The role of sections in shaping the perspective on religion

After the death of the Prophet, Muslims experienced a vacuum due to the absence of an authority that would explain and guide religion and dominate all areas of life in politics, and they differed in opinions on various issues. At the beginning of their disagreements was the issue of the caliphate. Although this issue seems to have settled down a bit during the caliphate of Abu Bakr and Omar, it reached its potential violence during the reigns of Osman and Ali, and as a result, it led to bloody events that led to the martyrdom of both caliphs. As a result of wars, policies, and all the conflicts experienced on the axis of ideas, sects, sects, were born, around which people gathered by grouping, expressing their views in the name of religion, sometimes speaking the truth and sometimes monopolizing the truth. Groupings, both in the field of denomination and in any way that has a religious dimension, will continue in this century and until the apocalypse, as it was before. Sometimes we may come across groups that develop movements in pursuit of the truth, in line with a life order that Allah desires, and sometimes structures that organize for profit, interest and political purposes. It is essential for Muslim societies to make decisions without ignoring historical experiences in this sense. In this study, we have discussed the subject of the sects or groups in question, in which environment they were born and developed, their way of religious understanding, the problem of being seen as religion itself, and the use and abuse of religion as a political tool.
