As I understand it, sunnah means "the way" or "path of" for Muhammad's example/actions to follow. Don't shia's also follow Muhammad? I know they have a few differences. |

Yes god wishes are well worth it. You will be rewarded. The Hadith number one is described by Hazrat Umar r.a. It states "Actions depend on intentions." You have good intentions. So be it good for you. Since nobody has come up with any suggestion or nobody has taken any interest in the matter of the Unity of the Ummah, nobody has suggested any basis for unity, may I suggest that the Unity should be on the Kalimah Shahadah. All those who utter (believe) the kalimah are Muslims. Kalimah should be the base of Unity. Let us work on that for some time until some more suggestions come in favor or against it. Thanks.

Bi ismillahi rahmani raheem
Thank you for the wisdom you have provided. Especially infomation on the hadith that provides the promise that Allah(swt) will unite our hearts as one. Ive posted the hadith on the forum as part of a larger collection, From memory i think it was part of Imam Suyuti's book on the mahdi. Developing unity may be a challenge, but I hope I live to see it before Allah(swt) take my breath away. Insha'Allah.
Developing unity may be a challenge, but I hope I live to see it before Allah(swt) take my breath away. Insha'Allah. Unity wont be achieved by hegemony, "there is no compulsion in religion". not once in the entire history of man has there ever existed a society in which every single individual thought and believed exactly the same as every other individual this is not Unity. But many people from there own words [realising it or not] aim for such a thing when they speek about unity, not even in the time of the prophet [sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam] did such a thing exist the shabah did not agree on many things, they had Unity and there hearts where one but as allah explains some people are given knowledge and understanding while others are not and you have people of varying degrees of intellect as well as simple human nature which is not perfect. Go back to the time of the prophet and you will see this is the unity they had, the sahabah each had there own level of understanding about the religion and disagreed and argued but they where closer to each other than real family. |

Why does it really matter? In Christianity most of us have come to understand that the different denominations hold the same basic believes, we just celebrate them differently. I believe that GOD loves diversity. Look at all the different types of people, flowers, animals, etc. HE made. Isn't the goal of Islam to be world-wide? Edited by believer |

This is all that I can say about SECTS in Islam...
Allah Said in the Quran: ��..and be not of A-l�Mushrik�n of those who split up
their religion (i.e. who left the true Isl�mic Monotheism), and became sects,
[i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bid'ah), and followed their
vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it. � Quran 30:31-32 �My
followers will be split up into seventy-three sects; all of them will go to
Hell except one.� Someone asked:�Who are they, O Allah�s Messenger?� He (pbuh) replied:�Those
are the people who will follow my way and my Companions way.� (Bukhari and
Muslim) We can take a clue from those above basis, which way to go....GOOD LUCK |

And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. Quran33:59
