Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Victim Lost in Saqifah 1-4 Discourse Three To Make Difference Between Two Schools So Light As To Appear Depthless Introduction This is one of the ideas since the beginning of unity in question, which still can be seen in a scattered thought. It is to show differences between school of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) and that of Caliphs at a very low level.

If difference between beliefs of two schools be wider and deeper, to bring followers of these schools closer becomes very difficult. Therefore it is in the interest of unity-seekers to display this gulf of difference as too narrow as far as their claim is concerned. If we appoint one as a neutral judge and assign him to study beliefs of both schools and then give his judgment or opinion.

Without doubt, his reply will be that differences in beliefs of Shia and Sunnis are much wider and deeper than what claimers of Islamic Unity pretend. Although topics of the subjects of discussion between two beliefs are common, its contents differ very much. To depend on common topics would produce only fictitious unity. Because the following discussions that are publicized have the same titles but have a vast difference between them.

Just take a look at the books: Be With the Truthful Ones, Ask Those who Know and other work of Dr. Muhammad Tejani. He has written these books after having had been guided to Shia School. This will rightly prove what we have stated above. Tendency towards unity, in any case, is bereft of originality and truth. It might be having strength and salubrity in its early stage.

Even then it is said: “We find out at a careful scrutiny that around eighty five or ninety percent of matters concerning belief, jurisprudence and moral are common among all faiths. Therefore we must persist on these common principles with adherence, since they result in unity of Muslims.”! [1] [1] Muhammad Waizzaada Khorasani: Payaam-e-Wahdat , Pg. 151 “The fact is that schools are having common principles.”!

[1] “Islamic sects are common in jurisprudence, principle, speech, conduct, tradition and Islamic culture.”! [2] “Principle and approximately total absolute beliefs are common and final among schools. The branch issues mostly are causes of difference because each aims at a particular view.”! [3] “…followers of schools since the second century have a record. They have jurisprudence and speech. They are bound to a divine legislation.
