The Ponderer

Allah commands us to hold firmly to the rope of Allah and not become divided. Yet today Islam is fractured into countless sects. What does the Quran really say about Sunni, Shia, and division?

Allah tells us to follow the Light that was sent down with Muhammad. That Light is the Quran — one source, one guidance, one straight path.
