What is the difference between the nation of islam and the sunni muslims?
SunniSunni Muslims are the largest group in Islam, comprising the vast bulk (80-90%) of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims, hence the title Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamā‘ah (people of the tradition and union)
Islam isn't a nation! Muslims are people who believe in the Islam religion, no matter WHICH nation they live in. Within the Islam religion there are different sections.
In terms of belief, Muslims believe that there is going to be no more prophet after the Prophet Mohamed pub, and also, that no race is better than another.
The Nation of Islam is a religious organization founded in Detroit, Michigan, by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad in July 1930. He set out with the goal of resurrecting the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of the African American men and women of America. The N.O.I. also promotes the belief that God will bring about a universal government of peace.[Mainstream Muslims consider the group to be a non-Islamic independent religion that has adopted Islamic terminology rather than an Islamic sect due to differing beliefs about God, race, and prophecy, among others.
It is more about racism and how blacks are better than whites WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM!!!
Islam is about peace and that all hum as are equal whether black or white, poor or rich, etc.
The so called "Nation of Islam" is a Black,American organization which gained some popularity during the 1960's. it was led by Elisha Mohammad a guy from Detroit who turned out to be a very proficient con artist.
Sunni Muslims are one of the Islamic orthodox cults and sworn enemies of the Shitte Muslims.
Islam is NOT a Nation.
It's the Religion of the Way of Life.
It includes everything, it is the COMPLETE Guidebook from God Himself. The Complete, Final Edition of his guidebook to humanity.
It has rules, laws, and instructions for EVERY single thing in life.
Financial, social, political, sexual, educational, freedom, justice, what is allowed, what is forbidden, when you are allowed to do something, when you are not allowed to do it.
It confirms the Torah and the (original) Bible as the Holy Books from the Same One God who sent down the Holy Qur'an.
Sunni's, are Muslims who live by the Sunnah, the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw). Sunnis' are about 92% of the overall 1.84 BILLION Muslims.
Al-Sunni is the correct faith; it is protected and 100% authentic in every way. It has no additions, or alterations. (Whereas the Shias for example, have edited the Shahada to include Ali[Ra] name beside Allah's and Muhammad's - Estrella).lLemail me at amirhussain333@yahoo.com
for any and every question regarding Islam.
The Belief. We believe that God is not similar to His creations in antsier. God is not a man, body, light, spirit, or anything created. He exists without a being in a place because He created time and space therefore He is not in 'need' of any of them or anyone. He cannot be contained or limited by the six directions which He created, Had God have any resemblance of the creation, then it would susceptible on God what is susceptible on the creation like weakness, tiredness and death. This does not befit God.
But some of the "nations" beliefs go against the true belief of Islam. They say God dwells in them or the black man is "God" and white people are the devils. Totally opposing the Belief of the Muslims. So they cannot be considered Muslims because to be Muslim you submit to what was revealed to the Final Messenger to mankind which is Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu 'Alayhi WA salaam. Another one of their anti-Islamic belief is that they say there was another Prophet after Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that too opposes the belief of the Muslims. Because it is well known that Muhammad is the final Messenger of God, He was sent as a mercy to the whole of Mankind for all race, men, and women.
