Who is superior to Allah: Shia, Sunni, or Ahmadiyya?

Before discussing Sunni and Shia Muslims or other groups of Islam, we have to know two significant terms: Islam and Muslim. Islam is derived from the Arabic word “Salam,” which means peace, and “submission” (to God’s will). Another term is Muslim. Who is Muslim? A Muslim is a follower of the monotheistic Abrahamic religion of Islam. Muslims adhere to and believe in the teachings of Islam, which are derived from the Quran, Islam’s sacred book, and Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) teachings and deeds, which are regarded by Muslims as the last and ultimate messenger of God.

However, no single group is allowed in Islam, neither Shia nor Sunni. According to Al Quran, “And the hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves (Surah Aali Imran, Verse-103).” Here, Allah is clearly saying that don’t divide yourselves. If anybody holds the Quran and Sunnah of Muhammad (PBUH), he or she will be Muslim. Furthermore, Allah is saying that as for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, though has no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did (Surah Al- Annam, verse-159).

Nevertheless, why do we advocate for a split that our Creator forbids? Only our interests drive what we do. We identify as Muslims and proclaim that Allah is our Creator, but in reality, we aren’t Muslims because we introduce ourselves to others as Shia, Sunni, or Ahmadiyya. Islamists do not belong to any certain group. Muslim is Muslim and nothing more. The conflict between the Shi’a and the Sunnis frequently occurs in Bangladesh. For your sort of information, it is not a topic for discussion in this nation. The global discussion that Islam is suffering from is evident. Humans are extremely ungrateful and self-centered. As a result, we use Islam as a banner to get people’s concern and show us as great Islamic followers in our society even though we are the lair people who are destroying common people’s soft faith in Islam. It is important to know who is Shia in Islam.

According to Council on Foreign Religion, Shias, a term that stems from shi’atu Ali, Arabic for “partisans of Ali,” believes that Ali and his descendants are part of a divine order. If someone observes the activities of the Shia community, he will find out a big gap in it. Actually, they are a separate group who are respecting the Great Shahaba in Islam Hazrat Ali (R). By showing respect they have forgotten the main and fundamental tasks of Islam. For instance, they have made their individual calling system (Azan) which is considered a big sin. Moreover, they are striving to establish their faith where Hazrat Ali is getting more priority than the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).Similarly, Ahmadiyya is another group that claims that they are the original followers of Islam and pure Muslims. But, they don’t follow the teachings of the last messenger of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad, peace be upon him (PBUH). They, on the other hand, believe that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is the last messenger of the Islamic faith.

According to Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamat, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes in the Messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian. 

However, like Shia or Ahmadiyya, there are 73 sects in Islam on this earth, and every sect is following its created ideologies, even though Allah forbids the creation of any group in Islam. According to Tirmizi (Hadidth Book), before Kiyamat (the last day of the world), 73 sects will be created, among them 72 sects will be gone to Hell without a group who will follow the Holy Book Al-Quran and the teachings of the last messenger, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).” Lastly, your practicing & following will say which group of Islam is yours.
