Differences in the Islamic organization

On the differences of opinion in Islam


There was never the difference, it was man made. If there's something man-made in each religion then this is the part made by man of Islam. Sunnis and Shias, sects that were never part of a revelation because part of the religion. So strong this difference became that lives were taken on both sides and the tolls reveal a shocking truth. 


If there's anything about the religion of Islam today, not the pure original one, which is worth laughing and crying at, it's the sectarian violence. I would like to draw a simple example that can make things match although not exactly. India and Pakistan were a single nation, all it took a conqueror to make them kill each other is to draw an invisible line and say: "Here's your land, and there's yours". Millions died, and billions suffered. 


It's easy to break things down and hard to build them. It's easy to go to the Sunnis and create further sects within themselves and make them argue their differences, but it's super hard to unite them and make them live peacefully. 


Let's move to science and look for answers. Thermodynamics is a good example that tells a true tale of our reality, the laws are simple and yet powerful. One law says that things tend towards disorder, and in order to achieve order we need to exert work. 


Yes, and the case here is simple, all groups in the world and each and every organization follows the same path, they all tend to vanish and not exist, but what keeps them alive is the work done by its members to make it stay. A basic example could be that Microsoft stays in the market if its people suddenly went on a strike for a month... It would disappear and suffer a great loss, however, this doesn't happen because its people are paid well to not stop the "work". 


The work required in Islam is called "Juhd" in Arabic, and this does not imply exploding in a crowd as people may think. It's simply making an effort to keep the religion alive, or else it would simply die out. It doesn't mean longer beards, nor does it mean darker veils. It's purely doing and practicing being good and stopping self from committing harmful acts towards self and others. 


These are the fundamental facts that support the tendency of an organization to exist or not. This law applies equally to the religion of Islam. It's easier to break it, especially if its followers are the non practicing type. It's harder to regroup it because that's the way things go. 


Those that are guilty are hard to find, history is full of them. But, with a little effort it can be found.
