Sects in Islam

 There are many sects, divisions and schools of thought within Islam. Many conflicts and disputes arise due to these differences of interpretation. However, we must remember that we should stick together as one Muslim community (Ummah) and respect other ways of practicing Islam, unless they obviously go against Islam. A common tactic used between opponents is the ‘divide and conquer,’ method, which is used to weaken and then destroy the opponents. We must remind ourselves that sticking together as one community will present a greater force and challenge to the enemies of Islam as opposed to having divisions within Islam and seperation and isolation between the different groups.
