Sectism is targeting humanity

In the world full of sectism where people are fighting for no cause, judging, pointing other sects, and trying to defend their own by crippled arguments. Their intentions aren’t wrong but the lack of knowledge they have made them feel negative and they start blaming others. I mean blaming isn’t wrong. Like what more you can expect from a hollow man!!!

I decided to write. Had no choice left and I don’t have a proper background because I believe one doesn’t need any background knowledge to write what he feels and I’m bad at expressing what I feel so came here in front of my laptop with a load of thoughts processing inside and getting no answer. I mean processing thoughts isn’t wrong but what can you expect from a hollow man’s thoughts!!!

Alright, I’m disappointed. Yes, thoroughly disappointed with my owned people. I have two best friends AR and Ali Ahmed. I know them for NINE long years and they know each other since birth. One belongs to suni community and the second belongs to the shia community. We three never had a chat on religion before neither we were into sectism. But in recent years AR started to explore the shia community and afterward he started to criticize their religious beliefs. He had some issues with matam and physical torture which was quite normal for a person who belongs to the suni community. But not for the shia community so eventually the battle has began between those two. Posting statuses against each other and trying to criticize other. Being suni I also had some issues but my beliefs are different. I can’t blame others when I’m unable to offer five-time prayer. At the start, I was being suni started to blame the shia community for their beliefs but as I told you before that what more you can expect from a hollow man’s mind!!!

Now I’m in a situation where I can’t support shia’s neither I can support sunni’s. Rather I can support humanity. Yes, I’m a human, and humanity is being targeted in this battle of sectism. We will get nothing in this battle expect losing our friends, losing our loved ones, losing our beliefs, and losing our positivity. Yesterday night, I was totally exhausted and fed up with this fight of sectism and I had no one to discuss with so decided to post on my Instagram story with the hope of getting something out of it. Which will help me afterwards. But what you can expect from a hollow man’s Instagram!!!

“Why are you targeting shias, raising a controversial issue, why are you saying such a nonsense question??? Are you dumb?? You’re an idiot. And the list goes on” These were the replies to my question “Kia matam krna jaiz hai ya nahe??” Still thinking about it that, what was wrong in that question. We never understand the reason of the question and just read to reply. But I do appreciate one girl who explained the shia community beliefs and I want to say “Thank you” if you are reading this. But what can I do with those beliefs when my best friends are at the last stage of sectism!!! NOTHING, I can’t satisfy them or their beliefs by imposing my thoughts on them. They use to say “mai yai Quran or hadees ki baat kr rha” and a hollow man like me who doesn’t have a strong Islamic knowledge can only say that you are rightly saying. I have no idea how can I get them back and I have some questions for you.

Is that is what Hazrat Imam Hussain wanted??

Why are we so extreme??

Why our beliefs are targeting humanity??
Why are we mixing our personal emotions with the religion??

Why we blame others??

Is your sect is superior than the religion of brotherhood?

Why so negative??

I believe that nobody can answer these questions as they don’t belong to sunni’s or shia’s beliefs. If the questions are being asked by a hollow-man then what you can expect in answer!!!
