Druz are Muslims!
Where do Quranists fit in this elaborate denominational tree?

Islam means to submit to will of ALLAH for peace . Islam for human began with Prophet Adam sallallahu alaihi wasallam and ended on PROPHET MUHAMMAD SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM. Don't spread lies. Historians who don't believe in Quran and sahih sunnah don't have any right do say what ever they want. And Al Islam is not even a religion it's a part of religion. It's called religion of Islam not Islam as a religion. There are differences.
Al Islam, Al IMAAN, Al EHSAAN and Al saah are part of truth. Or religion of truth.
Can we download a copy of this chart??
Just to clarify. These aren’t really denominations or sects, they are more schools of thought on how to interpret certain things, not really on theological beliefs or anything like that.
Thank you for this comment ❤
But sunni and shia are different tho. Even have different way to pray.
@@nyah_tan all Sunni madhhab pray differently
Burning books and killing critics helped Islam in not having many denominations. We will never know if the Islam that is practiced today is the same as the one practiced by the first Khalifs (leaders of Mohammed Islamic State) or even the so called Last Prophet
There is no denomination in Islam
I have a funny experience relating to difference between school of Jurisprudence. See, I am a Sunni Muslim and i followed Shafii school (i came from Indonesia). But i did stay for academic purpose in Turkey (which mostly followed Hanafi school). My story regarding how they do the morning prayer (Shubh or Fajr).
Firstly, i explained the range of morning prayer. Usually it went before dawn up into exactly first light of sunrise (usually between 4AM to 6 AM). Now. Most of Shafii school would do the prayer as early as possible (so, basically 4 AM). now, anyone who wake at 4 AM would certainly still doozed of at some point. So when i prayed at the mosque. Usually i just pray and would either sleep on the mosque or go home (the sermon was rarely held during this time). So basically, i sleep again after i pray.
However in Hanafi school, most of them don't really care when you pray as long as it still in time range. And for morning prayer, they would do as late as 5.30 AM. So first time i wake up early and prepare to pray, i was surprised they didn't immediately pray and doing sermon instead. And since usually i was sleeping again at that time, i just doozed of untill prayer calling (and even then i was awoken by an elder near me). Now if you were sound asleep and somebody immediately waking you up, usually you lose some sense and balance. So i was praying but half asleep. And suddenly BAM. I fall afront and hit some people in front of me (kinda like dominos). It was shameful of me (especially since i am foreigner to them) and literally asking pardon to everyone in mosque. 😅😅 truly a never forgetable experience
Even in Shafi we dont care lol. There are regional and cultural differences on the implementation and focus of each madhab.
Lol that would very embarrassing
Lucu bang
Lol
Lol
Awesome experience
Please make one of this on Buddhist schools❤
Motion seconded.
3rd please. As someone who studying religions it's really nice to understand this very important information on all major religions not just Abrahamic and in many cases only Christianity being covered.
Fourthed
Hinduism will be next but yeah, I'll probably do Buddhism too.
@@UsefulCharts Yeah!!!
I'm born into a muslim family and raised as one, but to be honest I don't really have that much knowledge about other denominations. I didn't even know for the longest time that there's more than one. Looking forward to learning more.
Bro what? Literally every muslim knows there are 4 school of thoughts/jurisprudence in Islam. Well I can't really blame you if you haven't gone to madarsah or homeschooled by your parents about your religion.
Same, I basically knew I was raised Sunni and knew of the existence of Shias, but that's it, so when my dad sometimes disagreed with my mom's family's opinions using denominations I was clearly lost X) I think I get it better now thanks to this video, even though I'm no longer personally impacted
Because not a big difference between the 4 ways in sunni islam and absolutly no difference in the fondamentals of the religion , i was thought that i'm a maliki in morocco but the way i was standing in prayer is shafi'i way and nobody noticed so yeah not a very big problem for us ,in fact the 4 scholars imam malik is the teacher of al shafii and he the teacher of ibn hanbal etc
@@just-some-muslim When all the 'religion' lessons you've ever received in your Muslim-majority country just teaches you about how you're supposed to live as a Muslim and not much else, and everyone else you've met basically follow the same denomination or just local ones, you can definitely grow up not realizing that there are a lot more stuff than what you see around you :)
@@silmiha5239 Let me guess you're from Iran?
You forgot to mention that Shafi'i fiqh is predominant in the Indian Ocean coastal areas and Southeast Asia countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, etc). In Brunei, the constitution specifically mention "Shafeite sect" of Islam as the country's official religion.
Also in Yemen, Sudan and northern Iraq (or in Kurdistan)
Somalia too
egypt also many syafie
In Bangladesh 🇧🇩, Hanafi madhab is popular
Most of the peoples dont have madhzab. They only associated themselves to certain degree of interpretation but not in all. For example most people in southeast asia only take syafie in prayer and thoharoh but in zakat, haj and banking they have taken hanafis. For responsibility in marriage they took Ibn Taimiyah.
A few notes:
-ISIS are considered kharijites by most muslims.
-The 'sunni' schools of jurisprudence aren't really a division, and you can follow whichever one makes the most sense to you.
-The term 'sunni' is usually just used when talking about the sunni-shia divide, otherwise they are just called muslims which is exactly what the Quran orders us to call ourselves:
{Strive for ˹the cause of˺ Allah in the way He deserves, for ˹it is˺ He ˹Who˺ has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion-the way of your forefather Abraham. ˹It is Allah˺ Who named you the muslims (the ones who submit) ˹in the˺ earlier ˹Scriptures˺ and in this ˹Quran˺, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and hold fast to Allah. He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!} Noble Quran 22;78
{Indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not responsible whatsoever for those who have divided their faith and split into sects. Their judgment rests only with Allah. And He will inform them of what they used to do.} 6;159
He probably wouldn't care
I think you'll understand why everyone else in the world uses the word Sunni.
@@ems4884 they're Muslims, there's only Muslim or non Muslim
ISIS =
israrli secret intelligence service
That's a biased way of looking at it. I am sure the Shias would disagree.
the fact that 90% of Muslims are Sunni and less than 10% are Shia finally answers my life-long question (that I never bothered to look up) of why I've never met a Shia while always knowing that the two 'biggest' groups of Islam are Sunnis and Shias
There is no Sunni or Shia etc. Islam is only one
There is no denomination in Islam
15% are shia,I am a shia. so your journey end right now (i guess)
@@jump_kid Shia is not Islam
@@AswinLubis-bq4pw
Lamo, any new hadith
Would have loved to see also a reference to the Hui Muslim Schools, especially since they have been historically pretty relevant during the Chinese Warlord period.
Hui is indeed a very special one. They mostly followed Sunni doctrines and rules, but due to heavy Iranian influence throughout the history, Hui have some strong Shia elements as well.
That's more of an ethnic identity like with Sephardic or Ashkenazi Jews, since their culture and doctrines have been influenced by Chinese history and culture.
@@lucinae8510 Yes and no. I'm not actually talking about the Hui as a denomination. I'm talking about how they divide themselves in three "sects": yihewani, gedimu and xidaotang. It seems to me that which school one belongs to is really important to them.
The Hui are mostly descendants from the Silk Road trade - A mix race of all different races involve in the Silk Road Trade.
They are in a way called Muslims (Some Sects rejects them because of their mix religious philosophy), but their religious writings books influenced in Han writing characters and also influenced by Confucius teachings. It also made them another target by other Sects and Tribal violence in the region (You could find them in history that their alliance are mainly with China's Emperors as the Emperors guarantee their autonomy as long as they serve the Emperors as their Vassals - The reason was to have protection from Sectarian and tribal violence among the region)
Also not forgot to mention: Some of the ancient Hui Mosque were built like Chinese Temples with 2 Dragons on top. (You could google and find it.)
Huis typically follow Hanafi school.
People you should know that Ja'afari's founder teacher(Jaafar al Sadiq/the honest) was the teacher of more than half these school-founder jurists notably the Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanafi. He is the 6th righteous Imam of the ummah.
Edit: sorry but the other schools of thought and jurisprudence are just a progeny of the Political tyrannical Establishment of the Time, all of those (non-Shias) became to be known as Ahlul Sunnah by Ibn Taymiyya in the Mamelouk Era (11th-12th centuries)
He actually taught them them all directly or indirectly subhanAllah
it is worthy to mention that, Allah’s religion is ONE.
The Shia believe that just as Moses had the 12 tribes and just as Jesus had the 12 apostles, Muhammed had the 12 Imams.
12 Tribes with Moses
12 Apostles with Jesus
12 Imams with Muhammed
Thank you again
@@sarmadaqrawi8064 ok but no actually but what's your point?
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Excellent job everyone who was involved with this video. Top notch work everyone.
follow adam seeker to know more about islam
Very thoughtfully put together. You know what to not include, and how much to include. Which is why this episode has immense clarity. Very well done. Congratulations.
I’m actually quite impressed. Very well-explained video. I was expecting a lot of biased opinions and tone like a lot of people do when talking about Islam…but this was very informative and factual. I can tell you’ve done a lot of research on this.
hello! how is it going?
Usually educational videos are pretty respectful and are not biased
The Quran claims Jesus was never crucified (4:157), but all the church fathers and christians 600 years before Islam believed Jesus was crucified. Paul also says he was crucified
Source
First Epistle Of Clement (90ad) by Pope clement (90ad)
1 Cor 2:1-2
1 Cor 1:23
etc
@@DontGoToHellthe Quran came later on after the death of Jesus to clarify that Jesus didn’t die but that it was made apparent that he did. With this you could understand that we don’t care if people believed that he died or not because it doesn’t effect their salvation as long as they followed his teachings. The reason why Christian’s do care so much about it and is trying so hard to prove it is because if Jesus didn’t die then their whole religion would crumble because they believe that with the death of Jesus he took away the original sin of Adam eating from the tree. This doesn’t mean that he won’t die though. We Muslims believe that when the day of judgement is close and the dajjal(anti-Christ) comes, with the help of imam mehdi, jesus will descend and kill him bringing justice and end to corruption that was caused by the dajjal and then Jesus will die.
As a man from the US, raised Christian, who happens to be Black, I am intrigued and enlightened by this scholarly work. I have long wondered how people who claim the same geographical location as their birthplace or Holy Land are so distant and even hate the people who would have to be family? I am a person who strives for peace, in this lifetime. If that is to happen, we all have understand these divisions and strive to make peaceful debate to live and thrive together. Thank you for this, as I had no idea about the diversity that exists in the Muslim faith. It has encouraged me to learn more. Peace.
as a white European Muslim, I have long wondered how Americans who colonised the same geographical location can have such different christian sects and claim to all love Jesus and that he taught in the bibles, that his followers should also love their enemies but in reality christians have slaughtered countless people including their own christian family or brothers in faith because of certain political, theological, nationalistic and other reasons.
@@muslimresponse103 and that is fact. I make no apologies for it. My only resolve is that I will not practice or preach ignorance of another's religion or faith as a reason to hate or mistrust. Until the final day, when I pray all will be revealed, I and others could have it all wrong. I will not group people together to be reviled and I choose to take each individual on their own practices. I will not hate one on the color of ones skin or the garments one wears, as I would not want to be hated for outward appearance. My heart believes where the flesh fails. Peace.
@@muslimresponse103 the crusades were in direct response to genocidal Muslim expansionism. It went unchecked for an extremely long time until eventually the Christian west rallied to fight back against the warmongering Islam.
Over time the popularity of Christianity has made it a target to progressive ideals to undermine and we’ve spent decades being reprogrammed to believe the crusades were unprovoked genocidal rampages. Research the first crusade and see that Christianity was at peace and was being massacred in droves by Muslims. It took a lot to rally people to go to war with Islam.
The crusades were a good thing. Not all of them… not all people of any group are good. But for the most part, the crusades were a necessity.
I’m not even catholic and can admit that!
@@muslimresponse103Islam is the same way.
The rise of Isis, Taliban and other Islamic terrorist networks.
This isn’t even mentioning the past. Where Muslims often enslaved non Muslims.
Even the prophet Mohammed enslaved and massacred a Jewish tribe; Banu Qurayza.
And the prosecution of Ibadi and Ahmadi Islamic sects.
Christians today aren’t fighting each other and religious violence between Christians died out around 1600.
There also hasn’t been any religious violence in colonized lands if your talking about Canada, Australia, United States and that even if you include the wider African colonies that were Christianized.
@@muslimresponse103 You have no clues about Islam then, because the Qu'ran allows for slavery and rape. Do you have no clue about what Islam did to India?
*Wife's, mother's, sisters, and daughters can be raped and sold off even if married because they become property for Jihad.*
And [also prohibited to you are all] married women *except those your right hands possess.* [This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. Qu'ran 4:24
Can't wait to learn a bit of Arabic, as a guy with very little exposure to Islamic cultures, I found it a bit difficult to follow these beautifully pronounced names. Wish me luck!
Good luck 😄
If you take other people's advice; stay away
only natives can spell them correct
Good luck and trying to learn Arabic will let you read some Islamic books wither Islamic history or Islamic laws etc... So you can ( if you want ) understand islam and the main sects and their thoughts
@@starcapture3040that’s not correct. Plenty of foreigners have learned Arabic. And anyone with a basic understanding of the alphabet can pronounce the names.
Syawish, you *DEFINITELY* nailed it!
To be honest, I wish this was more comprehensive. A lot of laymen Muslims get confused with all these kinds of labels, and it would’ve been helpful to address a lot of them that weren’t mentioned like “Madkhalis” “Ikhwanis” “Hizbis” “Qubooris” along with the Sufis etc.
Most of the terms thrown around today are just variants of Salafis 99% of the time. There is no need to expand Salafis because the divisions and name-calling can go on forever.
Ikwani refers to members of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan-al-Muslimeen) or anyone with similar mindset
Hizbi refers to any member of Hizb-ut-Tahrir or such a mindset
Quboori refers to anyone who asks for intercession in front of a grave
Madkhalis emerged after Gulf War 1 saying no one should criticize the Saudi Regime for allowing American Military Bases on the land. This was opposed to the Sahwa who believed in a relatively Democratic approach
I'm proud suufi
@comb528491 There are also Qutubis
I don't think it was supposed to be as comprehensive as you want. It's a good overview of Islam 101 that is still comprehensible to non-Muslims.
3:54
FUN FACT: "Tawhid" can also be translated into Ge'ez as "Tewahedo" which is used for naming the Eritrean and Ethiopian Orthodox churches.
That's probably because Ge'ez and Arabic (and Hebrew and Aramaic) are all sister-languages in the Afro-Asiatic family (in the branch known as the Semitic languages); _Tawhid_ and _Tawahedo_ are cognates of each-other
That makes sense, Ge'ez and Arabic are both Afro-Asiatic Semitic languages
tauheed is word used by Scholars to define the concept of Strict Oneness of GOD , ahad is the root word , which means Only One not a second there is also another word used for one in arabic which is Wahid But Wahid is used when there is another number two but the beautiful thing about Ahad word is it has no partner word it literally meaning is one and only with Out second
Another interesting fact about islam and Ge'ez is that the names of desciples of Jesus in the Quran is called 'hawari or hawariyoon'
The Ge'ez likewise are called 'hawaris'
This name of the desciples of Jesus does not appear in anywhere else other than Quran and Ge'ez.

We Christians do believe in just one good he is one in his Essence but manifesting three persons Father Son and Holy Spirit it doesn't mean three Gods it means one God in his Essence one God in who he is but he happened to come at different times to different people in different persons
As a fan of both Al Muqaddimah and Matt, I was so hyped to click on this video and hear Syawish!!! Great video, and well explained!!!
I mean,I'm actually a fan of him.
I looked at the thumbnail and title and wondered why Matt didn't collab with Muqaddimaah on this
The shock when it was actually him 😂
This is so helpful!!! Ive been wanting to understand better!
OMG great video You explain super detailed and super easy to grasp. Bless you!
At first I was irritated because I expected Matts voice but I understand why it might be better to have this explained by someone who has a closer connection to the topic.
Thank you for this, I am always astonished how much more there is to learn about all these different religions.
I really appreciated the different voice as it can really affect how many of the Islamic words can sound especially if you are not a fluent speaker.
@@WildflowersCreationsthe person in this video is a Pakistani and probably doesn’t know how to speak Arabic or at least is not native to the Arabic language and if anything a person who is fluent in Hebrew would normally be better at pronouncing Arabic words because the two languages are both semitic and modern Hebrew was mainly revived and formed using Arabic grammar.
edit: the reason Matt did this was probably to make his channel seem unbiased and have Muslims be more accepting of the video.
@@muslimresponse103 Thank you for this info.
@@muslimresponse103 Bro, Urdu (Pakistani Language) can pronounce arabic pretty effectively. Dk tf you on about
@@muslimresponse103 Modern Hebrew is somewhat similar to Arabic, but its most spoken dialect lost a lot of phonemic distinctions that Arabic maintains, so I'd call the similarity superficial. Some off the top of my head:
- Lost the glottal plosive and pharyngeal fricative distinction
- Lost the distinction between emphatic and non-emphatic /t/ and /s/
- Lost phonemic vowel length (regained, but still not really as interactive with the triconsonantal root system as it is in Arabic)
- Lost phonemic consonant length (resurfaces as fricatization)
Also has the very European uvular rhotic that Arabic lacks.
So yeah, just about as similar as maybe Spanish might sound to Italian to a person who is unfamiliar with either.
I absolutely love these denominations videos

What about Speed and Luck stats?
This is such an interesting take on the notion of what constitutes "denominations" or, more appropriately, schools in other religions as not simply being a difference of core principles but as differences in the practical and theological differences.
A few notes about Shia:
1. The majority of Iranians are Usuli Shia, so nowadays the Usuli is the dominant subgroup of twelvers, not the Akhbari (Akhbari Lost dominance a few centuries ago)
2. A considerable number of Seveners are still living in the south east of Iran.
Shia is not Islam
I have a question about Iranians. I understand the majority of Iranian Shias are Ethnic Persians. I read a long time back that the leadership of Iran that came to power after the Shah, are mainly Arabic ethnicity. Is this correct?
@@unrealuknow864 no, they're not. They are far descendants of Prophet Muhammad, but so are millions of others in many other countries! Khamenei (leader of Iran) is ethnic iranian turk from the northwest if Iran.

Thank you. This was a helpful overview.
a most excellent and educational video. you answered all my questions and gave me new questions. ty
Hello, could you make a historical timeline/chart/family tree for the philosophers of ancient Greece and their schools of thought? I found it very interesting, studying ancient Greek philosophical history, not only how various thoughts from various philosophers influenced different people later on and tracing back the roots of different ideas, but I also found it very interesting seeing, how different philosophers carry on the ideas of their teachers or their inspirations, to start up their own new schools which then lead to another set of pupils who start their own schools in turn creating a tree of different philosophical schools.
An example of this would be Socrates, who taught that the beginning of wisdom is that the only thing you know is that you know nothing, and that the highest good in life is virtue. And so he taught the students Xenophon, Plato, Antisthenes, Aristippus, Alcibiades and so forth. And those followers in turn created their own schools of thought, that being Plato, Antisthenes and Aristippus, with the schools of Platonism, Cynicism and Cyrenaicism. They had their own students too in turn who created schools of thought like the Peripatetic school, Stoicism and Epicureanism (which were founded by Aristotle, Zeno of Citium and Epicurus in this order).
Very cool and great info as always. I love learning about the reasons and history of the different groups within a religion.

Shafii is popular in Southeast Asia. You know, there are more than 230 million of them. It's even larger than Maliki or, let alone, Hanbali.

Good summary.
Just a note to non-muslims. Fiqh differences are more of a differrence in practices rather than theological. Differences between madhabs come from the different methodology they use to arrive at conclusions. However, they overlap more than they differ, and even when it comes to prayer, it is some details rather than a fundemental divergence. Muslims pray almost the same all around the world.
Video is nicely summed up and the beginning about how it's hard to say these are denomination is very true. In sunni islam it doesn't play much of a role and 4 madhabs and 3 theological schools are considered orthodoxy, hence why we didn't really have religious wars like the christian Europe had.
Shias believe the Qur'an is corrupted. Shias believe in many things like these. Don't even believe anyone else than your prophet. They even curse the names of their companions. You are still living in delusion when you say that the core sects never fought with each other because their battles within the same religion should be greatest as Sunnis persecute Shias till today in the countries where Sunnis are in majority.
i think you are misguided, radical sunnis almost always call for violence toward shia, and common sunni stance is that shia are not islam. maybe you live in a isolated place but in the core of middle east sects brutaly fight to the death. i think you must be from indonessia or some far away place that is far from the mainstream parts of islamic world, because the sects fight wars currently, the christians havent had any inter faith wars in like 50+ years while the sects here kill still to this day unfortunately. maybe one day islam will stop the inter faith wars but unfortately what your saying is not true. christians used to have intersect wars but now that is not the case, unfortunately islam current has a lot of sectarian violence. isis just bombed iran, and vice versa, syria is daily killing, yeme vs saudi genocide, etc. you are misinformed friend. sunni islam and christianity are living together in north middke east peacefully, and shia and christians seem to get along in egypt. in egypt sunni fight christians but shia have made interrelious peace with the christians in egypt, in north middle east the sunni have made peace with christians, and many small sects like alwaites , druze etc but the shia and sunni fight to the death. someone from some isolated pocket of islam in pakistan north africa or indonesia might falsly belive that islam doesnt have infighting wars but in reality this is far from the truth. islam has a huge sectarian war problem right now, while most other faiths have given up on the fighting, i really hope this ends
@@robo8478you seem to be non middle eastern
I am middle eastern and he is right
On the ground the differences are really minimal, I live in the US and was surprised how different Christian churches are
@@robo8478 I am from Egypt and I never killed a Christian lol
Both parties got some extremist and there are few cases of violence every decade, but we are living together in total peace. even the cases we believe that the gov is behind it, usually to hide something
And yes, we have a problem with Shia, actually it more political and related to dominance more then religious. As you can see Iran is trying to dominate and finding loyalty in a lot of Arabian countries buy exporting Shia
Regarding IsIs, we all know they are from Islam. the question why they appeared, who trained them? who used them and for what purpose? and where are they now? Those question may shed some lights on this weird group
@@robo8478@robo8478 What are you talking about? Christianity had a lot more interfaith wars than Muslims, and it is not even comparable. Also, I live in USA and as a Muslim I can go to any Mosque and pray, it would not matter. With Christians, Catholics have their own church, Protestants their own Church, Lutherans their own church. In Islam, it doesn't matter. There are really only two significant subdivisions: Sunni and Shias.
Please, more of this Topic! Thank you so much
Hey
I quickly checked the school of jurisprudence that is prominent in Indonesia (because it is usually left out of conversations about Islam) and found out that they follow mainly the Shafi’i school of law
Shafi'i school of law is predominant in Southeast Asia as a whole - a vast majority of Southeast Asian Muslims are Shafi'i, with a very small number of Hanafi-rite mosques scattered around.
Only Myanmar Muslims, I think, may not be a majority Shafi'i demographic - given their links to the Indian subcontinent (but Muslims in southern Myanmar who are Malays are connected to the Shafi'i): but other countries in Southeast Asia, either the Muslim-majority or the non-Muslim majority ones, have Shafi'i school as the predominant school in their Muslim community.
@w4lr6s yes. Islam was brought to southeast asia by sea route from yemen or somalia. That's why the shafii school appears also in maldives, sri lanka, and southern coast of india. Meanwhile in northern myanmar, islam came from land route from india or Bangladesh
@@yusufahmadi the Hui Muslims in Chiang Mai too I believe are Hanafis
@@w4lr6sTurkic states and South Asian is Hanafite . South East Asia is Shafai Arabia is Hunbali and Maghreb/NorthAfrica is Maliki

A great intro to people who aren't as familiar with these denominations, including myself..
Even as a lifelong muslim I learned so much from this video! Having come from Indonesia, where most muslims just consider themselves to be "non-denominational muslims" - though unknowingly fall under the Shafi'i madhhab
Indonesians, their denominations for fiqh is Shafi'ei, the aqidah or creed is Ash'ari. And in tasawwuf they followed Junaid Al-Baghdadi. Nowadays in 20th century with the arrivals of Wahhabites (Neo-Pseudo-Salafi), they tend to forget who their ancestors denominations are.
Shafei school countries : Egypt, Somali, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Djibouti

Great Work !
Not sure if the Chart is published yet but it would be nice to include:
1. Kaysanites as a 4th divsion of Shiism. Although they are extinct now they factored heavy in the 2nd Fitna with Mukhtar Al-Thaqafi being their leader and their mission for vengeance for Karbala. They should at least get mention.
2. Slight mistake about Akhbaris being a higher percentage of Twelvers than Usulis. It's the opposite. It may have been true during the Safavid dynasty but in the modern day it's reversed.
3. Maybe add other Sunni schools of Fiqh that are now extinct like Awzai, Laythi, Jariri, Thawri in addition to the Zahiri just to be more comprehensive and show that the main 4 aren't the only ones during the golden age, they were just the ones that withstood the test of time.
4. Add The Muslim Brotherhood to the Sunni Revivalist Movements Chart. I feel they they are a must mention.
5. In Addition to the Druze and Baha'is. Maybe show how the Yarsanism and Yazidism religions stem outta islam.
6. Forget to Mention that the Shafi'i school is the biggest in SE Asia and East Africa. As well as the Maliki school being biggest in West Africa in addition to the North. I just feel like it should be mentioned that the most populous muslim country follows the Shafi'i school.
7. Maybe add dashed lines across that show the Hanafis being tied to the Maturidis, the Hanbalis being tied to the Atharis, and the Shafi'is and Malikis being tied to the Ash'aris. I feel like pointing out that the Ash'aris are technically the biggest school of Aqidah is worth a mention.
8. Would be cool to see some of the Kharijite sects anyway. Even though they are extinct, they factored in 3/4 fitnas
9. I get the choice of leaving the Sufi Tariqas out of this, but maybe a full video explaining them?
Forgot to mention that in recent years, the Syria Government has been making attempts to push Alawites closer to Mainstream Twelverism in order to improve ties with Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. So there has been some type of internal reform movement to bring Alawites back to the fold of "mainstream Islam" and outta the "grey area"
Outstanding Work! Thank You!
this was amazing. nice work
Just don't confuse between fiqh (how to perform daily religious practices) and aqidah (one's belief or creed) as they are two different things.
Shafi Maliki, Hanafu and Hanbali are not a sect, just different schools of opinion on how to comprehend laws, their belief system (aqeedah) and methodology (manhaj) was one, which is ahlu sunnah wal jamah. They are not sects just for clarification
Simple english, simple and clearly explanation. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully explained. Thank you
Yet again.🙏🏽 Thank you for ending my ignorance I always questioned why it was hard to distinguish between Arab Politics and Muslim Religion when engaging Daily Affairs and News Headlines.
When Muslims were committed to Islamic Sharia, they were able to move from the most backward nation to the most advanced nation within decades... Now Arab and Muslim leaders have betrayed Sharia, and look where they are now.
The Quran claims Jesus was never crucified (4:157), but all the church fathers and christians 600 years before Islam believed Jesus was crucified. Paul also says he was crucified

I find it interesting how Islam and Judaism had very parallel intellectual developments around the same time. The first Islamic state under Muhammad forming in a predominantly Jewish city. Abu Hanifa's ideas having a direct inspiration on the formation of Karaite Judaism
Both had a phase of Hellenist influence with scholars reconciling Aristotlelianism and traditional theology. Maimonedes and Al Ghazali coming to similar conclusions, turning their respective schools of thoughts into the medieval orthodox.
Both had traditionalist revival movements in response to the shifting tides of European Hegemony (Haredim for Judaism, Salafiyya for Islam)
A very interesting observation. Is there a book on this parallel you could recommend?
Yes because both are monotheism
So cool, can you please make a video about this or direct me to sources where I could read more about this
I also find it interesting how both Islam and Judaism focus heavily on jurisprudence and judges/scholars providing interpretation of divine law as major features of the religion while Christianity didn't seem to follow that same path.
Love to read this
Greetings, love your chart videos. Do yall by chance create personalized charts? My wife is the principal at our local school. And I thought about having some charts made for the students. My idea was to have charts made involving specific careers and have the education and experience required enter into those career fields. An example would be: Astronaut. Then it would list the higher education needed to become an Astronaut. And then the additional experience needed. There are many fields needed: pilots, biologists, engineers, ect. I think charts with various careers like this posted up in middle schools and high schools would be great visuals for students to begin planning their careers in their early stages of education to give them inspiration and a good idea of what they need to do to follow their dreams.
Thanks in advance.
This video had by far the best transition to a sponsor I’ve ever seen
It's good to have a video that doesn't focus on anglophone denominations!
Really nice overview video, does feel like a bit of a major oversight not to at least mention that Shafi’i is the largest Madhhab in Malaysia and Indonesia (the largest Muslim majority nation in the world), though
No Denomination in Islam.
Thank you. Next please go into a chart of all the Sufi tariqas!
This video's really interesting and well made! I had a question though, where did you get the sources for all the information in the video?
Awesome video. Thank you for your insight ❤
This is an awesome video. Would you be able to make a video on at least a few of the Sufi orders, I've always been interested in the mystics of the abrahamic religions.
sufism is very complex, and its mix-mix and mix even as far as local animism tradition of the place that they're established in, i've join a sufist brotherhood once for some years, the fiqh branch is shafii and aqida branch is ashari-maturidi, the rest is complex and even me cant explain
Thank you for this video. While I'd heard many of these names and descriptors over the years, I've never really been clear on how the various branches and sub-branches of Islam came to be and how they relate to each other until now. It goes without saying that the visuals are so valuable to understanding that. I know there's probably still more in terms of groupings and distinctions that can be identified, but for a non-Muslim like me who has had only beginner-level exposure to any of this history, it's a really good resource that I'll likely watch a few more times.
"As an Islamic researcher, I want to clarify that there is a lot of inaccuracies in this research."
This was so helpful. I have tried to understand all of this for so long.
Can I pay you for this?
Can you explain the Mutakalamun? I understand them to be a Muslim subgroup of some sort, but there was also a group of Jews who adapted these ideas into Judaism, and remained entirely Jewish while absorbing the "key" ideas. Indeed they were known as Jewish Mutakalamun.
On of their greatest critics within Judaism was Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, known also as Maimonides. He lived in Golden Age Cordoba and Cairo/Fustat and participated deeply in the academics of the time. He is one of the pre-eminent Jewish writers of all history and the key spokesman for rationalism within Judaism. In his day, he had many opponents - some Jewish authorities saw him as apostate, although today he's a pillar of all Jewish thought.
So what did they teach?
Mutakallimun refers to anyone who used Kalam, or rationalist theology. This refers to the Mutazilites, Ash'arites, and Maduridis
@@comb528491 Thank you!! This gives me a huge clue as to what they (and their Jewish analogs) were doing... and I appreciate the homework assignment. I have to wonder what Maimonides disliked about their teachings since he, too, was preoccupied by the task of harmonizing what he saw as the two great bodies of truth: religious revelation and Aristotelian philosophy. But now that I'm on the trail, thanks to you, perhaps I can puzzle that out.
Presumably he objected to something in their methodologies or results - because by your definition, he was effectively one of them (within Judaism).
But of course, there is no rivalry like sibling rivalry....
This helps to explain to us non religious folk so of the confusing things we hear and see in the media. Sadly it still seems to come down to "my way is the only way"
it depends on the individual, those who are genuine and sincerely look for the truth, will find it and change insha’Allah.
I used to hate Salafis or as their enemies call them Wahabis but now I am one myself after research and prayer! Alhamdulillah
every religious/ideological or political group is like that though not just Muslims and Islam! “my way is the only way”.
@muslimresponse103 Not every religion does this. There are many religions that don't proselytise and conversion is difficult, there are many that are completely closed and you have to be born into them. It's just that the religions that say "my way is the only way" are the largest thanks to proselytising, although historically many conversions were forced or coerced, and they are also the loudest.
@@angelawossname just because a religion does not proselytise does not mean that they accept all other gods or religions to be true. that was my point! that all religions say that their belief is right and others are wrong.
@@Jess-737 I was talking about organised religions with actual theologies not pagan cults and even the pagans rejected other gods and only believed in their own idols. look at the vikings and their hatred towards the christians and their human god Jesus. there are many other examples of pagans rejecting other idols and worshipping only their idols and going to war over these idols. buddhists and others also believe that their way is right and other religions are wrong. no religion teaches that all religions are right. it would be impossible anyways! not all religions can be right because they contradict each other.
@muslimresponse103 it does mean that they think that their way isn't the only way, though, and they aren't forcing their beliefs on others, which is the most important thing. To expect anyone to think that all religions are right is just ridiculous. My father's culture doesn't proselytise, but they do accept converts. My mother's culture is completely closed. They think their beliefs are right for them and only them, but they also think that other practises are right for other people. You know and understand very little outside your own cultural practises and are projecting your own beliefs onto others.
This was so useful thank you
I waited so long for this video 👍 thank you
Being born into a large South African 🇿🇦 Sunni Muslim Family. I really appreciate this thank you. In my part of the country Hanafi and Safi are the 2 Schools mostly thought here. But I was raised and thought at Madrassa the Safi School of thought. Knew about the other 2, but never went into that history(I need to go brush up InshAllah 🤲). I've never met any Shias, but would like to sit down and have a conversation with them and learn about the differences. I Also know a little bit on Christianity as well. As my grandmother(mother's mother) came from a Dutch Reform/Moravian Christian background before converting to Islam. Always good to know each other's faiths/ religions☪️✝️🕎🕉️☸️✌️😉👍

I am Iranian Shia. In the last year of his life, the Prophet of Islam declared: Whoever i am his master than Ali is his master. But with a conspiracy, the right to rule of Prophet's family was usurped from them.
Thank Allah for not meeting a person insulting Abubakar and Omar along with Aisha and Hafsa. The Two wives of the Prophet and his Two closest friends.

As a fellow Catholic myself, that’s great to hear. Naturally of course, I would suggest you look into the historicity of the Bible and the early Church…only through Christ will you find eternal life. If you got any questions, I would be pleased to answer. God bless you
Ta for the video, as there are a lot of groupings mentioned that I'd never heard of before. I was wondering, though, will you be doing a separate video on the Sufi?
Your Arabic pronunciation is beautiful! And your video is pretty much accurate

I'd love to see a chart along these lines of Indo-European paganism, and seeing how religions like Norse paganism and Greco-Roman paganism relate to Hinduism and other non-Abrahamic faiths across Eurasia.
While there are clearly genetic links between various ancient polytheist religions (the Greco-Roman god Pan seems to be a version of the same Proto-Indo-European deity as the Vedic god Pushan, for example), especially those in the same language family, most of that evolution was long enough ago that EVERYTHING is speculative, lost under the shrouds of prehistory and the post-bronze-age dark ages, where we have basically no written records, and that which was written down during the bronze and stone ages was rarely narrative myths we cam directly compare and contrast. I’m sure they’ll do a chart on Hinduism at some point, but since every other branch of that tree went extinct for centuries before being “reconstructed” by the neopagan movement, we have no living traditions to draw from and fill in the gaps outside the indian subcontinent either. So making a chart that’s actually, well, “useful,” for that part of the tree would be a tall order.
@@IONATVSWell, they have done more speculative trees before, so it isn’t unprecedented. I think a far more useful version would be to focus on one or two characters who are more well-documented and who appear to be a bit more universal.
You’re right that there is no one paganism that can be traced like modern religions, but a chart comparing and contrasting various Zeus-like characters (for example) would be very interesting.
What you said. And it gets more difficult, because a lot of what we know about ancient Greek and Latin religion depends on literary sources, and it's hard to think of anyone worshipping the Olympian deities of Homer or Ovid, for example; but we know that they did, seriously. So is the Zeus of Homer the same as the Zeus of a temple sacrifice? And for the Northern gods, a lot of what we "know" is from Snorri, who is pretty certainly telling good stories, not evoking the daily experience of contact with the diving.@@IONATVS

21:19 I wish there was a video of the faces I made when I got to this part of the video. What a sucker punch! 🤣
This is some really interesting stuff.
I watched videos on a lot of these groups from Let's Talk Religion, read Mircea Eliade's Vol 1 - 3 of A History of Religious Ideas and read Henry Corbin's a History of Islamic Philosophy, so the mames of all these groups are familiar to me. I really enjoyed this video.
i wish there could have been more information on the Ibadis
From my knowledge, ibadi is closer to sunni than Shia. But for example, one of the differences is that the ibadi don't believe in the second coming of Jesus, but both sunni and Shia believe in it
@@salmaelmalah3180 Ibadi is completely different from Sunni
Ibadis believe that Uthman and Ali are apostates
This is completely unacceptable, whether for Sunnis or Shiites

There is now a movement where young Muslims do not associate themselves with Brelvi ,Deobandi etc.
As a Dutchman it's always a bit weird to see how fringe Alevism is considered to be within wider islam, since a significant part of the Dutch Muslim community consists of descendants of Turkish and Kurdish immigrants from eastern Turkey. I've had several Alevite colleagues.
They are not muslims
Alevis are chill, they're often more decent people than many Hanafis my parents and grandparents had known, despite us also being Hanafis. The whole senseless opposition between sects things is a plague within the current Muslim community.

I really like this series and i hope it continues. Since y'all have covered the three major abrahamic faiths, it would be neat to see the other Abrahamic religions and how they relate to the "big three."
how many “Abrahamic religions” are there? surely Prophet Abraham عليه السلام only had one religion!
@@muslimresponse103 I think of the Samaritans and the Druze as Abrahamic faiths and there are a few others as well.
@@muslimresponse103Islam is the idea that from Abraham, all prophets were muslim, and Christians and jews just follow broken teachings of islam,so from that pov, we are sects that broke to far from proper islam. But Abrahamic religion is a way so we can all agree we all came from Abraham.

An absolutely fair and unbiased explanation. Well done.
Not sure about that. This video is sugar coated. The Christian denominations is more disrespectful towards Christianity, all videos about Islam are not taken to the debt of a Scholar, as it would dismantle Islam’s week base. For example the interpretation of Abraham and other Prophets being Muslims is easily refuted by historians, this should be focused and emphasised.
