Q & A

What are the main reasons for the formation of Islamic sects according to the script?

The main reasons for the formation of Islamic sects are political disagreements related to *Imamah* (leadership) and theological disputes concerning *Ushuluddin* (fundamentals of faith), such as predestination versus free will and interpretations of core religious principles.

What does the term *Imamah* refer to in the context of Islamic sects?

*Imamah* refers to the leadership or succession of authority after the death of Prophet Muhammad. The disagreement over who was the rightful leader (such as whether *Ali* or others should lead) led to the formation of various sects like Shi'ah and Khawarij.

What were the main groups that emerged due to the political dispute over leadership?

The main groups that emerged from the political dispute over leadership were the Shi'ah, who believed *Ali* was the rightful successor to the Prophet, the Khawarij, who rejected peace agreements between *Ali* and *Muawiyah*, and the Murji'ah, who distanced themselves from both sides.

What distinguishes the Shi'ah group from other Islamic sects?

The Shi'ah group believes that *Ali bin Abi Talib* was the only rightful successor to Prophet Muhammad. They argue that leadership should have remained within the Prophet's family, specifically with *Ali* and his descendants.

What was the stance of the Khawarij group regarding peace negotiations during the conflict between *Ali* and *Muawiyah*?

The Khawarij opposed any peace negotiations, such as the *Tahkim* (arbitration) between *Ali* and *Muawiyah*. They believed that leadership should be based on the free choice of the Muslim community, and they rejected any form of compromise or peaceful settlement.

What is the key belief of the Murji'ah sect regarding the conflict between other groups?

The Murji'ah took a neutral stance during the conflicts between other groups. They believed that judgment over who was right or wrong in these disputes should be deferred to Allah, and they distanced themselves from taking sides.

How did the Jabariyyah sect view human free will?

The Jabariyyah sect believed that humans have no free will, as everything is predestined by Allah. They argued that all actions, both good and bad, are controlled by divine will, leaving no room for human agency.

What was the core belief of the Qadariyyah sect in contrast to the Jabariyyah?

In contrast to the Jabariyyah, the Qadariyyah sect believed that humans have free will and the ability to make independent choices. They argued that humans are responsible for their actions and have control over their own fate.

What philosophical stance did the Mu'tazilah group take regarding human actions?

Who were the main scholars associated with the development of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah, and what was their contribution?

The key scholars associated with the development of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah were *Abu Hasan al-Ash'ari* and *Abu Mansur al-Maturidi*. They sought to purify Islamic beliefs by returning to the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah, rejecting innovations and deviations from traditional practices.
