Prophet Ibrahim played a very important role in Islam. He fulfilled all the commandments and trials God gave him during his life. As a result of his unwavering faith, he was promised by God to be a leader of all the nations in the world. Now let's start his story. Prophet Ibraham was born in the kingdom of Babylon a long long time ago! He was blessed with wisdom even when he was a child, and this made him very very special! The Prophet was born during a time when the people worshipped the sun, the moon, the stars and they worshipped even the idols made out of stone!

Eid al-Adha 2020 Special: Divisions/Communities of Islam Part-5 This is the final part of divisions of Muslim communities Zaidiya The second major sectarian group of Shias is the Zaidiya, who believe in only five Imams, instead of twelve. Its four first Imams are of Isna Ashari Shiites but the fifth and last Imam is Hussein's (son of Hazrat Ali) grandson of Zaid bin Ali, due to which he is called Zaidiya. Their Islamic laws have been taken from a book by Zaid bin Ali, 'Majmoul Fiqh'. Muslims living in the Middle East of Yemen are of the Zaidiya community. Ismaili Shia This community of Shiites considers only seven Imams and their last Imam is Mohammed bin Ismail and for this reason, they are called Ismaili. They had a dispute with Isna Ashari Shias on who would be their next Imam after Imam Jaffer Sadiq, whether it be his eldest son Ismail bin Jaffer or another son. The Isna Ashari group considered the second son of Jaffer Sadiq, Musa Kazim as the Imam and from here the two

Ahmadiya A community of Muslims who follow Hanafi Islamic law calls themselves Ahmadiyya. This community was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmed in Qadian in Indian Punjab. The followers of this community believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad himself was an incarnation of the prophet. According to him, he himself did not bring any new Sharia but is following the Sharia of Prophet Mohammad but he holds the status of a prophet. Almost all the communities of Muslims agree that after Muhammad Saheb, the chain of messengers sent to the world from Allah has ended. But Ahmadis believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was such a reformer who holds the status o

In the early 20th century, two religious leaders Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (1863–1943) and Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi (1856–1921) interpreted Islamic law differently. Ashraf Ali Thanvi was related to Darul-Uloom Deoband Madrasa, while Ala Hazrat Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi was related to Bareilly. Maulana Abdul Rashid Gangohi and Maulana Qasim Nanotvi laid the foundation of the Deoband madrasa in 1866. Maulana Abdul Rashid Gangohi, Maulana Qasim Nanotvi, and Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi have played an important role in promoting Deobandi ideology. Most of the Muslims living in the subcontinent i.e. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan belong to these two sections.

Eid al-Adha 2020 Special: Divisions of Islam Part-1 If viewed on a large scale or on the basis of the sections, Muslims can be divided into two parts - Sunni and Shia. However, Shias and Sunnis are also divided into many cults. If we talk about Shia and Sunni, both of them agree that Allah is one, Mohammed saheb is their messenger and the Quran is the sky book i.e. the book sent by Allah. But there are serious differences in beliefs between the two communities and the issue of their successor after the death of Prophet Mohammad. The Islamic laws of these two are also different. Sunni Sunni or Sunnah means adopting the manner in which the Prophet Mohammad (570-632 AD) has implemented himself and accordingly he is called Sunni. According to an estimate, about 80-85 percent of the world's Muslims are Sunni while between 15 and 20 percent are Shia. Sunni Muslims believe that their father-in-law, Hazrat Abu-Bakr (632-634 AD) became the new Muslim leader after Prophet Mohammed, who was c

According to the Islamic calendar, he had reached Karbala on Moharram. Yazid had stopped water for him. And he wanted to accept his independence from them in any case. Hussain was not ready to accept that in any way. On the night of Moharram, Imam Hussain extinguished the lights and told all his comrades that I do not consider any of the companions more loyal and better than his companions. Tomorrow is our day against enemies. On the other hand, there is an army of millions. There are arrows. There are swords and all weapons of war. It is very difficult to avoid life by fighting against them. I give you all the best that you leave from here, I will not complain to you, it has been darkened so that you may leave. These people are only thirsty for my blood. Yazid's army will not say anything to him, who would like
