Eid al-Adha 2020 Special: Divisions/Communities of Islam Part-3

This is the part-3 of Eid al-Adha 2020 special: Divisions or Communities of Islam.


Shafai

Shafai is the disciple of Imam Malik and the third chief Imam of Sunnis. A large section of Muslims follows their stated paths, which mostly live in Middle East Asia and African countries.

It is not very different from others in the matter of faith but it is different from Hanafi Fiqh based on Islamic methods. His followers also believe that it is important to follow the Imam.

Hambali

In Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Middle East, and many African countries too, Muslims follow Imam Hambal's Fiqh and they call themselves Hambali.

Saudi Arabia's official Shari'a is based on the religious laws of Imam Hambal. His followers say that his method is closer to the hadiths.

Muslims who believe in these four Imams believe that following their Imams is necessary to follow the Sharia.

Salfi, Wahabi and Ahle Hadith

There is a group among the Sunnis who do not agree to follow a particular Imam and say that to understand the Shariah and follow it properly, study the Quran and Hadith (words spoken by Prophet Mohammad) directly needed.

This community is known as Sulfi and Ahle-Hadith and Wahabi etc. This section values the knowledge of the four Imams, their research studies, and their literature.

But he says that following one of these Imams is not mandatory. According to their Quran and Hadith, the practice of that is correct, but in any controversial thing, the final decision should be believed in the Quran and Hadith.

The Salfi group says that it wants to promote Islam that was in the time of Prophet Mohammad. To promote this thinking, Sehra is tied on the head of Ibne Taymiyya (1263–1328) and Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab (1703–1792) and the community is also known as Wahabi, in the name of Abdul Wahab.

Most Islamic scholars in the Middle East are more influenced by his ideology. One thing about this group is very famous that it is communally extremely radical and very fanatical in religious matters.

Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was also a supporter of the Salfi ideology.

Eid al-Adha 2020 special: Prophet Ibrahim

-
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! Ibrahim’s father was a sculptor, and he used to make the idols with his own hands! His father never used to worship Allah at all! As a child, he used to sit and watch his father carving out these statues from stone. Sometimes Ibrahim used to play with them! But when he saw the same statue in temples, he got confused. He wondered why the people were prostrating before these stone idols, so he decided to ask his father ab

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
