Overview

The etymology and origin of the phrase Shi'at Ali is accoring to both Shi'a and Sunni sources a phrase that was used by the Islamic prophet Muhammad himself, initially used as a title for a group of followers of Ali in praise. Shi'a put the emphasize on those narrations, whereupon the present day Shi'a argue the usage of this term is encouraged by Sunnah. The Quran identifies a number of men as prophets of Islam. ...

Who was the first to use the term Ahl al-Sunnah [Sunni Traditions] and al-Jamaah? I have searched through the history books and found that they agreed to call the year in which Muawiyah seized power "the year of al-Jamaah". It was called thus because the nation became divided into two factions after the death of Uthman: The Shia of Ali and the followers of Muawiyah. When Imam Ali was martyred and Muawiyah seized power after his pact with Imam Hasan which enabled him to become commander of the believers the years was then called "al-Jamaah". Therefore the name Ahl al-Sunnah [Sunnah Traditionists], and al-Jamaah indicates the Sunnah [tradition] of Muawiyah, and the agreement on his leadership, and does not mean the followers of the Sunnah [tradition] of the Messenger of Allah.

Sunnis do not view themselves as exclusively Shi'a of Muawiyah, rather, they view all Sahaba as reliable, considering the dispute between Muawiyah and Ali ibn Abi Talib to be political only. The term "Shi'a (of Ali)" later on became an ideological path in reference to the followers of Muhammad's family during the sixth Shi'a Imam, Jafar al Sadiq, whom was a descendant of Muhammad.

Shi'as historically do not see themselves as a sect but as followers of Muhammad and his Ahl al-Bayt and have no problem referring to themselves as such in addition to being Muslim. A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم, Turkish: Müslüman, Persian and Urdu: مسلمان, Bosnian: Musliman) is an adherent of Islam. ...
