Shia Or Sunni? شيعه يا سني؟

شيعه يا سني؟

حق با كيست؟

مسلمانان چه شيعه و چه سني هر دو مذهب پيرو پيامبر اسلام محمد مصطفي(ص) بوده و نام همه آنها مسلمان است. اختلاف اين دو مذهب از بعد فوت پيامبر اسلام آغاز مي شود.

پس ار آن كه محمد خاتم(ص) دار فاني را ودا گفتند عده اي از مسلمانان كه ما آنها را با نام اهل سنت مي شناسيم بر اين باور اند كه حضرت خاتم پيش از فوت خويش كسي را به عنوان ولي ، جانشين و رهبر مسلمانان معرفي نكرده بودند. بنابر اين تصميم گرفتند تا جلسه اي تشكيل داده و كسي را به عنوان رهبر مسلمين انتخاب كنند. در اين جلسه عده اي كه حضور داشتند ابوبكر كه يكي از ياران پيامبر بود را به رهبري انتخاب كردند.

اما در مقابل عده اي ديگر كه آنهارا شيعه و يا به صورت دقيق تر شيعه اميرالمومنين علي (ع) مي ناميم بر اين باور بودند كه حضرت خاتم پس از آخرين حج خود در هنگام برگشت به مدينه در محلي به نام غدير خم مسلمانان را جمع كرده و سكوي بزركي درست كرده و خطاب به مردم فرمودند: اين سفر حج آخرين حج من خواهد بود و من نيز مانند انسان هاي عادي ديگر به زودي از دنيا خواهم رفت.  سپس ايشان دست حضرت علي (ع) را كه اولين فردي بود كه به پيامبر ايمان آورد را بالا بردند و فرمودند: هركس كه من مولاي او هستم علي نيز مولاي اوست و فرمودند: من دو چيز با ارزش در ميان شما خواهم گذاشت، قرآن و اهل بيتم.

اين دليل اصلي اختلاف ميان شيعه و سني است.

ما نمي خوايم بگيم كدوم درست و كدوم غلط است. فقط بدانيد ما همه مسلمانيم و در مقابل اديان بيگانه بايد از يكديگر دفاع كنيم.

In the final days of his life, Muhammad the prophet and messenger of Islam told his closer followers that his life is nearing an end. Many people could not imagine that Muhammad would also pass away some day. But as he said himself, he was like any other human being and some day would leave this world. It is after his death that Islam would see a split or separation and just like the other religions of the world, there would be conflicts and arguments on who's right, and who's wrong. Although both groups agree on almost all of the basics of Islam like the five pillars of Islam, how they do each, like gestures on prayer time, varies.

The Sunnis believe that Muhammad, before his death had not identified anyone after himself to lead the Muslims. So a group of his followers gather in a meeting and decided that they should all vote to see who would be the best person to guide the Islamic ummah (population). In this group of people, one of Muhammad's close followers, Abu-Bakr is decided to take control. Sunnis call the people who lead the Islamic government after Muhammad a Caliph. The very first which was Abu-Bakr. 

A group of people did not accept Abu-Bakr as the Caliph. These groups of people are later on known as the Shia's. What they believe in is that Muhammad, on his final pilgrimage to Mecca, had announced an important message to the Muslim nation. At a place named Ghadireh-Khom, he gathered all the people that are returning to their homes from Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). He there announces that this Hajj he has just recently returned from was the last one he could ever attend. Then a question is asked about what the Muslim community should do and whom they should follow. Muhammad replies "I have left you with two very important resources. One the Quran, and the second my family" then he calls Ali and raises his hand to the sky. (Ali is Muhammad's cousin and the first male individual to accept Islam). Then says "Whoever believes in me, should also believe in Ali ". The Shia population refer to this announcement as Muhammad having chosen Ali and identifying him as the Islamic leader after himself. So Ali was the first Imam (Shia leader) but also the fourth Sunni Caliph.

No matter if they argue on the details of their views, they still follow the same way of life and are followers of Mohammad so if a Shia boy will marry a Sunni girl, they may have problems with regards to parental consent but same with Christians, either they can fight for it or drop it. Hope this helps. Goodluck.
