Muslim Schism: How Islam Split into the Sunni and Shia Branches

Chill

"Death with honor is better than a life of degradation" - Hussain Ibn Ali

"Seeking justice left me with no friends" Imam Ali.

Not even Muslim and the story of Husayn still makes me cry.

Born in a sunni family. But after reading more and more about islam. I have to say that "ALI" was the rightful successor of Muhammad pbuh. ❤️

They knew the risk of killing the prophet's grandson. They did it anyways.

Learned a lot from this one. As an European and Christian, it's wonderful to have such a topic described this way. Never knew why Muslim women did that gesture of mourning, and the sign of respect towards some of these pivotal figures by subsequently mentioning "Peace be upon him" after saying their names. Easy to love this channel. Happy Ramadan to all Muslims.

One thing that is interesting for me is that, Ali and his sons, Hasan and Husein, have never been dictators, they didn't want to achieve political power in any cost, they always considered people, I think they were the men of democracy in their own time and situation.

It's a little embarrassing to get this far without knowing about such a pivotal event in world history. Thank you for shedding light.

I feel bad for Ali and his sons. They were brave and honest men

I am a muslim, yet I never learned about this at school. And now I've held a master degree. This channel is a blessing in disguise. No channel has ever covered this topic in detail before. God bless this channel and its patrons.

You forget to mention what went on after Karbala. Karbala incident was not just massacre of Ali's family but it went on to Yazid imprisoning the females and children of Ali's family, Hussein's daughter died in the prison in Damascus. The wedge kept going on because Shia muslims stood behind rest of Ali's family including the eldest son of Hussein, Zain-ul-Abideen (the only male survivor after Karbala). This continued the Ahu-al-Bait (family of Prophet) who were supported by Shia and Caliphate that was supported by Sunni for later years.

Hold firmly to the rope of Allah together and do not become divided. Quran - 3:103

Ali known for being the bravest and strongest warrior in his generation. He never fought under any commandment after the prophet's death (think why)... Also did not start a civil war in Madina to regain his stolen position. He always put Islam interest first. A true leader. My leader.

Even though I am Hindu the story of imam Hossain brings me to tears. Though he was on the right side he lost the war. May God grant him peace forever.

I was born sunni. Never understood plight of shias..... But when i learned the story, i feel that the shias have a legitimate beef. Now i have love for shias and side with them.

As a shia convert from sunni Islam, I would say that anyone who study the history can see clearly that Imam Ali a.s was the rightful successor of the holy prophet (s). Anyone who feigns neutrality after seeing the facts are behaving just like those people who after knowing about genocide in gaza still say 'oct 7'.

Islamic schism happen Christianity: hey, i've seen this one, it's a classic!

Having many people around me does not increase me in strength, nor does standing alone make me feel forlorn. Imam Ali (AS)

((People are of two types: either your brother in religion or your equal in creation)) Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him.
