+Tent Kittingham You are absolutely and definitely correct brother. Unfortunately I didn't have any other words to use to reach out to those brothers/sisters who call themselves Sunni. Otherwise anyone who says: La elaha ellaAllah, Mohammadan RasoolAllah, is a Muslim, no matter what. After that it's completely personal if anyone follows, loves and respects the family of Prophet PBUH first or others. Hadith Saghalein حدیث ثقلین: "انی تارک فیکم الثقلین کتاب الله وعترتی اهل بیتی ما ان تمسکتم بهما لن تضلوا ابداً ولن یفترقا حتی یردا علیّ الحوض؛ "So I will leave you two valuable things after me. The Book of Allah, and My family. As long as you follow these two, you won't get lost. These two won't be divided until they get returned to me at the Kowsar spring." Or اللهم صلی علی محمد و آل محمد Peace be upon Mohammad and his family/descendant (in our prayers). ---------- Peace and Love brother

Brother why are u a Shia when there were no Shias at the time of the prophet. and why do u say such bad things about the companions of the prophet pbuh when the prophet pbuh loved them so much.

[@OnlineMediaCollection]

+Ali Mohiuddin Brother, If you look at it that way, then neither Shie nor Sunni did exist the time of our prophet. Shias don't consider Imam Ali higher than the prophet. *So here are what Shia believes in order by priority:* 1- Allah (Sobhannallah Ta'ala) 2- Quran Majid and Prophet SalawatAllah. 3- Sunnah 4- Ahl-Albayt or family of the prophet and their teachings اهل البیت و العترت 5- Imam Ali as the next leader after prophet based on these three Hadiths ~ Ghadir Khom in Hajjatol-Veda غدیر خم فی الحج الوداع ~ Hadith Saghalayn حدیث ثقلین ~ Hadith Kasaa حدیث کسا Now you tell me please. believing in these Hadiths is a crime that Shias must be beheaded because of that by Wahhabis? And believing in the above items makes Shia Kafir?!

Except some believe Aisha RA commited adultery when in fact this claim was refuted by Allah in Quran in Surah Nur so if they read the same Quran then they should know not to insult the wife of the prophet, would the prophet not know if his wife committed adultery and stay with her?

[@skyejacques]

Salaam alaikum brother Alex, I pray that your life as a Muslim becomes easier and filled with grace, material and spiritual ease Ameen. The thing about this world is that Allah swt created darkness alongside the light, and the ego is usually stronger than the soul in an individual, save for His mercy and guidance. If we see each human as a unique human being first, who is then programmed into a faith system according to inheriting from their family of origin. It may be the case their soul isn't supported by those beliefs and they may shift afterwards. Identities are usually very central to a person unless Allah swt helps them to smash all identities and to remember they are multidimensional souls with the essence of Divine within. Being born into this faith of misogyny as well as varying narratives is something I contend with, especially when I began questioning my Shi'a roots of being so convinced they are correct to the exception of every other belief, and the Ahle Sunnah have exactly the same beliefs. And so do every other faith. This might be to allow us to transcend this in time and follow what the heart and intuition as to what actually has happened and who are the people worthy of reverence and those who may have succumbed to their ego and the whispering of Shayateen. Things don't become clearer, but it may inspire us to focus more on Irfaan and the Sufi aspects of the faith. Once one is blessed with spiritual awakenings through meditation and murakkabah, things may become more expansive to the heart 💖 and the differences can be taken as historical facts and drama that belongs to others, and not us

Becoming into sects has been already warned in The Quran it's self, but what can't be avoided is that Human will never agree with something, and that there's no people except that there's difference between them, And All things is as the trial is, the religion which Allah has granted his prophet and whoever believes him is islam, and they are called muslims, and these shia and sunni are not different islams rather it's a differences between Muslims themselves which they have caused, that shia disagree things with sunni So they Got to be a sects, the only difference between them started when the prophet died and some part has choosed Ali to be the Caliph while others choosed Abu Bakr to be the Caliph, So most people voted for Abu Bakr to be the ruler of the islamic empire After the prophet, and this caused the party who voted for Ali to split and become a shia and disagree with others, And by the way Muslim is the only name given to a person who believes in Allah his messenger and follows the Quran, There's no shia nor sunni in the Religion of Allah it's what people who differed have created. and note this verse:- {وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا۟ وَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌۭ} {And do not be like those who split ˹into sects˺ and differed after clear proofs had come to them.and It is they who will have a tremendous punishment}Ali imran verse-105 {مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُوا۟ دِينَهُمْ وَكَانُوا۟ شِيَعًۭا ۖ كُلُّ حِزْبٍۭ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ} {[and not be] of those who have divided their religion and become into sects, every faction rejoicing in what it has} Ar-Rum 32. is it clear? So better not to put yourself into these factions, and the trial is that you will find Good and bad from everywhere and Allah is testing you if you would follow the desires of people who want to be different from others, and this is exactly what happened to the former Religions-the Religion of Moses and Jesus, And it caused many of them to bring new things into their Religion until it has totally changed. So these have failed in the Taste and followed their own desire and a falsefied Books, So better not to pass through the same way the formers have passed. So there can be no two ways to the truth, So the only muslim is who believes in Allah and All what he have commanded him, And I'm not saying that person is not muslim, and the judgment is for Allah, he will ask those who were happy with their faction, So be a true muslim! that's All and you will inshallah succeed!

@@darkvaderr6062 I think another issue is that people downplay the story of Hussein RA, if it wasn't for him Islam wouldn't have grown he took a stand against tyranny and not many people know his story and sacrifice because over time politics and separation of Muslims let differences grow so people think that love and knowledge of ahlul bayt only belongs to shias, at the same time shias feel that there is a disrespect when people dismiss the actions that the ummayds like muawiya took against ahlul bayt and the suhaba like the battle of siffin where many suhaba died because of the battle even tho all muslims knew the haq was with Ali RA even the prophet PBUH fortold that a fitnah will happen within the ummah and the fault will be with the transgressors that killed Ammar RA, the prophet PBUH also said that those who go to war with my ahlul bayt go to war with me and he also said to hold on to two things so we dont go astray and that was the Quran and his Ahlul Bayt and he said that three times so shia feel and love deeply for the Ahlul bayt as do many sunnis but they see many sunnis as dismissing certain historical events and downplaying events thats why many of them dont want to unite and i can understand what they mean because not all of us are taught enough on islamic history.

But there will be no prophet after me.” Translated by some like this: (‘Your relation to me shall be like the relation of Harun to Musa…) & (You hold in relation to me the same position as Harun held in relation to Musa) Hadith in Arabic: عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَبُوكَ وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ أَتُخَلِّفُنِي فِي الصِّبْيَانِ وَالنِّسَاءِ قَالَ أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ نَبِيٌّ بَعْدِي This hadith is not evidence of khilafah of Ali radiyallahu anhu after the death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because the comparison is with Haroon alayhi assalam, and Harun alayhi assalam died before Musa alayhi assalam and thus was never his successor after him.The following is an explanation by al Qurtubi rahimahu Allah in his tafsir (tafseer of ayah 2:30) regarding this narration: [There is no disagreement that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn’t mean, by (saying) “you will be to me like Harun (Aaron) to Moses” the khilafah after him, and there is no disagreement that Haroon died before Musa alayhima assalam … and was not a khalifah after him, for the khalifah (successor of Musa) was Yusha’ bin Noon, so if he wanted by his saying “you will be to me like Harun to Moses” the khilafah, he would have said “you will be to me like Yusha’ was to Musa“, so when he didn’t say this it proved that he didn’t want that meaning, but he wanted that “you are my deputy over my family in my life and my abscence from my family, like Harun was deputy of Musa over his people when he left to speak to his Lord.] Other scholars of ahl assunah explained it the same, him being deputy of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam over the women and children when he went to the battle of Tabuk just like Musa alayhi assalam left Harun alayhi assalam as his deputy when he went to his appointment with Allah ta’ala. In a Shia site it says: ((To this we answer that whenever the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, left the Islamic capital, he would always appoint someone to act as his deputy. If by comparing Ali, peace be upon him, to Harun, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, had intended nothing more than the usual appointment of a deputy, restricted in his authority to Madinah for the period of the Prophet’s absence, why did he not use a similar expression for those other favored Companions he would appoint as deputy? Why did he not use the same or similar words to describe the services they rendered?)) Answer: Those sahabah might have not asked the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to go with him and not stay behind to watch who is left behind from women, children and others, so there was no need for him to tell them that, but Ali radiyallahu anhu objected to staying behind with children and women and not go to fight with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he wanted to go to the battle instead, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that to him, showing him that he would be to him, by staying behind watching over women and children, like Haroon was to Musa when he left him behind as a deputy over his people, and it is an honor and that he wouldn’t be less than the ones who went to fight in battle. Again brother/sister, your argument to claim that Ali was the chosen Khalifa is wrong. I hope Allah guides you to understand that that wasnt the reality. I gave you proof and for every argument you have i will give more proof inshaAllah. May Allah guide you

Shiya and Sunni conflict was not just to find khalifa. It's more than that people don't want you to know. Shia believes Allah can come in any place, he can be Jesus , Ram & Krishna, or any religious God because all are the same supreme power in different Avtar. But Sunni believe Allah is only one and last. So they killed Ali (son & law) of abu bakar while he was doing his pray or slah. Hence the reason conflict is haven't been solved or less likely!

[@almubadara3761]

maybe you don't differ with the sunnis with regards to the Quran but many of your scholars in Iran and Iraq still think the Quran has been tampered with, they use Taqya many times which as per Sunni understanding has no place when there is no need for it (ie. when your life is not in danger or you are not severly threatened) you are bound to speak the truth about your beliefs (and everything else) see: islamqa.info/en/175632 Just hear what Kamal al haidary or Yasir al Habeeb or Ali al Sistani or Khamenai or the late Khomeni have to say about: Tawheed, preservation of Quran, Iman of the Sahabah or any other article of faith and you will notice the difference between people of sunnah and the rawafidh, or read your classical books such as al Kafi and Bihar al anwar, compare it with the Quran, and if you are sincere you will surely be guided

[@almubadara3761]

+Tony Al, no I dont want to debate, plenty of filmed debates have alread taken place between sunni scholars and shiite students and you can check them up if you know Arabic, and we are much less than qualified to do that but I just need to clarify 2 points: 1-You talked about the orthodox understanding of taqya (a concession to save one's life or ward off terrible harm) Allah says:(interpretation of meaning) Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah , and for them is a great punishment; Al Nahl (16:106) but what rafidis do is quite different, they hide their corrupt beliefs and pretend to be following the sunnah like any other muslim, you can find references to this corrupt kind of Taqya from your classical books like al Kafi here: ->www.discoveringislam.org/taqiya.htm 2-about what you mentionecd pertaining the "lost" verses mentioned in the sunni hadith books those are abrogated (mansookh) verses which the prophet commanded us to remove or not to count in the final Quran because Allah the almighty commanded him to do so not because people tampered with the revelation afterwards, not because of the whims and the desires of the noble caliphs of Islam as per the Rafidi claim, you can read the orthodox Islamic understanding concerning those verses here: ->islamqa.info/en/105746 Finally a sincere advise to you and all of the people who follow a shiite denomination please research about your religion; what your books say about tawheed, Iman of the companions of the Prophet or preservation of the Quran and so on, and then come back to the Sunnah (way) of the Prophet peace be upon him and to real tawheed (monotheism).

Al Mubadara Iam shia.(IN arabic shia means followers) we are proud to be called shia of ali ibn abe talib or shia of ahlulbayt. you must know some facts about shia beleif system: 1.The prophet mohammed(pbuh) order us in hajj al wada to follow 2 things :The quran and Ahlulbayt a.s 2..shia follow their imam and not sahaba because simply ahlulbayat or imam are the carrier of quran and its knowledge and they are batter than al sahaba . 3.shia imams are better than sahaba in everthing from knowledge to tafseer to courage and brave to ethics or akhlaq and patience with all people since thy are infallible. if you beleive that prophet mohammed(pbuh) was infallible then you should know that ahlulbayat were infallible too as they get their teaching from prophet mohammed(pbuh).if you dont then how allah subhano wa talla order us to follow his prophet if he was not infallible.in fact sunnei consider the prophet a regular person who can be wrong or fault ,sunneis donot beleif in infallibility 4.in order to know the importance of ahulu bayet or the imams ,i asked you to compare imam ali ibn abe talib with other sahaba,since the imams of shia are all sons of imam ali. and they have taken the values of imam ali both geneticaly and by teaching. 5.after the death of prophet omar ibn alkhatab burn the hadiths of the prophet so many hadiths will be added later and of course ,a forgery of hadiths and false hadiths had been created by enemeis of islam who pretend to be muslims which we call them al monafiqoon(hypocrites) and this is the main cause of division seen between muslims. بنو العباس 6.You need to know that NOT ALL SAHABA(COMPANIANS) ARE GOOD some would sacrice him self easily for the sake of prophet mohammed(pbuh)as imam ali was,others would argue or has doubts about what prophet said.others ran away from battles against islam enemeis leaving prophet mohammed alone except with his loyal followers .the quran said that clearly read it!!!!

My father's side is Sunni and mother's side Shiia. I was raised by my beloved parents to call myself a MUSLIM, just Muslim. As Brother Shabbir Ally right said, whether Sunni or Shiia, we all believe in the Noble Quran, we all submit to Allah Almighty alone, 5 prayers, fasting in Ramadan, charity and performing Hajj/Umrah are indispensable for all of us. We all firmly believe in the Hereafter. So why are we fighting? Again, as Brother Shabbir reminded us, this is a time when Muslims need to be united. Infighting within our pan-Islamic community carries zero benefit for us. United we rise, divided we fall. It's that simple. Btw, I do not know of any Shiia Muslim claiming Quran has been changed. If anyone claims it, that person must be some uneducated odd one out. Such freaks exist in every community. They do not represent the mainstream Muslim society. The Almighty says in Verse 159 Surah Al-Anam (Chapter 6) "Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah ; then He will inform them about what they used to do." I appeal to all our brothers & sisters to completely abandon the scourge of sectarianism and come back to being just Muslims.

He's absolutely right. Islam isn't about the succession of the Kalifat, it's about the things that are mentioned in the Kuran and it's about believing into the almighty God, his books, prophets, angels, the day of resurrection, being a good and genuine person, praying, fasting in the month of Ramadan, Hajj pilgrimage etc.

I would strongly suggest that Sheikh Shabir Ally pay a visit to Al Najaf Al Ashraf and hold some fruitful meetings with Shiite theologians at the Hawza to see for himself that what he is saying now is far from the truth. Unfortunately, and for centuries, most Sunni scholars have been avoiding any meeting with Shiite scholars at the same table. They prefer saying ungrounded claims instead of seeking the REAL TRUTH OF ISLAMIC SCHISM. As such, for the sake of truth, I reiterate my request to Sheikh Shabir to contact some Shiite scholars in Canada, who are available in most Canadian metropolises, and I am sure they will arrange some important contact for him in Al Najaf in Iraq.

Have no doubt about its coming and follow me.” (Sura 43.61 Al-Zukhruf) The Holy Qur’an also gives signs about the time of Christ’s Second Coming: “When the heaven shall be rent asunder and turned red like pigment.” Sura 55.37 Al-Rahman) All these spiritual sayings are further proofs that “Doomsday” will be brought about by a nuclear war-unless humanity reverses its course and change history. Such a reversal can only take place by man’s free will to accept salvation through Christ’s New Name: DAHESH In the inspired book “Jesus of Nazareth,” by Dahesh, young Jesus, addresses his hometown as he is about to depart from it by saying: “O City of Nazareth!

I don't think they are refering to the man Jesus..we both know that many of our Christian friends think that Jesus the Christ was God....others believe that Jesus and Buddha and Abraham and Moses and others were just "men" enlightened by our Creator...to bring us the message of the Divine'. Mohammed being the latest of these messengers from Allah. In the spirit of these revelations....all Messengers of the Divine are "Christ" Dr. Dahesh was among us in the 20th century, performing miracles...interestinly there are people still alive, who knew him and were witness to his gift. I think he died in 1984. Anyway, thats what some believe. Just an idea to consider. I can tell you love investigating matters of Faith...so do I salaam alaikum Jules

[@karimb972]

I love this man!

[@shahbazshaikh5906]

Who is only a Muslim here neglecting all the political beleifs of past just obeying Allah and following our prophet Muhammad(PBUH).

dr ally shabir may GOD bless you for you knowledge and posting all your fimlp on you tube amin !!!!!!!!!

[@carmenhamlett6423]

I have watched so many KZbin videos trying to understand the separation only to be left so much more confused. I want to know about different cultures and their beliefs. I want to understand the proper way to interact and speak respectively. America is such a huge melting pot; I feel it is so important to learn about the history and beliefs and religion of our neighbors to eliminate stereotypes and misconceptions. Thank you so much for a clear understand.

Shia don't say the holy Quran is changed.

Now the history of their imam

[@Max47340]

Dr Ally is a clear voice of reason in the chaotic world of Islam. God bless him!

[@syednaqvi7997]

I agree on open, tolerant and united ummah instead of fighting each other. Great message in the last part of the video about unity.

[@halagukhan6922]

1. Mohammad (pbuh) did declare at Ghadeer in his last days that "man kunta maulah'a fahaza Ali'un maulah'a" and raised Ali's hand in front of thousands from all areas of the Muslim empire. 2. Ali was not happy with the forced decision of making Abu Bakr the caliph, and same when he appointed Umar after himself. Ali describes his emotions about those events in a firm manner in "Nahj-al-balagha" in his famous sermon called "Shaqshaqiya". 3. The sect Ahle sunnat Wal-jamaat or Sunni did not exist until Abu Hanifa after more than hundred years after the death of the Prophet (pbuh) started spreading it as a sect. Having said that, I totally agree with Dr. Ally on how to deal with this situation today.

[@Mikhail.Tolstykh]

Thanks Ali Raza ;) everybody seems.to "forget" Ghadeer

[@mohammedsultan1275]

ok, then answer my question, just a small logic. if muhammed s.a.w.s had the intention of appointing his successor then he had done it at a large gathering in mount arafath where there were large number of muslims present...why did he did at qom....when many of the muslims had left after their rituals.???

[@mohammadomais9550]

Shaqshaiya is interpoLation and misfabrication in Nehja uL baLagha because this sermon goes against many of the sermons of MouLa Ali (AS) which are written in this book soo pLease read nehja uL baLagha with a wide angLe and without a biased mind then you wiLL be abLe to see the truth but Listening onLy to your favourite zakirs who aLways bLow fire and spit poison from their mouth wiLL make you fight with other musLims who has a difference in opinion.

[@faza9351]

Why are we even fighting over this such an small issue, sunni & shia are Muslim , we belive in Allah we belive the last prophets Muhammad sallahu Alaihi wassalam , we have the faith, as a Sunni we love ahlulbyt we respect Ali ibni Abu talib , we Sunni Shia are one big Muslim family, why do we even argue over pitty things, who become first and last khalif does that really make difference, we need to stop fighting over it rather we stay unite as one as Muslim .

[@Akhi_Umar]

Sunni isn’t a Sect, sunnis are the mainstream, shiasm is a sect since it’s the smaller group who separated from the larger group (sunni)

[@the7hertz948]

Nicely explained, i am a Muslim from iran living in australia and agree we should unite! I dont consider my self sunni nor shia but a not very religious muslim n i believe being extremist causes more conflicts n those who ask to know if a muslim is shia or sunni are the root of all problems. In fact all people from all belief systems should love n cherish each other's company.

[@truthwritten7454]

White people gog magog are the root of all murder and problems in muslim lands!!!! And you are not a muslim if you are not religious!!!!!!! Islam is a religion!!! USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@farrukhahmedsid]

MashaAllah.. Now its quite clear now. Thanks

First, follow the five pillars of Islam then think about these intricacies.

Im ashamed to say my knowledge is pretty limited on this matter. Glad I found this. Iv hurd the lecturer previously on other matters and really benefitted.

[@harun7450]

There's no Shi'a ore suni on the eyes of kufaar Muslims are one not two. as he said we should unit but not division

[@polashquadhi2330]

My mum is from Syed family and my dad is from Quadi. But I choose Sunni over Shias. Reasons are many, some are here, 1. If a person believe Quran is wrong and has been twisted he can change whole faith. 2. If a person can insult and deny a wife of Prophet (pbuh) how can we count that person among believers when in Quran all of the wives of Prophet is mentioned as mother of believers? 3. When Ali (rad) himself took bayah of his early Caliphs how can we force him to be the first one? 4. Utman (rad) also was the husband of two daughters of Prophet(pbuh) why he should not be the first Caliph before Ali(rad)? 5. The people who can praise and celebrate a non muslim, non believer assassin, for killing a Muslim Leader and relative also a companion of Prophet (pbuh), how can they be friend of Muslims? Brother, I don't have hate for Shias, and I like them, but I think everything went wrong after Hussain (rad) was killed. But I don't find any justification of Shiaism before this horrific incident. I see it in positive or negative in this two ways, 1. it was a Political Camouflage of extinct Persian empire's hypocrites and their hate towards Umar also prove that. 2. It was a product of immense grief among righteous Muslims after murder of Karbala. Can anyone help me to understand these issues please?

[@absm.m298]

Many of the reasons you mentioned are correct. Ignore Haider... let him spend his time better educating the Shia who worship Hussein in Karbala, or the Shia who cut themselves up, or the Shia who believe in infallible imams and so on

[@husaina267]

Imam Husain had Said to Yazid , if you kill me the Muslim sects would be divided . this is what happened , there has been a spilt in the Muslims . Yazid is responsible for this split not anyone else . Lanaat to Yazid and his troops

[@husaina267]

it is said his wife Aisha was not loyal to the Prophet (PBUH), hence Shias Oppose Prophet (PBUH) wife . Moula ALI has never given the rule to anyone when Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) selected him during his demise

[@hash0san]

I have questions how can I reach you team?

[@Joepurple2317]

I’m not a Muslim but I love Dr Ally.

[@mcherri22]

as a shia, i agree with everything Dr. Shabir has said. well put.

[@mcherri22]

***** those are proofs for shia thank you

[@rcstar07]

Mahdi Yassine I am Sunni and agree with Dr. Sabbir that Sunni and Shia was political difference not religious. Time to put this behind and work together.

[@mcherri22]

irooni100 brother exactly, it is all politics. We believe Religion and Politics are one in the same, while the sunnis believe not.

[@rcstar07]

irooni100 lets say if I agree you on this Imam Ali was better religious guide than Umar or Abu Bakar, why is it such a big deal in 21st century modern world. Sunnis respect Imam Ali as much as you guys do. Still we follow same Quran. Also there are Sunni countries where religion and politics goes hand to hand; example like Saudi Arabia. I believe religion and Politics can go hand to hand if religious law is sensitive to modern environment. Individual value has changed a lot since the time of prophet. In modern world you can not implement religious Law, and implement laws like stoning for adultery, or killing apostate.

[@mcherri22]

rcStar c does the religion change for the people or do the people have to change for the religion??

[@hussainalsaeed6389]

He's respectable Shiak. He talks nicely without any bigotry May Allah bless you Please keep in this way .
