Hi all!
I would like to know some major basics differences that divide Shia and Sunni Muslims.
What is forex? The forex market is where one currency is traded for another. It is the largest market in the world, not only in Dubai. You can learn a lot about the most famous city of the Emirates and its amazing airport and also tallest tower in the world. its amazing airport. You could try following their forex trading plan (at your own peril), or set up your own forex blog to better learn forex. That way, you can at least take note of the reasons for taking specific trades, what forex chart patterns they are looking at, and get some valuable forex tips from them. Don't forget about calculating the support and resistance area for the forex pairs you're following by using a Fibonacci calculator. This will help you immensely in your trading as most speculators will be looking at the same price levels, and you could possibly predict the moves of currency pairs.

Sunnis- believe in one and only Allah and only call him for help.
Shiites- believe in Allah but also believe in other "Hassan, hussain, Ali etc." who are heirs of Mohammed - this is contradictory to Sunnis.
there you go http://www.islamfortoday.com/shia.htm
>>>What you state here barrym is what Wahabi say and not sunnis for sure, and their only goal is to separate betwin muslims.
-Shiites and Sunnis believe that we can ask for help to Allah (God) almighty and also through prophet Mohammed and the Awlia'a (friends of prophet Mohammed and people were arround him). At the end he is our Shafiaa (saver) in the day after and this is a fact.
-The only difference between them is that shiites also believe that not only the Awlia'a, there is also AHL L BEIT (the relatives-his wife-Khadija, his daughter- Fatima and his grandson- Hassan and Hussein,and Ali who is his daughter's husband) are also our Shafiaa (savers) in the day after so we ask help also through them.
But still this is not a big issue and this do not make any muslim a Kafer(bad muslim).
-Other things is all politics.
-Now let me tell you something about Wahabis and also that is a fact because i heard it from several Saudis who are very trusted that in Qassim in Saudy arabia the Wahabis between each other they refuse to say Prophet Mohammed, they only call him Mohammed because they are originaly Qorayshiin (the enemies of the prophet in past),for us this is not acceptable.
hope this will help you and Good luck.
I really Agree with danoah...... Absolutely right.........
And the one who finally knows the truth he always says that Oh my God I had a wrong concept for shia's..... because I have a lot of Sunnis friend........
we should not raise the question for the difference between Shia & Sunni.... we should ask difference between Sunni & Wahabi.......???

sorry danoah, that's what I've heard. I am really no expert. I just tried to answer according to what I knew. the guys who told me this said shia prays to Ali which is like idolisation (i think the term was shirk?? is it right?) apparently there some wahabi in my circle of acquaintances
>>>nooo,don't say sorry, and don't worry,i know that very well, i knew that you might have a Wahabis friends,and this is what makes me angry from Wahabis.
Hey people, thank you for your replies. I had searched google on the topic, and also read the Wikipedia entry for Sunnis and Shiites; I wasn't looking to get people into controversial disputes and so on... just wanted some first-hand opinions of real people, not some article in wikipedia. You're helpful. thank you all
No big difference in Shia and Sunni. real Muslims consider Shias and Sunnis brothers in Islam. Allah is one, Quran is one, Both sunni and shia believe the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the last Prophet of Allah. They both perform Hajj and Celebrate El-Eid.
dont just lissten what one or another said, check the facts by reading the SOURCES, and what major Mslim scholars say.
