Abdurraheem Green – Whats your view on Sunni Shia and those who say theyre just Muslims Q and A

			divided into groups.
		

			And
		

			And what about those people who said, I
		

			think
		

			the question is about different sects in Islam, and the Shia and the Sunni, and what do I think
about that? And what do I think about people who say, I'm not shell suddenly? Or, you know, I just
follow the religion of Islam and so on. I mean, ideally, yes. We would love to be able to say, Yeah,
I just follow Islam, I follow the Quran, I follow the Prophet. And to tell you the truth, that's
what I say to people sometimes. But in reality, it's not always helpful. You know, that's not always
helpful. Because when you're talking to some people, right,
		

			it is actually useful to be able to identify yourself, okay, say no, I don't think that this
particular idea is right. Or I don't think that particular ID is right. And the way we do that,
instead of explaining it all, is we just, you know, give a title to it, you know, like I'm Sunni, or
Shia, or I'm this or that, whatever. So it explains yourself something about your outlook, yeah, and
the way you perceive things, but in reality, brothers and sisters very shortly and very simply, you
know, we should follow what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in this regard, which is
authentically narrated from him, and it's also something that reflects the generality of what is in
		

			the Quran, that clearly mentions the prohibition of splitting into sects and into groups, and the
prohibitions in the Quran about that are very strong. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
he said, cling to my sunnah, and the Sunnah of the Khalifa, Russia, Dean and bite it with your
teeth, and beware of the new things in the religion. So this is what we should do, we should follow
the Quran, as is explained by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or else we will give any
interpretation we like to the Quran. No, we need to understand the Quran the way the Prophet
explained it, and who are the best people who understood the Prophet, the people who lived with the
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam they saw the Prophet pray, they were with sallallahu alayhi
wasallam the Prophet when he fasted when he made Hajj, so when he lived the Quran, and they saw
that, so they are the ones who really understood what was meant
		

			best. And so the best of them were the whole of Arashi, meaning Abu Bakr and Omar and Auslan. And
Ali, first of all, by all of the companions, especially those of knowledge, like Abdullah ibn Abbas,
okay, and I will Herrera and Abdullah Avi Massoud, and, you know, these are some of the scholars
from amongst the sahaba. So if we look to their guidance, we look to their understanding, this is
more likely that we are going to find the right understanding of Islam. Okay. And that's really what
we should try to emphasize on and if we all did that, then I'm not saying there will not be any
differences. You know, of course, there will be differences, you know, what is important is to
		

			understand the difference, what is important is to understand the differences that are permissible,
and there are some differences that are permissible, and there are some that are not, there are some
differences that are a product of permissible interpretations. And there are others that are not
that is really important to understand the difference between those two things. Yeah. Because we
have to follow the guidance. Now, if I'm the only one and I don't mean this, you know, people take
this in the wrong way. But I what I mean to say, if there's only a few of us following that
guidance, rightly and everyone for whatever reason is not I don't let go of the guidance to just
		

			join the big group. Yeah. Know what is I have to follow the guidance, right. So this is something
very important challenges for your question system.
