Sunnis pray like Shiaas??

[al-muslimah]

:salam2:
Sister i didnt say that you or we here forum users hate anyone. The rumour was spread by people of past. And thats what i heard myself too. I know , we have asked, but didnt claim anything here.

Oh i'm sorry brother. So then why is the reason for putting hands aside? If you know please share it with us. thank you

I know the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "pray like me praying". Is it compulsory to raise the hand anyway? Will it invalidate one's prayer or just incomplete? My view is why muslim used to debate on petty issues?

there are differences even between sunni muslim prayers and this has been the case since early on. the differenes of hand positions aren't contradictions but rather they result from how ppl saw the prophet (saaws) perform salaat. all of the ways are acceptable and having right aqeeda is all that matters. the madhabs are not sects or denominations nor do ppl follow the scholars whom the madhabs are named after. we all follow prophet Muhammad (saaws) and the scholars or imams were aware of their differences in certain rulings. may Allah guide us to the straight path and unite this ummah between both sunni and shias, ameen.

Akhi please dont get us wrong!! We dont hate him! our question was only why do maliks put there hands beside just as shiaas?? that was the question..and the thing that is fustrating us is about differant sects in islam when we only have only origanal one.

tyey pray like that because this is how imam malik saw the ppl pray in madinah. this is not wrong but it results from how the prophet (saaws) was seen praying and he was seen holding his arms differently at times and all are acceptable. so shia madhabs nor malkikis are wrong in this nor sinful. i noticed there is much misconceptions about some muslims and even lies. i am not calling u a liar sistet but in general. i don't like propagand and dishonesty but thereseems to be some "muslims" who bend backwards to divide and create sects. its more disturbing when some muslims don't even know the basics of islam will call shias and other muslims "kafirs". salaam aleykom sister.
