My this post is for Sunni Muslims who consider Shias as Kafirs and thus play into the hands of Kuffar through sectarian wars. Remember this -- Sunnis have strong sectarian differences with Shias but within Sunnis also there are strong sub-sectarian differences. Some Salafis consider Barelvis as Kafirs, Some Deobandis consider Barelvis as Kafirs and vice versa... the list is long unfortunately. But when you go to Hajj, all sects do Hajj together, Umra together, pray in Masjid e Haram and Masjid e Nabwi together and when you die you get buried in Jannat ul Baqee together -- Salafi, Barelvi, deobandi, shia... side by side... in salat and in graves... NO fighting there :) Even the most harsh and hard-line version of Islam -- the saudi salafi model -- DO NOT consider Shias as Kafirs... otherwise no Shia could come for Hajj or Umra. Entire Muslim Ummah is prsent in Hajj and NO one objects on the presence of other sects..... Because there consensus in the Ummah that we have sectarian differences but these sects are NOT kafirs..... Note this point clearly. Let Allah judge whose aqeeda is correct. You judge on the actions and on the fact that how that Muslim is behaving towards the Ummat e Rasul (sm). if his actions are not hurting the Ummah, then leave his sectarian aqeeda. Allah will judge him on that. Quaid e Azam had all the Muslims with him fighting for Pakistan -- Barelvis, sufis, Shias, Deobandis, salafis... Pakistan was objective and all fought against Mushriks and Khawarij of the time. For Allahs sake -- dont play in the hands of Khawarij. Let Allah judge the Shias. You dont become the judge, jury and the executioner. A Muslim can NEVER be Takfiri. It is a Takfiri who later become the Kharji. Be very careful when you issue Fatwas of Kufr. this brings you closer to Kufr yourself. Be very very careful. May Allah help Ummat e Rasul (sm) and unite its factions into one solid body. ameen. Z
