not only twelvers but all shia are different from sunnis and most people i think even me dnt regard shia as muslims


Ex Muslim chiming in here ..

Isn't it for allah to decide who is muslim and who isn't (i don't believe in allah but from a muslim point of view shouldnt you wait for allah to judge?) Do you know better than allah?

Secondly don't you think you should be more thoughtful of the Shia muslims who use this site? Making takfeer of people who claim to be muslim is not cool and will only lead to more feelings of hatred (you can make takfeer of me tho :biggrin:)

I'm sure in Bukhari it says if someone calls another muslim kaafir it will apply to one of the two .. so be careful what you wish for :wink:

Kaafir and proud

I must have misread what you wrote,

The Modern Day Baraylawis have deviated from the teachings of Ahmad Rida Khan, if you read his works he doesn't allow them to do the things that they do at the Shrines of Saints & there are hardly any true Sufis left in the Indian subcontinent only those wearing the garments of the Sufis but they are not of them


Have you read parts of Hadaiqe Bakhshish, al-Amn wal-Ala or Risalah fataawa karamaat-e-Ghausiya? If you want to discuss this further, I would not mind mentioning some brief statements on a separate thread.

you can get deobandi sufis who dont dance do music they just purely focus on allah and dhikr they dont do wird things


The majority (at least) of deobandis don't do that stuff.

Original post by MuhammadDarcy
If you read the works of the Deobandis a lot of their Sufic beliefs are exactly the same as Baraylawis and the teacher of the Deobandi Elders Imdadullah Muhajir Makki had the exact same beliefs as Ahmad Rida Khan & his students split into two groups those who held the same beliefs as him and Ahmad Rida Khan and the other group that had certain Salafi beliefs such as Ashraf Ali Thanwi


It's easy to get mixed up. Of course, they did have some similar beliefs/practices. After all, the 2 groups were geographically intertwined, followed (at least in theory) the same school of fiqh, and started off with similar 'aqaa'id (doctrine). To simplify the situation as you have done above, however, is only conducive to confusion and misunderstanding. There are fundamental differencecs between barelwi doctrine and that of most other Muslim groups. This is an objective fact.

There are subjective statements and then there are objective statements. Some things undisputedly take one out of Islam.
Yes, the general principle is that nobody should call anyone else (specifically and directly) a disbeliever - unless there is absolutely no doubt that the person is disbelieving. Rather, what is said is that certain acts take one into disbelief, and this is deduced from the evidences and the reasoning is presented.

Lol, I believe there is no God but Allah and that Prophet Muhammed (saw) is the last messenger.. I'm a Shia?

I don't understand why you think I'm not a Muslim, aside from me believing in the twelve Imams.

Everything you've stated in this post makes me a Muslim lol

Edit; I'm not trying to cause an argument, sorry if it comes across like that.

I'm saying that the general case is that deobandis don't do that. But, of course, ascribing to the deobandi group does not mean that a person will not do such things - that depends on the individual.

So you think it's ok to generalize and make takfeer of all Shia?

Nope. Nor have I ever done this. However, if a group does something that opposes Islam, then that action is to be condemned as being contradictory to Islam.

and there arew way more than millions who dont
EX muslim chiming in here ,
you really cannot take the word of any Algerian , we haven't even been muslim for a long time , historically speaking when islam got to us we only converted from christianity because we were told become a muslim or die . Most of Algerians and north africans are berber not arab and we really dont uphold the muslim way of life.Not only have we been influenced by other religions but as a consequence of France being in our country for over a century , our islam has been distorted . We literally are not proper muslims, with the exception of the arabs who live in our country .
also , you really waste a lot of time arguing about religion and comparing suni to shia to blah blah blah BUT if you put this effort in improving your country and your own morals the world will be a better place?!

Shias are Muslims
Sufis are Muslims
Salafis are Muslims

If Muslims united they would have advanced long ago
