I am Egyptian, my father lived in Yemen for 7 years, there he prayed in Zaydi mosques and realized that their prayer is identical to Sunni with one exception they didn't say Amen after reciting Al-Fatiha , my father was so well received in the community to the extent that they allowed him to perform the Azaan regularly and even give the Friday khutbah at the local mosque, the Imam of the mosque was friends with him, all this while being known as a Sunni Muslim from Egypt. Keep in mind the civil war in Yemen (North Yemen Civil War 1962) and the Egyptian involvement in that war was fresh in the collective memory of the Yemeni people at the time.

Imam Al-Shawkani said Imam Ali deserved the caliphate, I dont know if calling him "Sunni" really grasps the nuance, he definitely rejected all alleigance to any school identity in favor of return to the quran and ahadith

Overall a nice and tidy introduction to the madhhab. I can't be too critical, as I've been a practising Muslim for 20 years and a student of the Zaydi madhhab for the last four or five. I would like to voice my appreciation for you at least pointing out that the division of views regarding the Sahabah into Batri, Jarudi, Sulaymani, etc. didn't reflect a reality on the ground. And that is indeed the case, as heresiographers like al-Shahrastani (author of al-Milal wa al-Nihal) seemed to be rather fond of such artificial stratification. In reality, the spectrum of opinions on them are scattered amongst scholars and Imams of the madhhab (e.g. with some Imams favouring 'tardiyyah' [saying 'May Allah be pleased with him'] for al-Shaykhayn [Abu Bakr and Umar] and others adopting 'tawaqquf'). You also mentioned the 'Hadawi' school, which I feel the need to point out is more like a Sunni madhhab of fiqh (and historically there were others, e.g. Nasiri and Rassi), and the one practised in the mainstream by the Zaydis of Yemen today. And regarding the portion highlighting the affinity between the Mu'tazilah and the Zaydis, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Manekdim (a famous commentator on the Usul al-Khamsah of al-Qadi 'Abd al-Jabbar) was actually a Zaydi Imam himself!

From what I've read in my historical research, Zaydism grew prominent at least in the Southern Caspian (I'm not sure how similar the situation is for Yemen) because it was the fringe of the Islamic world in the 8th/9th centuries. Many Alid proto-Shias went there in order to escape Caliphal authority and they managed to gain many converts and supporters in the area which had been up to that point less influenced by Islam (many were still Zoroastrians). This is why it is assumed that the Daylamite Buyid emirs (Daylam being in Northern Iran on the Caspian coast) were originally Zaydis before embracing Twelver Shi'ism, though others have suggested that they may have been Twelvers from the start, and that Twelver/Imami missionaries also had a presence in the area for similar reasons.

One of our ancestors in the family lineage leading up to Zayd was called Sayyid Dawood Buzurg who was the governor of Kufa. Of course some many deny this, but it’s reported that Sayyidina Zayd was deserted by many of his supporters after showing unwavering support and respect for Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Sideeq and Sayyidina Umar رضي الله تعالى عنهم After this he called them the ‘Rafida’ which is term used for Shias today meaning something like rejectors.

@Quickbobhero9 ай бұрын
Wasil ibn Ata, the founder of the Mu'tazila school, was closely linked to Imam Ali. Also, this logical approach was heavily pushed by Imam Jafar as-Saddiq, which even the Zaydi respect. Sunni Islam was also mostly ratified as a set of doctrines during the 1100s, and the reason based methodology was mostly removed from this newly merged sect to differentiate themselves from the Shia.

Discussing just Sunni and Shi'a is much like discussing just Protestantism and Catholicism. It ignores the existence of other ancient churches such as Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, and the Assyrian Church, as well as the distinction between, say, Lutherans, Quakers, Baptists, and LDS.

It totally different, the Protestant and catholic were one before schism their foundation never had difference but rather created it after milliniels, regard to Shia sunni they were seperate from start as Ali and mauwiya put sword on each other throat and tensions with previous rulers

Most of these Shia sects are extinct, from the first, Kaysanism, until now, so many have formed and went extinct, even subsects went extinct like Hafizism a branch of Mustalism, a branch of Ismaelism. Speaking of Isma'Eliyyah, Ismaelism is nearly extinct aswell, the largest branch being Nizarism / Nizariyyah, and they got just 1 scholar who knows more about the faith than The Nizari Isma'Eli Imam himself. Ismaelism is on the brink of extinction. Zaydism / Zaidiyyah are going strong but not much of info is avaliable on them in English and other languages, mostly Arabic and maybe Farsi

@@sus527- Catholic and Eastern Orthodox were one before the Great Schism of 1054. Oriental Orthodoxy split off in a schism following the Council of Chalcedon in 451. The Assyrian Church split off in a schism following the Council of Ephesus in 431. Talking about JUST Catholicism gives the appearance that there is one orthodoxy, one set of rituals, one history, which is flat-out a lie. Not to mention that there were three distinct phases of the Reformation: the first wave of "We are Catholic but reformed" which gave rise to Lutheranism, the second wave of "We are rebuilding Christianity" which gave rise to Calvinism and derivatives, and the third wave of "Screw this, we are throwing everything away to find authentic, ancient Christianity" that gave rise to the Quakers and Anabaptists.

As a Itna Ashari Shia ( twelver) who is a Syed Zaidi, we are descended from Zaid ibn Ali who is the first imam of the Zaidis I didn't know there was a sect called Zaidism. I just assumed when people said Zaidis they were speaking about us, very interesting learning about our cousins in fiqh.

Well timed. I'm surprised you made no mention of how Zaiydism's notion of an Imam who "fights against oppressive regime" is directly behind the Houthis movement - it's civil war with Aden and it's more recent decision to cause trouble for israel's allies. .

The current activity of the houthi pirates neither targets exclusively, nor particularly harms The IDF and instead by disrupting maritime trade, has significantly increased cost of shipping for all goods passing through the region which leads to disastrous impacts broadly. Houthi leadership has claimed to only target Israeli vessels, which turned out to be a lie, to hurt Israel and help the Palestinians in Gaza, which I have trouble believing given their actions and the consequences of those actions. I don't believe their current actions constitute fighting oppression, and even if it may be perceived that way from within.

@@benjaminjenkins2384 I believe I agree with every word of your assessmen . (with the minor caveat that there's always room for a little doubt when trying to read current affairs without the benefit of historical hindsight or research, of course) From the perspective of religious studies, though, it certainly matters most how the Houthi Zaydis see themselves, right? Those large public demonstrations by militants in Dana's really fit the aspect of Zaydism described. If I am honest, I can't say I find this particular branch of Islam to be very socially or politically healthy. I try not to judge, but ... Sometimes a religion sect really does deserve criticism.
