Asslam-o-Alaikum brothers ,
Frankly , I'm disgusted and fed up by this Sunni vs Shia rivalry. Just few days ago, 100 innocent hazara Muslims were brutally murdered! How sad and unislamic. Such things push young minds away from Islam. People think "This is Islam? How much mess? It can go to hell!!! (nauzbillah)"
During our times, Christian missionaries are converting thousands upon thousands of Muslims to Christianity in Africa, Pakistan, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Russia etc. Christian apologetical sites are spreading lies against Islam on the internet and young minds surfing internet are going away from the deen in a terrible way. Secularists are brainwashing Muslim youth into ultra-secularism , hollywood/bollywood is effecting the mindset of our young people , Muslims are being killed every day by others and even our own "leaders"...and YET...amongst all these troubles...among all these challenges our deen faces today.... Muslims are busy in fighting freakin' "Shia vs Sunni" .. This is the BIGGEST disservice to the Prophet (SAW) and his religion , Islam!
How can we finally find 'peace' between two of the largest sects of Islam?
I think that Muslims now should go past this rivarlies ... Today , Islam faces bigger challenges ..we must spend our energies on facing these challenges..rather than this mud slinging...
I think that a pact should be signed between GREATEST Shia Scholars under the leadership of Imam Khomeini (R.A) , and GREATEST Sunni Scholars under the leadership of Imam-e-Kaaba, and other scholars from all sects (Wahabi, Beralvi, Deobandi etc) etc .. The pact should establish that ;
- Life of EVERYBODY should be respected. Anyone who kills any person just because of its Madhab or Sect is a Kaffir and deserves hell-fire ...
- Muslims must respect ALL Sahaba that are revered by the other sect. Even if some Muslims don't believe some Sahaba to be great , then its O.K , but to keep the peace..they should not disrespect them at all .... Anyone who does that is a Kaffir.
- Saudi Arabia and Iran should co-operate and resolve their issues through dialogue .. And the "cold-war" like situation must end between Arabia and Persia ...
- Cultural ties between Sunni and Shia population must be encouraged .Inter-marriages should not be looked down up.. BOTH sects are Muslims and only Allah has the right to judge them... No one should call each other as 'Kaffir' (But only those , who cause trouble by violating any of the above stated points--if anyone does that..then he/she is a kaffir and is expelled out of Islam)
-----------------
So what you people say regarding this? Would this pact be acceptable to the Shia and Sunnis? If not , then why not? Don't you want to finish the rivarly? If yes , then how? What should be the way forward?
I want you people's insight on this...
Instead of this utterly disgusted and embarrassing sunni vs shia fights, Muslims must spend their energies to work for Islam , to protect Islam, and to spread Islam to all over the world!!!!
Jazak'Allah.
