Q&A: Sunnism & Shiism? | Dr. Shabir Ally

[AbeAlJ]

I'm a Shia and i really appreciate Dr. Ally's fair treatment of the subject. I'm so tired of hearing uneducated people claim that Shias were founded by Abdullah ibn Saba' and all this other nonsense. He is very objective in his response and very kind in extending his hand towards Shias to work towards the common good. May Allah SWT reward him.

[m.askari]

Mashallah! I'm a shia and I'm very impressed at the fairness, coherence, and the respect presented in this video. Alhamdulillah for educated and fair people like this who exist on both sides.

Salam. I am Shia and I have had the honor of being a colleague of a good number of Sunni brothers. I have not had any single problem with them. I even feel closer to a few of them more than I do to my Shia friends. Shia and Sunni are very similar in fundamental principles. I wonder why some people try to accentuate the differences rather than the commonalities. Even the siblings born to the same parents think differently. Why should we expect everyone to think alike?

I love Abu bakr As Sidiq, Umar, Uthman and Ali (May Allah be pleased with them all)...

[AllaahuAkbarr]

Sunni Muslims strictly follow and abide by the teachings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH ....Ben Khalid Mohammed is an amazing Muslim profile on Facebook and this brother is inspiring millions of people to embrace Islam Alhamdulila

At the end of the day we are all Muslims. Allah will be the judge in our differences .

[joshwha]

being a christian.. i have always respected shabbir ally.. why cant muslims think like him.

[RIPER]

i wish there were more sheikhs like him among sunnis and shias, then wahabis and salafi wouldn't be able to hurt islam as much

Six months passed and imam Ali a.s. did not give any Baiah or allegiance to Abo Bakr, here Abo Bakr sent Omar and his soldiers to the house of Fatima a.s(Daughter of Mohamed s.w.) and imam Ali a.s., Omar pushed the door of the house while Fatima was behind the door, and he broke her ribs and she lost the baby in her belly, Ali a.s. did not fight back because he did not want to make a division in the muslim nations and take it through wars.Fatima died angry 2 months after&was burried secretlyWHERE?

Now I love Shabir Ally; he is my favorite scholar. However I was bit disappointed by this talk of his. He mainly focused on the "political" divide between Sunni and Shi'a and he failed to go in depth of the religious divide/differences such the unforgivable amount of shirk and and negative bid'ah which has arisen from the Shi'a side.

I enjoy listening to Dr. Ally. He speaks very intelligently & I learn a lot from him.
Thanks!
I'll visit your website

Shabir Ally is a really inspirational man!

I almost cried after listening to this speech. Finally, someone who understands and agrees with me and others who see that each side has partial truths. I myself was born a Shia, yet after moving to North America I became so confused with this whole Shia/Sunni debate. I have lived in torment, and I DO MEAN TORMENT, for almost 4 years now because I myself don't have the resources to fully understand and make a decision about this. All I want to do is perform good deeds, and make Allah Happy.

[mustafakhan-czot]

There has already been a discussion between the sunnis and shias in a book called 'peshawar nights' which was banned from being published in certain muslim countries because of the victory of the shias in the debate which was a debate regarding everything

[abdigacal]

am not a sunni or shia but am a muslim who fallows the way of the quran and the messanger of allah

[mohsen]

Mashallah tabarkallalah I’m shia and this guy has said it perfectly Mashallah. May Allah bless him and our whole ummah❤️

[seismicwhale]

May god unite all people and help us be more open minded and compassionate towards others. May he guide us from angered conversations

[lolyou]

Let the Quran speak? Why don’t you discuss subjects from the Quran only? I want to learn about the Quran only Your show should be called “let Islam speak” i don’t want to know what Islam says I’m only interested in what Allah has to say from Quran.
