salam ba hama
i thank to all of u for sharing ,
iam a shia imami ismaili muslim girl.
As u guyz said that shia and suni ,both r the same and following the same religion "islam",u guyz r absolutly right. bcoz we both believ on allah and We both r followers of sunnah and the holy book"Qhura-e sharif".
i wanna share this as well:
"and hold fast all together by the Rope of Allah,and be not divided amongst yourselves"-HOLY QUR'AN(3:103)
AND THE HOLY PROPHET'S SAYING,HOPE U UNDERSTAND:
"IAM LEAVING AMONGST U TWO THINGS AFTER ME-THE HOLY QURAN AND MY POSTERITY;VERILY, IF U FOLLOW THEM BOTH, U WILL NEVER GO ASTRAY. BOTH R TIED WITH A LONG ROPE AND CANNOT BE SEPARATED TILL THE DAY O JUDGMENT" -prophet Mohammad(S.A.S)
hazir imam's saying:
"it is important that in learning parts of the Quran, u must clearly understand the meaning.i hope that u will not forget that the meaning is the foundation of our concept of islam, becaus our concept is esoteric."-bombay 22 nov 1967.
ANOTHE SAYING OF HAZIR IMAM:
"i would also like that each and every one of u should remember that u must be regular in ur prayers, for this is what will remind u of the shortness of this life hereafter.."lahore 25 nov 1964
i just wanted to share these ,and we believe that our imam of the time is the one who guid us and wh show us the way to follow Quran-e-sharif and to understand its meaning and to be regular in our prayers whether we r poor or rich ,wherever we live we should be regular in our prayers.
i also go to REC(religious education centre) where we r thought "tarikh-e- islam" and translation of quran and many other imp things. anyhow i just wanted to say that we all r the muslims.it doesnt matter what ppl think, lets be optmists and hold the rope of alah.
ur's trully ,
