Why calling yourself Shia, Sunni..etc

FearGod

Why not Muslim and then full stop.

Was Muhammed calling himself Shia ?
How to follow the teaching of the prophet and then choosing a name of religion that never existed ?
Was Moses Shia or Sunni ?

Is it awful to call yourself as just a Muslim ?

Those who are forcing people to be Sunnis and Shias for their political reasons are hypocrites, there should be no sects in Islam, the same as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammed all were Muslims.

No need for the Sunnies to do the same mistake of the Shia, let them be Shia if they wished to be so and let the others be just Muslims.

Very powerful message , but don't know how many Shia/Sunni gonna care..:frowning:

[003:064] Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we are Muslims ."

[6:159] “ As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you are no part in them in the least , their affair is with Allah, He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.”

May GOD,the Almighty bless both of you . Now lets sing in chorus - who next ?


[3:103] You shall hold fast to the rope of GOD, all of you, and do not be divided. Recall GOD's blessings upon you - you used to be enemies and He reconciled your hearts. By His grace, you became brethren. You were at the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you therefrom. GOD thus explains His revelations for you, that you may be guided.
