Becoming a Moslem Which Sect Shall be Chosen?

Being aware that as per today there are 4 main sect within the moslem community, then one of a friend asked: “If the prophet Mohammed is living back today, probably which sect will be chosen by Him?”

That kind of question was wrong, in fact, it is not the prophet Mohammed who shall follow a specific sect, on the contrary the opinion and view of each sect which should follow the prophet Mohammed saw. So, then the answer of such question above is: “The prophet Mohammed saw will not follow any of the sects, but on the contrary the sheikh and ulema of each sect who should follow the interpretation and view of the prophet Mohammed saw whom its righteneous had been guaranteed by Allah swt, because he is ma’sum, which is always be guided by Allah swt against any kind of wrong view and interpretation.” That was why all of us as moslem people are required to obey fully to Allah swt and also to him.

قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
“Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Quran and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (QS 3:31)

Hence, now if the prophet Mohammed saw live again amongst us in the middle of moslem people today, and he would not ever follow any of the sect, so then why do we as his followers not doing like what he would do?

It has been the responsibility to every Islamic religious leaders and ulema nowadays, to ask for guidance and directions form Allah swt, so then we as moslem people today will be able to refer back to example being taught by Rasulullah saw. Freeing up from any discrepancies, wrong understandings or incorrect propositions. Those are all parts of the responsibility of the Islamic religious leaders and ulema. If such tasks are not done, then Allah swt will ask for their responsibility in the after life.

Stopping at the point of view which had ever being concluded by the sects leader is something which is wrong. Because such thing is similar with letting this moslem people splitted in many different understandings and opinion amongst the four main sects today. Something which is far away from the goals aimed by Rasulullah saw in building the unity of Islamic people in this world. (AK/ST)
