees coming to tge Indo Pak area were escaping the genocide of Sunnis in Safavid Iran
This was a great introductory video and provided space for the voice of Shi'ism in the space of dialogue.
It was slightly unfortunate however that the discussion on Shi'ism here fell into the same pitfall as conversations about "Islam" (usually meaning "Sunni" Islam) as it was only used to refer to the largest branch of Shi'ism, namely "Twelver" or "Ithna'ashari" Shi'ism and entirely omitted mention of the 2nd and 3rd largest Shi'i communities, namely the Ismaili and Zaydi Shia.
Even if the perspective and conversation remained as it was, it would have been better to mention the diversity in Shi'ism and then more accurate to highlight that this video would be from the Twelver Shi'i perspective.
A good video nonetheless that will help to build bridges.

But let's leave the judging to Allah,
Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
They support Palestine 100% and will never, ever recognize the illegal Zionist entity occupying Palestine, Masjid AL AQSA, and Al Quds, holy to two billion Muslims.
And Allah knows best.
Thank you very much for what you do, jazakumullah khair, may allah give you barakah, I've heard about random opening of the Quran, I would like to share a personal experience and I bear Allah witness for it, I have recently had doubts about sunah and shiaat. I kept thinking what if I have been wrong all these years. I just did not want to be from the "zaallin", those who do not seek the truth and make an excuse that they didn't know. I took the advice on random opening of the Quran for it, I recommend you do so as well. After all it is an important matter and who better to ask than Allah the all knowing.
This is enlightening, ma sha Allah. What I have learned about the Shi'i is that they don't accept prophet Muhammad, now you just made me realize that that is not true. I would appreciate to know how Ali was divinely appointed as the leader. Besides, leadership should not be a thing that will lead to creating a new sect, I'm sure the issue must have been resolved in their life time.

I some times fear for my shia brothers to commit the grave mistake of christians by saying ali is son of god subhanalah because they only love ali R A like he is more than human being and all the other companions are inferior to him.
بعد أن قضى أبو بكر على الردّة التي حدثت في القبائل العربية بعد موت الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام، بقيت تلك القبائل تتحين الفرص للتمرد حتى تمكنوا مرة أخرى من جمع صفوفهم واستطاعوا أن يقتلوا عثمان بن عفّان رضي الله عنه وأن يستولوا على الحكم، وقد أعطاهم علي الشرعية حين قبل ببيعتهم، ثمّ قالوا بعد ذلك إنّ عليا هو الخليفة الشرعي، وأنّ الرسول قد نصّ عليه صراحة دون سواه، وعلى هذا القول تصبح طاعة علي من طاعة الرسول، وطاعة الرسول من طاعة الله، وبالتالي تصبح طاعة علي من طاعة الله أيضا، ولمّا كان التعيين بالخلافة إلهيا فإنّ عليا يكون بذلك معصوما وجوبا عن الكبائر والصغائر مثل الأنبياء، والنتيجة الحتمية لهذه المقدّمات هي انتفاء ختم النبوّة والرسالة، وانتفاء اكتمال الدين، واستمرار النصوص التشريعية بعد موت الرسول وبعد انقطاع الوحي، وقد ذهب بعضهم أبعد من ذلك حين قالوا، إن عليا هو الله. ولمّا أنكر الصحابة هذا التعيين، وقالوا إنّما ترك الرسولُ الأمرَ شورى بين المسلمين، كفّروا بهذا الإنكار كلّ الصحابة، وقالوا ارتدّوا عن الإسلام بجحدهم النصّ، إلاّ عدد قليل لم يتجاوز العشرة، ثمّ إنّ خلو القرآن ممّا يثبت دعواهم في النصّ على إمامة علي جرّهم أيضا إلى القول بتحريف القرآن الكريم. كل الشيعة اليوم مجمعون على تحريف القرآن الكريم. لهذا نقول لا يوجد إسلام شيعي أو إسلام سنّي هناك إسلام واحد فقط وهو ما كان عليه رسول الله وصحابته، ويوجد شرك بالله العظيم الذي هو عليه الشيعة اليوم
There has to be more dialogue between shia and suni also muslims in generals and christians & jews. Also the way he explains shia it sounds more adapt for western living modern society.
Sunnis are reliant on Saudi scholars, hadith and fatwas.
Shias are the same, but from Iranian scholars and their own kufi hadith.
Neither are correct.
It is Quran only that is correct.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الأَعْظَمِ ، الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ أَجَبْتَ ، وَإِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهِ أَعْطَـيْتَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشُهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ ، الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ ، الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ، وَلَمْ يَولَدْ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ؛ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
رب اغفر لي خطيئتي يوم الدين
Assalamu alaikum... brother spoke about Shia believing Ali being a relative, should have been the first caliph... but do they forget that Abu Bakr was also a very close relative, the father of Muhammad's wife Aisha... very worthy family relative took the position of the first caliph.
A great effort from Let the Quean Speak. This is closing the gap between the sects.
I am really impressed by this young Shia scholar. He very clearly explained how the Suuni's and Shia differs. I am not a Shia but I do agree with him all the way. There is no major difference in our creed. Many many major luminaries of Sunni Islam were students of Imam Jeffer us Sadiq. Politics as mentioned by Syed Ali played a big part in widening the differences .. the Ottomansand the Safavids..still today is there. Look at Iran and Saudi Arabia.
I just wonder why when he mentioned the name of Rasulullah (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Salam) he only said Salla Allahu Alaihi Waali?
I think the ali there is the family of muhammad.. like in tahayat, wa alaa ali muhammad.. the family of muhammad.. wa alaa ali ibrahim. And family of ibrahim.. correact me if im wrong
Read the Genesis 17:20 about the 12 imams of shia Muslim ____
I hope you invite dr Ammar nakhshwani on your show , he is very good scholar of religion. Very good video , love it
Dr Shabbir Ally and this channel are very underrated..
I highly appreciate this type of discussion.... Incredible....
MashaAllah excellent program
8:00 Please give Qur'anic reference to this divine appointment of Ali RA. Because anything that Allah swt says is mentioned on the Qur'an. (Lemme tell you... you won't find any verse in the Qur'an referring to Ali RA as the successor after the Prophet SAWS..)
The finality of the prophet who???
bravo alhamdulillah let's unite the ummah.
9:20 he just side stepped the question of cursing the companions. Most senior companions not to mention the wives of Prophet (Pbuh) are treated with utmost disrespect and ritually slandered by this sect.
You really need all the “supplication” tradition after all the slandering you do against those closest to the Prophet (PBUH).
I thought exactly the same thing. If it were just about succession, we wouldn't be where we are today. I can accept and respect that Ali ra is seen as a legitimate successor, but I will never accept that the closest companions, whom Allah himself praises, are cursed and denigrated by someone. Very hypocritical.
Obviously the super smart god would have explained very clearly who should be the future leaders to avoid confusion, conflict and even bloodshed. 😊

Why we all Can't be Muslim only?
Great video. Bring more scholars from Shiite school of thought
They are a sect
Qur’an and Sunnah that’s all we need
Quran and Ahlul bayt is what we need
@@traxq5455 Quran AND SUNNAH 😎
@@sadikbroboniqi6744 SAHIH MUSLIM SAID QURAN AND AHLUL BAYT YOU DOG
I love how the Sunnis say "sunnah" every time yet they don't know what it means exactly 😂
Indirectly Shias Follow Ali (As) as a nabi astagfirullah.Because he said Imam Ali As taught duas.
What about Muhammad (SAW) from whom Ali(AS) learned all Sunnahs
Assalamo alaykom, I think you misinterpreted what he said. The same way you can write a dua you could come up with a dua yourself, Imam Ali (asws) also composed duas himself and we read some of these due to their beauty and eloquence. There is no doubt that Imam Ali (asws) learned the complete sunnah from his master, Muhammad Rasoul Allah (SAWW).
Let’s not divide ourselves. At the time of Mohammed (pbuh) there was no Shia or Sunni. Let’s not give other people chance to use this against us.
It is not a matter of Dividing Muslims my dear, It is about getting the Muslims in the right path to Allah
When prying we all ask Allah to guide us to the Straight path
Well Between any two given points one can only draw ONE LINE and the same goes for our path to Allah in Islam .The Only Straight Path in Islam is Shia path ,
nothing else will be accepted!
And as Muslims we must guide our brothers out of ignorance!
@@aliagha1221 yes it is division. At the time of Mohammed (pbuh), we didn’t have Shia or Sunni. Look at what’s going on around the world today. The whole world is bashing us and here you are saying stuff like that. When was the last time you did a good deed ? We Muslims are very quick at criticizing among ourselves. If we don’t unite and put our differences aside, today is my turn to get bas, and tomorrow will be yours.
My dear, Yes at the time of our beloved Prophet we had only Muslims and even then those who followed his Sunnah given to him by Allah the way Ali Ibn Abitalib was following him were called Shia of Ali ,meaning the followers of Ali
My dear ,we dont just make up stories we have evidence
hear read this in Sunni books with the page and the name of the book
الشيعة لقب لقوم كانوا قد ألفوا أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب - صلوات الله عليه - في حياة رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وعرفوا به ، مثل سلمان الفارسي ، وأبي ذر الغفاري ، والمقداد بن الأسود ، وعمار بن ياسر ، وكان يقال لهم شيعة علي ، وأصحاب علي.
Shiah is the Word which was used to call those who were following Ali(AS) As their Leader Before & after the death of Rasulallah(SAWA) With given some of their names like Salmaan Farsi,Abi Zar Al Qaffari ,Al Miqdaad Ibn Al Aswad .Ammar Ibn Yasir

Now,That was not division ,the prophet(SAWA) himself used to call those who perform his sunnah like Ali(AS) as his shia
I have almost ten pages only on this subject
Now! We do not mean to create divisions between his Ummah only like an older brother trying to teach his younger brother how to do things the right way, Yes if you see a Muslim brother doing something wrong,it is your DUTY to stop him or at least try to change his mind to go straight .This is not creating division it is actually trying to make a solid bond and unite the Ummah.Why should we have so many different sects of Islam when we only have ONE QURAN?
Well think about this first then I will explain how did this happen next!

S.MUSLIM BOOK 30 ;5690
'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (PBU) as saying; I shall be there at the Cistern before you, and I shall have to contend for some people, but I shall have to yield. I would be saying: My Lord, they are my friends, they are my friends, and it would be said: You don't know what innovations they made after you.
I wrote a whole page but could not find it to show you this Hadith
This is proof that After the Prophet(SAWA) those who took over his Islam they destroyed it

The movie "Lady of Heaven" is a Shia movie that was just banned in England yesterday
That was actually made by the British shias...our sunni brother should know about the Cia supported sunni and mi6 shiasism....that film was made by mi6 just to make disunity among the umaah....plzz those are not real shias...specially the sherazi group...
@@najma4684 I doubt the movie was made to cause disunity. The movie showed what really happened after Muhammad died. It shows that sunni islam has holes in it.
@@haqq4260 but that was made with the intention to create disunity among the muslim ummah.....although I am a shia but I believe in the message of my supreme leader that sunnis and shias are two parts of one body....there's nothing like sunni islam or shia islam...just minute differences...those were wahabbis who entirely changed the image of islam....and this movie was produced by Yasir al Habib....they all are against Islamic revolution and are paid by the British government to do all these filthy things....Sadiq sherazi,Ammar naqkshwani,Yasir Habib, and their group...those a lot more joining...they have started shia voices halal tattoos and crazy things basically they are trying to change the entire religion and they are not from us....we don't have problem with the sunnis cuz it's Allah who will judge and punish people according to their deeds....
I am sunni but I feel pain when a shia is suffer.
When any Muslim around the world suffers, we all suffer.
@@InZainGamer How about saying when any human around the world suffers, we all suffer?
What about Muslim pain aka Sunni pain.
This is promoting that both sunni and shia aqueedah can be correct. I am of the Sunni understanding although I prefer to be called a "Muslim." According to my beliefs, we can't both be correct because only one way can be following the prophet(pbuh.) Are religion is from Allah and he chose the companions around our prophet to help preserve our Qur'an and Sunnah of Muhammad(Saws.) What we consider shirk and kufr, many shias don't. We are different and can't be both right.
What i did understand by this conversation that sunnis doesn't believe in what to do with politics but believe in Allah alone n what prophet saw sunnah but Shia believe in politics scenario n fighting for position but it really does matter as Allah is the greatest n he is to be worshipped thats it n follow the sunnah
