Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum,
Quote:Hence, my post! It appears as though "Muslim" is a term used very loosely. It's one thing to say that Islam prohibits sects & divisions, but when you think outside your complacent little bubble, Wael, you'll realize that things aren't quite what they seem. I can't just accept your words on a shaky foundation. Please reason this out for me. Give me a breakdown of Tim's presentation rather than a frivolous statement. Discuss! Discuss! Discuss!
We did not deny that Muslims today are divided amongst themselves, but at the same time we are saying that such divisions are not endorsed by Islam at all. The Prophet Muhammad pbuh predicted that Muslims will be divided into 73 groups, but he also tells us, that <b>one group only will be on the right path</b>, <b>the one to which he and his companions belong.</b> And Alhamdulelah, the life of Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his companions its an open book, there is nothing hidden, so its so easy for Muslims to follow the proper teaching of Islam by simply following the example of Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his companions.
<b>Problem solved. </b>
Salam
Wael.
