Sunni, Wahhabi, and shiyait Muslims whats the difference? (part 1)

Posted by: mirza786 in Islam today, what is islam

Detailed explanation on the difference in these main madhabs (sects).

A lot of people have a lot of views about these subjects and how they should be handled when informing other people about them.

The Message Of Islam

Posted by: mirza786 in what is islam

Worship only Allah

Since the total submission of one’s will to Allah represents the essence of worship, the basic message of Allah’s devine religion, islaam is the worship ship of Allah alone and the avoiding of worship directed to any person, place or thing other than Allah, Since everything other than Allah, the creator of all things, is Allah’s creation; it may be said that Islaam, in essence calls man away from the worship of creation and invites him to worship only its creator.
He is the only one deserving man’s as it is only by His will that prayers are answered. If man prays to a tree and his prayers are answered, it is not the tree which answered his prayers, but Allah who allowed the circumstances prayed for to take place.
One might say “That is obvious,” however, tho tree-worshippers it might not be. Similarly, prayers to Jesus (ESA pbup),Bhudda or Khrishna, to saint Christopher, or saint Jude or even to Muhammad(saww) (pbuh), are not answered by them but are answered by Allah. Jesus did not tell his followers to worship him but to worship Allah.
