Asalamu wa alaikum,
Division is one of the world wide Muslims problem. What can we do?
we can try our best to connect with each other and not put anyone
above or below usand respect each other. This is a short message to
all. Thank you

The hadiths recount divisions even in the lifetime of the prophet -
proto-Kharijites had already appeared. Then there were a series of
fitnas ending up in the Shi'ite movement. I don't see any end to
division. Most likely there will be more and more and Islam will end
with as many denominations as the Christian or even more.

In the world of the future I predict much more interest among Muslims
in how to get along with non-Muslims than with each other.

politics rather than theology has divided Muslims. right now, afetr
the initiative of King Abdullah of Jordan, the various sects are
recognizing each other again.
