Do Sunni and Shia Muslims pray the same?

Muslims pray towards Holy Kaaba and Shia's pray facing towards Karbala.

i think Shea's pray with a rock on their head. not sure

The Sunni and Shina each have their own call to prayer or Ethan that can be heard through out the mosques telling them its time to pray and can be heard in the streets of Muslim countries. The shies have the same one as the Sunni except that add in there something about Ali. I think Shina use a rock that they put their head upon while in prostration. The Sunni put their hands and arms across their chest while standing in prayer but the Shina put their arms down laying on their hands on their thighs while standing in prayer.

not sure of any other differences. I'm sure there are more differences.

no many differences r there they pray 5 Sal in three Tums day they pray Farr then DH together and then mag rib OSHA together
their postures r different too
i noticed it in markka n yes they keep a stone made of cabala dust on the place of sujood
my shia friend said it sucks into itself all their sins or something like that when they do sujood

For the most part, yes. Differences are:

hands are down and not folded, Sukkot must be on something natural that cannot be worn or eaten (carpet can be changed into an article of clothing so cant do Sukkot on it), the Ethan is the same except for "Hasten to the best of deeds" is added. Some Shina say "Ali is the wail of Allah" but it is not part of the main Ethan so it is optional to say it since they believe Ali is an extent ion of the Prophet. Also Shina must recite an entire Sarah during each racket after Fatima, not just a few ayat, during fardh prayers.

Shia also have qunoot (dua during prayer after 2nd rakaat) but it is optional as well and sunnis also perform it during special occasions.

Minor differences

Sunni and Shia Namaz or SALT differ from each other on the basis of actions and words involved. Sunni Muslims follow various interpretations by different schools of laws whereas Shia Muslims follow different legal traditions. Sunni Muslims follow Hanbli, Hanfi, Malikii and Shafi schools of thought whereas Shia Muslims follow Jaafri Madhhab.

Shia Muslims pray three times a day as they join two salats such as Maghrib and Isha salat together whereas Sunni Muslims pray five times a day. The two salats combined by Shia Mulsims are called the Maghrebain. Shia Muslims use a plank of wood or a hard tablet made of clay from karbala to rest their heads during prostration whereas Sunni Muslims touch their heads directly to the floor.

The other differences between Shia and Sunni salat include the position of their hands. Sunni Muslims fold their arms whereas Shia Muslims do not find it valid to fold arms during salat. There are also differences in the Athan or prayer call such as Sunni Muslims add ?AL-SALATU KHAYRUN MINA NAWM? in the Fajar Athan whereas Shia Muslims add ?HAYYA ALA KHAYR AL-?AMAL.? It is a must or Wajib for Shia to say ?Khayr al amaal? whereas Sunni Muslims do not consider it a must since it was stopped at the order of caliph Omar. Shia and Sunni Muslims both regard Athan as a Sunah, near Wajib or it is a must.

?Nawm? is a must for Sunni Athan but Shia Muslims do not say it because it was not said at the time of Prophet Muhammad and Omar. The caliph introduced it during his times. Some of the other differences between Shia and Sunni namaz are the use of word Amen. Amen is a Hebrew word and Shia scholars do not consider it Wajib whereas Sunni Muslims say amen after Surah Fatiha during namaz. Amen is a compulsory word to say after Surah Fatiha for Sunni Muslims. Shia Muslims read complete Surah or verses of Quran after Surah Fatiha whereas Sunni Muslims are not bound to read the whole Surah. They may read only a few verses or just one verse from any where in the Quran after Surah Fatiha.

There are also many other minor differences between the Shia and Sunni namaz as mentioned above. Sunni Muslims point their fingers or rotate these in circles during namaz whereas Shia Muslims do not and then Shia sit comfortably on the folded feet whereas Sunni sit on twisted foot and so on.

Summary:

1. Shia Muslims pray three times a day and combine Maghrib and Isha salat whereas Sunni Muslims pray five times a day.

2. Sunni Muslims fold their arms whereas Shia Muslims do not fold their arms during namaz.

3. Shia Muslims add ?Khayr al amaal? whereas Sunni Muslims add ?Nawm.?

4. Sunni Muslims touch their heads to the ground whereas Shia Muslims use a wooden block or tablet of clay to rest their heads during prostration.

5. Shia Muslim scholars prohibit the use of word Amen during the namaz whereas Sunni Muslims consider it as a must.

Is that a reveal ant question?

What does this teach us?

we face the Kaaba not cabala so ignore what the user said. We put a mu hr on the prayer mat ( a small rock structure made out of clay/soil) this isn't mandatory but it is Sunnah. For we believed that wherever the Prophet (behalf) prayed he put clean soil on the ground where he was about to put his head so that the ground would be pure and clean.

also we put our hands to our sides when we pray, because we believe this is the way the prophet prayed and that Umar made his own way of praying (holding his hands) after the prophet passed away.

also the Adham is different. we say "Hayalalla KarilALmal" and we say two la illaha il allahs at the end. Some shias also like to incorporate "Ali ul wali" in the Adhan but other like myself don't agree with that being in the adhan.

also some things are different in the prayer itself. like after the second rakkats when standing up the sunnis recite sura al Fatiha. But we say: "subhanAllahe wa alhamdulallahe wa la ila ha il Allah wa Allahu akbar" Three times
