Q 1: Please
clarify the differences between Sunnis
and
Shi`ah (Shi'ites)
Which of them is the closest to the Sunnah?
A 1:
The differences between
Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah (adherents to the Sunnah and the Muslim mainstream) and the
Shiites are major regarding Tawhid (Oneness of Allah), Prophecy, Imamah (leadership or governance) and more. There are many books in this regard, including Minhaj Al-Sunnah by the Shaykh of Islam
Ibn Taymiyyah, Al-Milal wal-Nihal by
Al-Shahristany,
Al-Fisal by Ibn Hazm, Al-Khutut Al-`Aridah by
Muhibb Al-Din Al-Khatib, and Mukhtasar Al-Tuhfa Al-Ithna Ashariyyah. You can read about this issue in the above mentioned books.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
