Shias & Sunnis In Our Day & Age, It Is More Important To Stress Points of Agreement Rather Than Points of Disagreement, Because What Unites Muslims Is Much Greater Than What Disunites Them. With the Enemies of Islam Trying Hard to Sow the Seeds of Discord Among Us, We Should Try Our Best to Render Their Attempts Futile.- (Islam in Perspective, Arab News) Labeling Some Sects As Non-Believers http://ourdialogue.com/answers/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=1567 Question Since the Shias praise Ali all the time, rather than God and His messenger, and since they do not say the Athan as we do, can we consider them Muslims? Answer It is true that the Shias accord great respect to Ali, placing him above other companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, in their esteem. But neither this, nor the additions they have in the Athan, or call to prayer, is reason to consider them nonbelievers. How can anyone say so when they declare that they believe in the oneness of God and the message of His messenger, Muhammad, peace be on him. AB [EMAIL PROTECTED] "For to us will be their return; then it will be for us to call them to account." (Holy Quran 88:25-26)
