Wa alaikum as-sala wr wb,

Sister, you sound sincere in your quest for a better understanding of the different Islamic sects.  Its fine to read up, ask questions and educate yourself.  I think the more you do this the more you'll understand where their differences of opinions (in legal matters) arise from; but, it's really not worth arguing over. 

I think our #1 problem as Muslims is that we bicker among each other way too much over just about anything.  Does it really matter what we call the wahabbis???  They're our brothers/sisters in Islam, why not just call them that?

As salaamu'alikum wr wb

Currently, i am having a debate in a forum where i say that wahabbis are sunnis but ppl over there say that they are not sunnis. they are a totally different sect. i dont believe this.. i live in UAE and i have seen wahabbis. they are just like myself. the only difference is they are a bit more ultra strict when it comes to music and thats something good ofcourse. i was told by these ppl on the forum that wahabis are not even strict with their sunnah prayers. please help me because i strongly believe that i am right. i need solid proofs to support my claim. I also know its wrong to use the term 'wahabi' but Allah knows that i did it only for the sake of clarity. my intention was not to discriminate between Muslims. One question that is raised is why did Mohammad ibn Abdul Wahab declare jihad against Muslims of those days? why did he rise against Ottoman Empire which belonged to Muslims? i was told by a frend that back in those days.. ppl had somewhat started grave worshipping and so he had to claim that they are polytheists. he even demolished tomb of a companion (r.a). this makes sense but isnt it that we cant declare war against our fellow muslims? isnt it that we have to make them understand in a more peaceful way?

kindly get back to me as soon as possible..

ma'salaama

As Salamu alaikum

We don't discriminate against other Muslims - but we do distinguish between those following the Sunnah and those who do not follow the Sunnah.

Brother Rami pointed out this is a Sunni based Forum meaning - We follow the Islamic Shariah according the Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam)

Salams
�Verily your Lord is quick in punishment; yet He is indeed Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful (Surah Al-An�am 6:165)
"Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him is our return" (Surah Baqarah 2: 155)

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

This is a sunni website, the main section of the forums are for topics from a sunni perspective. So as not to confuse people about what sunni Islam teaches non sunni discussions are confined to the Itrafaith section of the forum.

People come here to learn not just discuss, which is why we have the different sections of the forum.

Shafii, hanafi, maliki, Hanbali, sufi, wahhabi all come under Sunni Islam.
