DIFFERENT ISLAMIC SECTS

INTRODUCTION :
The prophet succession gave birth to many sects movements. In spite of their disagreements and due to the fact of the civil rights, those differents movements recognize themselves unanimously as the only one and big Muslim community. Despite of their mutual exclusions and blames, the Muslim unity live ans share the same cult and most important in the same pilgrimage Islam places as, Meka, Arafa Mont and Kaaba.

Sunni Islam
The Sunni represent the Muslim majority, which means they recognize Sunna, Prophet Mahomet institution and his loyal companions, the first Califs. The Sunni are also call the Orthodoxe Muslim.
4 schools shared this religious dogma :
- The Hanifite which means "One that is inclined" (“liberal”, they accepted by the Ottoman Turks, Indian and central Asia, Azerbeidjan, Turkmenistan, Usbekistan, Kirgistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Bangladesh).
- The Chafiite, Countries in which Shafiite law is practiced; Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Irak, Kurds in Iran, nearly all of East Africa and in Indonesia.
- The Malikites, (traditionalist. They accepted only authenticatedtraditions. Countries in which Malikite law is practiced: Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain,Sudan, Upper Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and nearly all of western Africa and Spain.)
- The Hanbalite, the most fundamentalist and fanatical of the four. Hanbalites want religious Islamic
governments, not secular Arabic states. Countries in which Hanbalite law is practiced: Saudi
Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The different opinions and thoughts lead a lot of fights between those schools but never ended with excommunication. Excommunication's act allowed death penalty on punished people.
The Sunni prophecy is : One God, one faith, one community. Some sunnit theorist try to promote tolerance with non Islamist, because they think that the way God will think and act. In the modern society, the sunnit appear as a powerfull harmonization and unity in the Muslim community due to the fact of his capacity to be tolerant with other religions.

Le kharijisme
The Prophet never designate any sucessor. Because of the sects or tribes diversity, this sect rise up and join the fith pillars of faith and took another road of faith far from the official and traditionnal Islam.
Kharijisme always wanted to subordinate politic with religion doctrine. This explain why this Muslim sect revolt oftenly against the politics authorities.

Le chiisme
Same as the kharijisme, this sect appeared after the Prophet's death. For them the sucessor should be Mahomet son in law, named Ali.
The Imam's training are very important because it's the secret knowledge's heritage from Mahomet given to Ali.
In addition of the 3 theologies belief affirmed by the Sunni Islam, Chiism add a fourth one, which is the Imamat, to achieve Mahomet's work and revelation. God is unique, Mahomet is the Prophet, God will establish his judgment at the end of the world and God chose the Imam same way as he chose the prophet, giving him the same rights, execept the Revelation's one. The Imam is inspired by God in all the decisions he needs to take. The Imams succeed to one to another one, and their numbers is undefined. It is on this number'sfact that the Chiites community argue and disagree. Because of that, this movement split in two groups : The Duodecimains Chiites who recognize the legitimacy of twelves Imans, and the Ismaeliens which recognize only seven.
Even if the Chiisme are strongly opposed to the Sunni, they recognize Sunna authority. Chiisme count plenty of tiny sects. They go from moderate sects to very extremist sects, on a religious or politic level aswell.

Conclusion
The unity and faith in one God is actually the main problem for all those sects. The dream is a come-back of all those men in the same community. Which happens one's in a year with the Mecca Pilgrimage.
The gathering of all those believers, is showing what will be the gathering of all the men during the last judgment in front of God, at the end of the humanity.
