what's the difference between the houtshis and hezbollah?

To keep it relatively short and simplistic

The Houthis or AnsarAllah are a Fiver Shi'i resistance group in Yemen. They believe that the Fifth Imam was Zaid ibn Ali (a), the son of Imam Sajjad (a). Some are concerned about reviving the Zaidi imamate while some wish to implement an Islamic democracy. They primarily serve as a resistance group against the Wahhabi-supported Saleh/Hadi government, the Gulf states and Pro-western elements.

Hizbollah are a Twelver Shi'i resistance group mostly based in Southern Lebanon. Twelver Shi'as believe in the twelve divinely appointed Imams with the final one being Imam Mahdi (atfs). Unlike the Fivers, the Twelvers believe Zaid's (a) brother, Muhammad ibn Ali (a) was the fifth Imam. Created following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 82, they've functioned primarily as a resistance group against Israel, Salafist elements and US-backed interests ever since.

Schools of Islam: A Journey Through Islamic Thought and Practice

Islam, one of the world's major religions, is not a monolithic entity but rather a rich tapestry of beliefs and practices. This diversity is encapsulated in the various schools of thought within Islam, each with its unique interpretations and traditions. Understanding these schools is crucial for appreciating the multifaceted nature of the Islamic faith. This blog will explore the primary schools of Islam, their origins, key beliefs, and practices.

1. Introduction to Islamic Schools of Thought

Islam, like any major religion, encompasses a wide range of interpretations and practices. The diversity within Islam is organized into various schools of thought, each offering distinct perspectives on theological, legal, and spiritual matters. These schools have evolved over centuries, shaped by historical, cultural, and intellectual contexts.

2. Sunni Islam: The Majority Tradition

Origins and Historical Development

Sunni Islam is the largest branch of Islam, representing approximately 85-90% of Muslims worldwide. Its name derives from the word "Sunnah," which refers to the practices and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. Sunni Islam emphasizes the consensus (ijma) of the Muslim community and the importance of the hadiths (recorded sayings and actions of the Prophet).

Key Beliefs and Practices

Sunni Muslims adhere to the Five Pillars of Islam: Shahada (faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). Sunni jurisprudence is based on four major schools of thought: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, each with its interpretations of Islamic law (Sharia).

3. Shia Islam: The Path of the Imams

Origins and Historical Development

Shia Islam constitutes about 10-15% of the Muslim population. It originated from a dispute over the rightful succession of leadership after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Shia Muslims believe that Ali, the Prophet's cousin and son-in-law, and his descendants, known as Imams, are the rightful leaders.

Key Beliefs and Practices

Shia Islam places significant emphasis on the role of the Imams, who are seen as spiritual and temporal leaders endowed with divine knowledge. Key Shia practices include commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein during Ashura and the concept of Taqiyya (concealment) to protect oneself from persecution. The major Shia branches are Twelvers, Ismailis, and Zaidis, each with its theological nuances.

4. Sufism: The Mystical Path

Origins and Historical Development

Sufism, or Tasawwuf, represents the mystical dimension of Islam. It seeks a direct and personal experience of God through inner purification and spiritual practices. Sufism emerged in the early centuries of Islam as a reaction against materialism and formalism.

Key Beliefs and Practices

Sufis emphasize the importance of the heart and inner states, striving for Ihsan (excellence) in worship. Practices include Dhikr (remembrance of God), poetry, music, and dance (such as the Whirling Dervishes). Notable Sufi orders include the Qadiriyya, Naqshbandiyya, and Chishtiyya, each with its spiritual lineage and methods.

5. The Ibadi School: A Unique Perspective

Origins and Historical Development

The Ibadi school is one of the oldest Islamic sects, originating in the early Islamic period. It is distinct from both Sunni and Shia Islam and has a significant presence in Oman, parts of North Africa, and Zanzibar.

Key Beliefs and Practices

Ibadis emphasize a puritanical approach to Islam, advocating simplicity, piety, and a strong community ethic. They reject the concept of an infallible Imam and stress the importance of consensus among believers. Ibadi jurisprudence has its unique interpretations of Sharia, particularly regarding social and political issues.

6. The Ahmadiyya Community: A Modern Interpretation

Origins and Historical Development

The Ahmadiyya movement was founded in the late 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in India. Ahmad claimed to be the Mahdi and Messiah, roles traditionally reserved for the end times in Islamic eschatology. This claim led to significant controversy and opposition from mainstream Muslim groups.

Key Beliefs and Practices

Ahmadis believe in the continued spiritual guidance through their Caliphate and emphasize the peaceful propagation of Islam. They uphold the Five Pillars and Six Articles of Faith but have unique interpretations, particularly regarding the finality of prophethood. The community is known for its strong emphasis on education, humanitarian work, and interfaith dialogue.

7. The Salafi Movement: Returning to the Roots

Origins and Historical Development

The Salafi movement seeks to return to what its adherents consider the pure, unadulterated practice of Islam as observed by the Prophet Muhammad and the first three generations of Muslims (Salaf). It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to perceived moral decay and foreign influences.

Key Beliefs and Practices

Salafis advocate a strict adherence to the Quran and Sunnah, rejecting innovations (bid'ah) in religious practices. They emphasize monotheism (Tawhid) and are often characterized by a literalist approach to Islamic texts. The movement has various strands, including quietist, activist, and jihadist groups, each with its strategies for achieving their vision of Islamic purity.

8. The Modernist and Reformist Movements: Adapting to Contemporary Challenges

Origins and Historical Development

In response to colonialism, modernization, and globalization, various modernist and reformist movements have emerged within Islam. These movements seek to reconcile Islamic principles with contemporary values and challenges.

Key Beliefs and Practices

Modernists advocate for ijtihad (independent reasoning) and reinterpretation of Islamic texts to address modern issues such as gender equality, human rights, and democracy. Reformists often emphasize the importance of education, scientific progress, and interfaith dialogue. Notable figures include Muhammad Abduh, Rashid Rida, and Fazlur Rahman, whose works continue to influence contemporary Islamic thought.

Conclusion: Embracing Diversity within Unity

The diversity of schools within Islam reflects the rich and dynamic nature of the faith. While these schools differ in their interpretations and practices, they all share a common foundation in the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Understanding these differences enhances our appreciation of Islam's complexity and the ways in which it continues to evolve in response to changing historical and cultural contexts.

By embracing this diversity, Muslims around the world can find ways to unite in their shared beliefs and values while respecting the varied expressions of their faith. For non-Muslims, exploring the different schools of Islam offers a deeper insight into a religion that plays a significant role in global history and contemporary society.

I've noticed that hezbollah and the houthis are shi'as but don't seem to be like each other do you know why?

Hezbollah is a Twelver or Imami Shi'a militia/resistance group mainly operating in Lebanon. Founded on the basis of the Guardian of the Jurists (wilayat al-faqih) and on the teachings of Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, a scholar from Iraq.

Ansar Allah is a Fiver or Zaidi Shi'a militia/resistance group in Yemen. They're also referred to as Houthis, named after Hussain al-Houthi, a former member of the parliament in Yemen, until he revolted and was subsequently assassinated.

Shi'a Muslims in general believe that Ali (a) should have succeeded the Prophet Muhammed (sawas) following his death and hold that only the family of prophet in a successive line can ascend the Imamate of the Muslims. While all Shi'as believe that Ali, Hassan, Hussain and Ali II (as) were the first four Imams of Shi'a Islam, the split occurred with the fifth Imam. There have been earlier splits, however, those branches have long since died out.

Twelvers: Twelvers believe that that there are twelve infallible Imams who have the knowledge of the unseen and the seen, therefore having the absolute authority over Qur'anic exegesis in its esoteric and exoteric forms. They believe that Imam Muhammed Baqir (a) was the fifth Imam following his father, Ali II (a). Shi'a Muslims believe that the position of the Imamate is divinely ordained. The name Twelver refers to the fact that there were Twelve divinely ordained Imams, with the final being Imam Mahdi (atfs), who is still considered to be alive albeit in occultation (Ghaibah).

Fivers: Fivers do not believe in the infallibility of the Imams and hold that anyone of the Prophetic lineage through Hasan (a) and Hussain (a) can be the Imam of the Muslims. They believe that rather than Muhammed Baqir (a) ascending the Imamate, his brother, Zaid ibn Ali (a), was considered fit for the Imamate due to the fact that he revolted against the Umayyads, hence why they are referred to as Fiver Shi'as. Unlike the Twelvers, the imamate remained until 1962, and subsequently died out.

[whitesalmanrushdie]

The bedouin who live on the Turkish frontiers pretend to be Muslims for political reasons but they are so negligent of religion and their piety is so weak that they are usually considered infidels who have neither a law nor a prophet. They readily admit that Muhammad’s religion was not created for them. They add, ‘How can we perform ablutions without water? How can we give alms, being not rich? Why should we fast in Ramadhan after fasting all the year round? Why should we go to Mecca if God is everywhere?’

Thus there was a wide gamut of shades of Islam in Arabia at the time that Wahhabism was emerging - from Hanbalis [hardliner sunni] through the orthodox Sunnis of otherschools to Zaidis, Shia and Ibadis. The cult of saints was widespread. Pre-Muslim religious beliefs and cults - sorcery, idol worship, sun worship, animism, fetishism and the cult of ancestors - coexisted and became interwoven with Islam. It was within this spiritual milieu that Ibn Abd al-Wahhab lived, accepting or rejecting certain  elements of that heritage as his views were formed.

Ghazal is a brief love song, but it can also be a poem about anything. It should strictly be speaking, have the same rhyme throughout. The majority of Urdu ghazals are fake and conventional.

Qasida is a type of ode that is generally panegyric on a benefactor but can also be satire or poetry about a significant event. It is usually longer than a ghazal, although it follows the same rhyming scheme.

Marsiya (or elegy) is almost always about Hasan and Husain’s deaths and their families, although it can also be about the deaths of relatives and friends. It’s commonly written in six-line stanzas and rhymes aaaabb. One of the most important events in Muslim life is the reading of these elegies during the first 10 days of Muharram. An epic is always a fully-fledged marsiya. Mir Nawab Ali ‘Munis,’ Dulaha Sahab ‘Uruj,’ Mustafa Meerza urf Piyare Sahab ‘Rasheed,’ Syed Muhammad Mirza Uns, Ali Nawab ‘Qadeem,’ Syed Sajjad Hussain Shadeed Lucknavi, Allama, Dr.Syed Ali Imam Zaidi, Gauher Luckhnavi are among the prominent maria writers who.

Masnavi is a poetic romance in the majority of cases. It can be thousands of lines long, although it is usually considerably less. Only a few masnavis deal with everyday domestic and other issues. Some of these were written by Mir and Sauda. The meter is bacchic tetrameter with iambus for the last foot, and they are always in heroic couplets. Dr. Syed Ali Imam Zaidi Gauher Lucknavi wrote the Religious Masnavi History of Islam (Tarikh-e-Islam Az Quran).

Tazkira is a biographical anthology that almost always consists solely of poetry. This is frequently only a list of names with a line or two of biographical information about each poet, followed by a sample of his work. On the other hand, it could be a collection of illustrative fragments from the history of Urdu poetry. The best tazkiras include biographical facts but fall short on literary criticism, leaving us with no sense of style or poetical strength, let alone poem content. Even massive anthologies do not review an author’s work in a systematic manner. The names are in alphabetical order, for the most part, however one or two prefer historical order. The majority just quote lyrics and quotations, which are frequently chosen at random.

wait theres more subcategories of Shi'a Islam? not saying this to be judgmental btw, i know most religions have plenty of internal subdivision, i just didn't know (and to be frank im not entirely clear on what the Shi'a and Sunni branches originally separated, but i think it's to do with the succession of Muhammad?)

Shi'as all agree with the political position of Ali ibn Abu Talib (a) succeeding the Prophet Muhammed (sawas). The difference is derived from the subsequent Imams that the Shi'as did not agree upon.

Three of the biggest subsects of Shi'a Muslims today are the Twelvers (Imamis), Seveners (Ismailis) and Fivers (Zaidis). Although they differ theologically, there hasn't been a sectarian dispute between all three. The Imamis and Ismailiyyas believe that the Imams are divinely appointed, that they are infallible and that it can only be passed from their father to the son, while the Zaidiyyas deny infallibility and believe they can be chosen as long as it's anyone that descendends from Lady Fatimah (a).

The Twelvers believe that there are twelve Imams and that the final Imam is Imam Mahdi (atfs), who is currently in occultation. They make up the majority of Shi'as today and is the predominate religious belief in Iran, Bahrain, Iraq and exists in parts of South Asia and Lebanon.

Ismailiyyas disagreed with the Twelvers regarding the Seventh Imam. Although we agree with all the Imams up to the sixth Imam, Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a), there was a dispute regarding who would succeed him. Musa (a) or Ismail (a), the sons of Ja'far (a). Those who pledged allegience to Musa al Kadhim (a) would later become known as the Twelvers, while those who pledged allegience to Ismail ibn Ja'far (a) became known as the Ismailiyyas. Ismailiyyas are separated into sub-subsects, because of their historical disputes. We got Nizaris and Musta'alis. These two sub-sub branches came into existence over a dispute regarding the succession of who'd become the next caliph after their deceased father. Hassan i Sabbah pledged allegience to Nizar and created the Order of the Assassins and a Nizari state at the fortress of Alamut, while the rest retained their position in Fatimid Egypt and proclaimed their allegience to Musta'al. The Nizaris follow a man by the name of Aga Khan IV, who they believe is the Imam of our time. The Musta'alis are a bit complicated to explain, cause they're a very isolated group of Muslims.

Zaidiyyas agree with the Imamis and Ismailiyyas up to the fourth Imam, Imam Ali ibn Hussain (a). The Zaidis held that his son Zayd ibn Ali (a) should have become the Imam rather than his brother, Imam Muhammed ibn Ali (a), because the former revolted against the tyranical caliphate, while the latter did not. thus Zaid (a) was not only a member of the Prophet's family, but he was also politically competent. The rest of the Shi'as subscribed to the idea that Muhammed al-Baqir (a) was the fifth Imam in line after his father. Zaidis make up a significant population in Yemen. Houthis are a family of people who subscribe to the Zaidi belief.
