Difference Between Sunni and Wahabi
Sunni vs Wahabi
The major difference between Sunni and Wahabi is the beliefs and rituals. Sunnis are in majority and almost 90% percent of Muslims around the world belong to Sunni sect whereas the members of Wahabi movement are located in Saudi Arab. There are a few main and major as well as many secondary differences between the Sunni and Wahabi Muslims which caused these sects to be cut off from each other and emerge independently.
The major difference between them is that Wahabis believe that Prophet Muhammad should be praised only as a human being whereas Sunnis show extra special care and respect towards the Prophet of Islam.
Sunni Muslims celebrate the birthday of the Holy Prophet and arrange Meelaad. Meelaad is a form of gathering in which the Sunni Muslims get together and praise the Holy Prophet. The birthdays of Sufi saints are also celebrated with much dedication and enthusiasm. The day of their deaths are commemorated in the form of Urs. Wahabi Muslims do not believe in celebrating and practicing all these events which are very strongly rooted in Islam. Wahabis call these practices of events as unlawful and wrongful innovations. Wahabis also believe that this is as close as to shirk or polytheism and Sunnis follow the ways of infidel Hindus.
Sunni Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad is Nur and still present in this world. Whereas Wahabis do not believe in using pious individuals as intermediaries when asking Allah as they consider it shirk or polytheism. Sunnis believe in the saints and mysticism whereas Wahabis do not believe in mysticism, intercession and prostration as well. Sunni Muslims visit the tombs of the saints and perform tawassul for the blessings of Allah whereas it is the greatest sin for a Wahabi.
Sunni Muslims believe in four imams of fiqah or Islamic laws such as Hanfi, Hanbli, Malakii and Shaafeyii whereas Wahabi does not follow an Iman in Fiqh. Wahabi Muslims are a group of fundamentalists and have an orthodox version Islam. Wahabis in Saudi Arab do not allow their females to work side by side with their men and they also are not allowed to drive a car. The women are treated as third rate citizens and they are bound to wear a long abayaa or garment to cover them from head to toe. Sunni Muslims are moderate and believe in the equality of women as suggested by Islam.
There are many differences present in their rituals of praying, marriage ceremonies, dresses etc. Wahabi Muslims have separate mosques and schools. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahab in the 18th century in Arabia, and his movement came up against a lot of opposition from the Indians Sunni Muslims. Members of the Wahab movement in Saudi Arabia believe their role as a restorer or reformer to free Islam from negative deviances, heresies, innovations, superstitions and idolatries. Wahabis prefer to eliminate music and listening to songs. They are against watching television and drawings of living things which contain a soul.
1. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Muhammad ibne Abdul wahab present in the 18th century in Saudi Arabia whereas Sunni Muslims are followers of Prophet Muhammad and his companions.
2. Sunni Muslims believe in intercession and mysticism whereas Wahabis call them as deviants and wrongful innovations in Islam.
3. Sunni Muslims strictly follow one of the four schools of thoughts or madhabs of fiqah or Islamic jurisprudence whereas Wahabis follow their sheikh.
4. Wahabis do not observe annual Sufi festivals, events or the birthday of Prophet Muhammad.
5. Sunni Muslims wear charms and believe in healing powers unlike Wahabi beliefs like visiting tombs or shrines of saints.

we are all muslims and the fact that we are cursing and calling everyone scum was one thing that Allah feared would happen and so did the prophet so we should not disrespect each others belief infact we all should just focus on haveing the right intention when we pray so that we all go through the doors of jannah so those who are calling themselves sunni , shia or whahabi should realise that we are all muslims and we are all brothers and sisters and should focus on the fact that we are servents of Allah and no matter what and how you pray all that matters is having the right intention and should try to stay away from the shaytaan that is causing us brothers and sisters to argue and class them as " not one of us " the fact that Allah said that we should respect people of other religons and their beliefs and we are not respecting the belief of our own brothers and sisters is digusting and the final fact that i want to say is that iam not a sunni , shia or a whahbi etc im a Muslim
Thanks brother, the exact message
Salam to you all my brothers and sisters.
Hussain, I agree with you. Let Allah decides and judges who's right and who's wrong. In fact, we don't have any authorization to judge such a thing.
I just realize that being judgeful and fighting one to another between moslems are the factors of how Islam weakens by the followers themselves. So, why don't we be the peaceful followers of the peaceful Islam? May Allah shows us all the right path and gives us the blessings and jannah al-feerdaoos.
Many of us who are not Muslim but are Christian are confused by the extremist actions in the world of some Muslims, and some live alongside us. I am so pleased that the previous contributors can agree on the content of this article, the differences were not known to me. As I travel the world I am now less likely to converse with a Muslim on any topic, based on the conduct of the less reputable conduct of Muslims. Many in the West believe that the conflicts currently ongoing originate from the rulers in Saudi Arabia and that very little will be resolved in the world until this is addressed. There are many conflicts world wide. Am I incorrect in my observations and/or interpretations. I write as a pacifist not one looking for conflict. Our challenge on this earth is to live peaceably together.
How accurate is this article? I have never heard of sunni muslim believing in an intercessor or even wearing charms or bracelets. It is something that was not known to be practiced during the Prophet 's time( phub). Also celebrating anyone's birthday is not something known, but I am not sure if it is haram. I have heard cases where sunni muslims celebrate it.
This article is factually incorrect. Uninformed or deliberate misinformation provided to confuse people. Those who seek to learn, please ask any religious scholars. Basically this is one religion, Islam. May Allah swt guide us all to the one and only truth. Please do not be a part of spreading more confusion.
Haron …you have said it all in very few words. This article is deliberate misinformation. I am a sunni muslim and I dont do what the article is saying.
The article is accurate to a great extent. In fact sunni sect has divided into several sub sects such as deobandi, barelvi etc with many differences. Barelvis celebrate go to urs of saints and birthday of Holy Prophet ( pbuh) whereas wahabis reject such functions as these were never celebrated during early period of Islam. I would request all Muslims to follow Quran and sunnah and leave all rituals added unnecessarily.
Incorrect article
Writer should first get perfect knowledge
We Are ONE UMMAH only !
Hi! I'd like to weigh in as a Christian mom to a loving and respectful Muslim son-in-law. I see that Muslims have the same problem as Christians – interpretations, different rituals, etc.
I studied Islam when I was 22 and curious. I asked the Imam who taught us how God could give us different "truths" and how we're we to know which was correct? He said it was humans who get it wrong. There is one truth, and if you imagine truth as a circle, we each might get a tangent of truth; the truth we are given is within the context of our times and culture. What is the message God/Allah is giving us? LOVE. RESPECT. PEACE. LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER. We need to overcome our tribality and see Allah in each one of us.
Peace and love to us all.
Assalamu Alaikum!
Alhamdulillah that there are some people in this world who actually have the correct view of a muslim. I'm part sunni and part wahabi which some people criticise as they think i can't be both. Many muslims have come to me and said that i am stupid being wahabi as they say that wahabis are crazy and they believe in the wrong things. I broke down and didn't know what to say as i never knew there was so much criticism in Islam against Sunni, Wahabi and Shia. I did my research and thought that we are all muslims and that it doesn't matter if we are sunni, wahabi or shia as we are all muslims. A sunni muslim came up to me and said that wahabis are bad and that i am going to be punished and that i have a wrong beliefs. He also said that i didn't believe in the prophet and that i couldn't be part sunni or wahabi. I'm sunni but part wahabi as i believe that the Prophet didn't celebrate his birthday so why should we. I also believe in the Prophets teachings while also relying more on hadith. I also attend Meelads as people invite us and it doesn't sound good to say now. During meelads we read naats, eat food and read Quraan and make Duaa. Instead of breaking down i said to the man that he call himself a good muslim but he is bringing shame upon himself as Allah has told us that we are all equal and i think that we are all muslims and it doesn't matter what u are. It matters about intentions. The way you pray or the things u believe dont matter as long as u believe that Allah is the One and only God. Instead of criticising others, i think people should think about how they should improve their character and make themselves better muslims. If people think that they are better than others they should know that there is always someone who is higher in status islam like the Prophet peace be upon him. Allah didn't make the Sunni, Wahabi and Shia. Humans made this. Allah just made the religion of Islam and made us pure muslims that have faith and believe in only one God that is Him, Allah. We are all muslims, so criticising others beliefs is just you bringing shame to yourself, not having the intelligence you should have before criticising others and also going against Allah.
If a person says if your Sunni, Wahabi or Shia. Say to them that it doesn't matter what you believe and that your Muslim like them and that you believe in Allah alone.
I wanted this message to be passed on and to stay in people's minds as if muslims fight over such a little thing then how will we show the greatness and purity of Islam to others and to non muslims.
dont read, did any ones mentioned any references of hadeeth, and dont try to get full islamic information from any websites, because, some times shia's mention the words, to spoil muslims religions
Salaam to all brothers and sisters in Islam, irrespective of what differences we have.
This is the second or third time I am posting a comment here and the main reason for that is to establish one fact, which is our brotherhood.
Yes the debate of celebrating Prophet's (Swallaahu Alaihi Wa sallam) Milaad, Shabaan 15 and many others will continue till the end of this world.
If I say opinion then definitely I will be offending one sect, and I am sure you will not be able read without prejudice because of our differences.
We have Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet, Ahamdulillah our world advanced so much that if you really want to ensure if hadith is true you can find it, if you dont search for it with an opinion.
My simple request to all, do not call names or decide of someone being Kaafir or a bad muslim or a better muslim. Let Allah (SWT) decide this major thing, because definitely it is not upon us to judge anyone's actions or deeds, and dont put yourself in trouble on the day of judgement when you will questioned for making statements against your brother. If someone is following a Bidah or dis approving a Sunnah, he will be questioned in the day of judgement. Yes, you can share your opinion, but you cannot force it on someone. Even prophet(Swallaahu Alaihi Wa sallam) said I am just a messenger, and he delivered the message, it is upto the Ummah to follow it completely, exactly, partially or nothing at all.
So take time to examine without prejudice, and seek the real truth from Allah, and make dua to Allah to show you the real sunnah. And if you are sincere He will definitely guide you to straight path.
What you are following, what your parents are following, what your teacher taught you, what is being practiced in Saudi Arabia, these are not the answers you should look for. Look for what the Prophet (Swallaahu Alaihi Wa sallam) practiced and make he really practised it from authentic hadith, inshaAllah you will guided rightly.
Please make dua for me and my family to be guided along the straight path of our Prophet (Swallaahu Alaihi Wa sallam) and also grant us life to embrace this Ramdan with full of imaan.
Ramadan Kareem to all my brothers and sisters in Islam,
those are a kufar who dont obey mohammad simply
Correction brother… if one doesn't believe in Allah then he is a kuffar… and he should follow the Sunnah of our prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him)
Allah does not accept tauheed without the acceptance of beloved Prophet PBUH those who only witness Allah but not Prophet Mohammad PBUH ar just like Abu Jehal
Dear Brother in Islam
Nothing gives anyone a right to label another as kuffar or bad Muslim.
May Almighty Allah protect us.
Nadia….. wahabi says that the Sunnis are the people who don't believe the main teacher of Islam so the Sunnis follow the ways of infidel Hindus I….. Their is no right to label another as kuffar , bad and infidel . But wahabi believes that sunni are infidel
Could not said it any better my brother .may ALLAH have mercy on u and your family
JazaakAllahu khairan brother, may Allah have mercy on you and your family.
Assalamu alaykum brother,
Ma'sha'allah i love ur comment as it is right only Allah (swt) has the right to judge. Us Muslims have no right to call someone a kuffar/kaffir as that is the only right tha Allah (swt) has also us calling someone a kaffir can lead to us losing our Imaan. We are a Muslims at the end of the day and the only thing we can do is guide our fellow brothers and sisters in Islam down the right path.
Jazakullah Khair
JazaakAllahu khairan, may Allah bless us all in this holy month of Ramadan and guide us all along the straight path. Ameen
Ramadan Kareem may Allah SWT grant you and your family all good in this life and the next and grant you good health and a long life. Shukran for telling the truth and yes I shared it on facebook and I am going to share with all my emailers. Salaam
JazaakAllahu khairan sister. It feels so right that we are making dua for each other rather than fighting over. This is brotherhood in Islam where you love each other only for the sake of Allah. May Allah help you in spreading peace and the right message to the community within your reach. Ameen
Praise be to Allaah.
The Bareilawis are an extreme Sufi sect that appeared in the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent, in the city of Bareilly, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh during the days of British colonialism.
The basic principles of their misguided, deviant teachings are based on exaggeration about the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the members of his household, exaggeration about the righteous, enmity towards Ahl as-Sunnah, and diverting the people away from jihad for the sake of Allah.
The founder of this sect was called Ahmad Reza Khan Taqiy 'Ali Khan; he called himself 'Abd al-Mustafa.
He was one of the misguided extremists. He used to say: "When you are confused, seek help from the occupants of the graves."
In his extreme exaggeration about the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), he said: "The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is in control everywhere; he is the king of earth and the sovereign of mankind."
And he said: "O Muhammad, I cannot say that you are Allah and I cannot differentiate between you and Him; your matter is for Him to judge, for He knows best what you really are."
And he said: "Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, gave the one who brought the Qur'an, our master Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), everything that is in al-Lawh al-Mahfooz."
And he said: "The Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is light from the Light of Allah, and all of creation comes from his light."
Amjad 'Ali, one of their leaders, said: "The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is a deputy of Allah with complete authority, and the entire universe is under his control. So he does whatever he wants, he gives whatever he wants to whoever he wants, he takes whatever he wants, and there is no one in the universe who can alter his rule. He is the master of humans and whoever does not make him his sovereign is deprived of the sweetness of the sunnah."
And he said: "Those who reject seeking help from the Prophets and saints and from their graves are heretics."
Ahmad Yar Khan – one of their shaykhs – said: "The shar'i meaning of the one who is present and watching [this refers to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him] is that the one who is possessed of holy power is able to see the world like the palm of his hand from the place where he is; he can hear sounds from near and from far; he can go around the world in a single moment; he helps those who are in need and he answers those who call on him."
They used to build structures over graves and frequent them, lighting candles and lamps in them, offer sacrifices to them in fulfilment of vows, seeking barakah (blessing) from them, holding celebrations for them, putting flowers and roses and cloths on them and putting curtains around them, and calling their followers to circumambulate the tombs, seeking barakah from them.
See: al-Kashf 'an Haqeeqat as-Sufiyyah (1/350); as-Sufiyah: Nash'atuha wa Tatawwuruha (p. 62); al-Mawsoo'ah al-Muyassarah fi'l-Adyaan wa'l-Madhaahib wa'l-Ahzaab al-Mu'aasirah (p. 302-306).
See also the answer to question no. 1487
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked:
There is a certain group in Pakistan that is called the Bareilawis or the Nawaari group, named after their current leader who is known as Nawaari. I asked you for the shar'i ruling concerning them and their beliefs, and praying behind them, so that this may bring peace of mind to many people who do not know the truth about them. And once again, I would like to ask you about some of their myths and widespread beliefs:
1. The belief that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is alive
2. The belief that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is present and can see what is happening, especially immediately after Jumu'ah prayer.
3. The belief that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will definitely intercede for them.
4. They believe in the awliya' ("saints") and the occupants of graves, and they pray at their graves and ask them to meet their needs.
5. They build domes over graves and put lights in them.
6. They are known to say "Ya Rasool, Ya Muhammad (O Messenger, O Muhammad) (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
7. They get angry with the one who says Ameen out loud and raises his hands when praying, and they regard him as a Wahhaabi.
8. They find it very strange when the siwaak is used at the time of prayer.
9. They kiss their fingers during wudoo', at the time of the adhaan, and after prayer.
10. Their imam always recites the verse "Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad ) and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him)" [al-Ahzaab 33:56] after prayer, then all the worshippers send blessings upon the Prophet in unison and loudly.
11. They gather in circles after Jumu'ah prayer, standing, reciting and reciting poetry in praise of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) loudly.
12. After completing the recitation of the Holy Qur'an in Taraweeh prayer in Ramadan, they make a great deal of food and distribute it in the forecourt of the mosque, as well as sweets.
13. They build mosques and adorn them elaborately, and they write over the mihraab "Ya Muhammad (O Muhammad)".
14. They regard themselves as followers of the Sunnah and correct 'aqeedah (belief), and think that others are in the wrong.
What is the shar'i ruling on praying behind them?
They replied:
It is not permissible to pray behind one who is like this, and if one who knows that the belief of the imam is like that prays behind him, his prayer is invalid, because most of the things listed are characteristics of kufr (disbelief) and bid'ah (innovation) that are contrary to the Tawheed (affirmation of the Oneness of Allah) with which Allah sent His Messengers and which He revealed in His Books. It is contrary to the clear meaning of the Qur'an, such as the verses in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): "Verily, you (O Muhammad ) will die and verily, they (too) will die" [az-Zumar 39:30] and "And the mosques are for Allah (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allah" [al-Jinn 72:18]. The innovations that they do should be denounced in a gentle way; if they accept it then praise be to Allah. If they do not accept it, then shun them and pray in the mosques of Ahl as-Sunnah. We have a good example in the Close Friend (Khaleel) of the Most Merciful, as Allah tells us he said (interpretation of the meaning): "And I shall turn away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allah. And I shall call on my Lord; and I hope that I shall not be unblest in my invocation to my Lord" [Maryam 19:48].
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 2/396-398
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the ruling on praying behind an imam from the Bareilawi sect, who believes that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is alive and present and can see us?
He replied: If they believe that, then they have gone against ijmaa' (consensus of the ummah), and if they seek his help, then that is shirk, so it is not permissible to pray behind them.
And Allah knows best.
you have spoken to the truth brother, but I am not sure if this is what the barailvi believe, and I hope this is not
Truth is worst to hear sometimes.
100 percent terrorist are wahabis.
Wahabis are the worst human on earth.
World 90 percent terrorism directly or indirectly sponsored by Saudi wahabis.
Saudi doesn't have democracy.
No rule
No humanity
Only terrorism
And spreading terror by teaching wahabis culture to kill humans.
But unfortunately America supports Saudi by supplying weopens so that Saudi can spread terror and to attack at innocent.
May Allah bless America and his brother Saudi.
#Murtaza Bro,
Terrorists doesnt have any religion.. So how can u say that???
I am a women who believes that celebrating milad urs and the like is sin. But I also want equal rights to aducation marriage and work as men. I feel wahabi religion is constricting for me as a women while sunni religion is full of activities deviating from real islam. What should I do I feel so confused. What is the real islam please guide. I feel Allah does not abandon his creations so he will not impose restrictions on his creation making them feel inferior. Its not my fault I was born female. Please tell somebody which is real islam I should follow dont want to be treated like an eejit and I dont want to die a sinner by following wrong.
I am a sunni from a multi-racial country, and I actually believe with what the wahabi's believe in this post only difference is that:
1) we treat women equally.
2) we listen to music, watch tv, go to the cinemas, play games etc. this is probably influence by our multi-racial background.
3) some of us do believe in charms, visiting tombs and shrines. but this people mostly supernatural practitioners, those who can catch jins and talk to them using medium. but I have to agree that some of them deviated completely like practicing magic etc. But majority of sunni's are normal muslim who follow the islamic rules. So I don't know why this author post it like it is. probably sunni from other country practice them? I dunno.
For me personally, there's nothing wrong being a wahabi or a sunni as long you are not a shia.
Assalamu alyakum sister,
In the Quran it is said that us Muslims show celebrate the blessings bestowed upon us and the biggest blessing bestowed upon us is the Prohet Muhammad (SAW), which is why Sunnis celebrate the mawlid (the birthday of the Prophet (saw)). Whabis say that you shouldnt celebrate the Mawlid as the Prophet (astagfirullah) passed on the day. However in the Quran is says that every soul will taste death. The Prophet (SAW)'s souls was taken out but they didnt know here to put the blessed soul so they returned it to the body. Also in Islam you are not allowed to mourn for someone after 3 days so celebrating the birthday of the Prophet is fine.
Jazakullah Khair
I think that we all as muslims are on a conquest to know the truth .In the mean time it is important not to become extreme in our ideas and thought about our perception of Islam. I dont know much about Wahabi but I have read it was started by a man Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, am I wrong? I am sure his intentions were good.Many of us can recite the Qu ran and recite it beautifully in Arabic. That is nice,but we do not understand it, nor can reflect upon on and apply it to today society. We need to education ourselves because we are in trouble.We are lacking education and humanity. This is why we have all these sects and one person extreme in their views want to called another one kafir. Why do some men think women should stay in the home?There is ignorant there, and that is false modesty.Anyway if anyone has a chance try to purchase this book. Let me know what you think ,share your ideas, let s have dialogue. " In the footsteps of the Prophet :Lessons from the life of Muhammad" by Tariq Ramadan
whatever imam ahmed raza khan is said is 100% from quran and hadees.
he showed the true love of holy prophet peace be upon him and saved iman of crores of muslims by recognising the greatest fitna of wahabism (najdi) as mentioned by our beloved prophet peace be upon him.
wahabism is enemy of islam with hidden propoganda of fake tauhid. no use of that tauhid that disrespects our beloved prophet peace be upon him and pious servants of islam.
Please do some rescreach about islam and about sunni shia and wahabi as far as i know wahabi is wrong
1) Its very simple.. follow quran and authentic hadees.. if there is no Quranic verses or Authentic hadees. please dont follow that particular virtue. in olden days people doesn't had good knowledge each and everything, whatever the forefathers tells,or a priest in that area convey to follow; they did it. so different places follow different kind of virtues.. so what has happened so many new things added to islam. At present it is very easy to get the knowledge. Quran translation of all the major world languages are available.Authentic hadees also available. 2)About saudi arabia..the author mentioned as if no women allowed to go out from house. it is wrong. even saudi banks have women staffs. most of the women working. 3) car driving not allowed. it is not because of islam prohibited. it is due to the local demo-graphical issue. higher % of expatriate bachelors living in saudi arabia, especially asian countires. saudi arabia mostly deserts and its very tough for girls to travel from one city to another city alone.even as a man you will little fear to travel alone from city to city. hopes it is clear.if some one ask me who are you. About terrorism, saudi arabia doesnt have any terrorist organisation and the govt and the priest openly preaching against terrosim. last …if some one ask me who are you ? i would say Muslim. and a human!!!!
You believe that to perform milad is sin.
That what about wahabi killing innocent. Raping women. Bombing in masjid. ?
Please don't follow wahabism.
All wahabis are enemy of Islam
Yes you are right Sara but I want to explain you that the Sunnis arrange milad but we don't worship him because Allah is only who is worthy for the worship …….. We only praises him because he is the last messager of Allah and is in heighest rank of Prophets …….. !
Hello my friends and brothers , i think when a wahabbi saying if i kill a shia i will go to paradise , but not saying anything about sunni ,
When they (wahabbies) living inside of sunnies and sometime (in syria) sunnies give home to wahabbies to not die by iranian soldiers, i think wahabbies are friend with sunnies. even if they say NO!
but if they wanna choose between shia and wahabbi they will choose wahabbi!
Assalium alaikum
Just wanted to say everyone just stick to the basics and good deeds and refrain from calling anyone a kafir We are not here to judge each other and we cannot Who knows who Allah loves Have a good niyaat stick to the principles and do more good deeds JazkAllah Khair
Allah hafiz
As salam walequm
I am die heart sunni follower of ala hazrat becoz he says what our be loved prophet mohhmad say…
Nd for munafiks wahabis.. u guys read the kalma of prophet nd say he is common man majallah u r kaffir… allah apne huzzor k sadkey aur tamam buzurgo k wasile se aapko ilm aatah farmaye.. ameen
Well prophet s.a.w according to quran in surah muzamil shows his hayatul nabi…as it reads ya hayuhal muzamil
Aslam-o-alaikum to everyone
What a shame on us how miser we are when it's about most precious thing (Islam).
we most of them care to judge and make sure the branding in all the aspects when we buy a pair of shoes of any brand.
we really forgot why we sent here and what questions will arise in here after ,the people who are shaky about their beliefs they must act like that but who are knowing and feeling the lighting of Islam they are all ready to talk about their beliefs because they have no fear and they are sure what is going to uncover .
if anyone want to know the truth that is already mentioned by author ,for your ref it is copied below.
1. Wahabi Muslims are followers of Muhammad ibne Abdul wahab present in the 18th century in Saudi Arabia whereas Sunni Muslims are followers of Prophet Muhammad and his companions.
why anyone should follow the Islam of 18th century .
Prophet Muhammad( صلى الله عليه وسلم)said ,if you follow my any companion that is the way to reach me .
what else to understand who is right or how is wrong???
i am not against the unity of Ummah but at least we should recognize right or wrong
i hope no will take it wrong .
May Allah bless to all of us.
Sunni is the most practical and more spiritual…wahabi has ni spiritual…n don t respect the Holy PROPHET…in the Prophet s time even his wudu water would be colected by his companion..even his salavia..his cupping blood drank by Sahabah…
wahabi is over jealous for their women..women in the time of The Holy prophet rode horses and camel n donkey..but wahabi dont let women drive car.
The prophet (peace be upon him) said, my ummah will be divided into 73 groups, 72 groups will go will go to hell, and only 1 group will go to jannah
; that 72 groups will go to hell is include wahabis, shias, salafis, ibadhis,etc,
; that 1 group will go to jannah is sunni muslims (ahle sunnat wa al jamaat) or sufism.
All wahabis, shias, and salafis are murtad. Meaning who become non muslims after being a muslim. The lowest part of hell is reserved for them . Stay away from them even if they are your own brothers or sisters. Loyalty is the first quality in Islam
Dear brothes and sisters the right path is sunni [ sufism ].
In the final analysis can any "add on" in Islam be justified ? Any believe which wasn't sanctioned nor mentioned by Muhammed (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) is in no ways part of Islam and using fabricated or weak Hadith to substantiate ones claims is a gross misunderstanding of the difference between Islam and cultural customs. It seems that the writer of the original article is having a go at "Wahabi" Islam, a Islam that is more pure from the innovations and misguidence propagated by some sects within Islam that originated in Indo-Pak. In actual fact how do you justify "Wahabi" Sunnah compared to "Berelwi" Sunnah ? I don't mention "Deobandi" Sunnah as soon a comparison will be made between them as well, as being an shoot of "Wahabi". The Berelwis /Sufis/ Kubooris/ Shias are big trouble makers as they adulterated the pure Sunnah with deviant practices that was NEVER part of Islam.
There is only one Allah and one Rasool
"Sunni Muslims wear charms and believe in healing powers"
That statement above is NOT true….
Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects – you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah ; then He will inform them about what they used to do.
Quran 6:159
Salam, I absolutely HATE and almost about to change my religion because of some STUPID Muslims.
First Muslaims need to RESPECT all other religions, Stop calling them infedals because this is NOT Mohammad/Christ era this is 2016. If Muslims thinks they are right then First become something in Science/Technology
Everything from litt;le screw to Automobile is given to Muslim world by WEST. Not a single Muslim country has given damn thing to the world.
i dont want to go in too detail just want to say be a good citizen, respectful to others, get educated, be law abiding citizen, become powerful in science/technology so world can listen/hear you
Salam GOD bless everyone
Assalamoalekum, I want to say that If not celebrating prophet(pbuh) birthday and neither visiting saint's tomb is called wahabi then I am wahabi but if u say that I do not love prophet(pbuh) and do not believe in any of his sunnah then I m not a wahabi… Islam is about understanding and following Q'uran and our beloved prophet (pbuh) Hadith and his Sahaba's way of living life..
Wahabbis love the prophet, who said we do not?
when did prophet approved of king and royal family like royal saudis and royal british what afools
all the muslims r one.if its example is if u have a pain in ur finger all of ur body will be restless.a muslim cant be happy if his brother is in a pain or distress.one muslim's life and wealth is haram on another muslim.A muslim is the one who believes in Allah and Prophet Muhammad as a last massenger of Allah.Allah love Prophet Muhammad so much that in Quran he says oh muslims say darood to Muhammad pbuh because Allah snd his angels also say darood on Muhammad.in Quran Allah has addressed to Muhammad pbuh in a very very loving way.called him as his beloved.if Allah loves his prophet so much how can we ignore that.we also love him more then our children and parents.Allah has created the whole universe for his beloved Muhammad pbuh.Muhammad was Allah's abd and prophet.Allah has akready given prophet Muhammad thr respect of highest order how can we increase it more by saying that he was a noor.He was a noor in a sense that He spread the noor of Allah's oneness and betterment of mankind in the whole universe as He is the best creation of Allah Almighty.so muslims brothers and sisters instead of fighting with each other on the name of religion lets follow islam by proving urself the best in ur manners.
Wahabbis are followers of prophet Muhammed too. The story of Muhammed bin Abdul wahab is that he came to arabia, and taught the saudis the correct way of worshipping allah. bcz at that time, saudis were worshipping in a wrong way
Truth is worst to hear sometimes.
100 percent terrorist are wahabis.
Wahabis are the worst human on earth.
World 90 percent terrorism directly or indirectly sponsored by Saudi wahabis.
Saudi doesn't have democracy.
No rule
No humanity
Only terrorism
And spreading terror by teaching wahabis culture to kill humans.
But unfortunately America supports Saudi by supplying weopens so that Saudi can spread terror and to attack at innocent.
May Allah bless America and his brother Saudi.
may be but why did they use royal king their is no royal king only royal british wahabii ais not correct but fabrication by zionist jews and whites
all the above is completly wrong .sunnis and wahabi are both strictly following Islam .it seems that u dont know any thing about Islam .
u r trying to give the world a wrong image about Islam.what u have written is absolutly wrong either about sunnis or Wahabi
This article is confusing for those who dont know fully about Islam.Wahabis dont celeberate birthday of Muhammad(SAW) because we believe that Muhammad (SAW) died on the same day as he was born i-e 12 RabiaulAwal.Therefore wew neither celeberate nor make it a Urs.This day is only a very respectable day for us
It was very good to hear that apart from few brothers and sisters, many of us agree that we are one. One Ummah. Despite of all variations and differences, we still believe that we are one, we are muslims. These topics, blogs and sites are there only to create difference and hatred among us, but Masha Allah, we are strong and we will be strong and united, In Sha Allah..
All wahabis all infidels fuck them they created isis and kill innocent people fuck them sideways their place is in hell alongside their sheikhs Ahhhhhh
I fucking want to kill them being Christian is better than being a fucking WAHABI
Dear Brother in Islam
Your vulgar outburst speaks volumes about you as an individual…
Islam is a way of life…. the way you speak, walk,talk, and live.
If you can't respect others then at least respect yourself.
May Almighty Allah keep us on the right path.
The differences mentioned in the article is about the bralvi school of thought.In fact the followers of all major 4 schools are sunnies who have difference of opinion within themselves about what has been discussed therein.Therefore it has wrongly been claimed in the article to be the differences between sunnies and wahabis.There should be no violence by any one to impose their own brand of Islam.
i wish to be getting email messages from these site on sunni and wahabi.
I hate wahabis.
i hate those who do shirk with unknown gods, like grave of unknown persons
Wahhabis do not follow orthodox Islam , the Sunni muslims trace their knowledge to Sahaba and through Ahlu Bayt . All the Four Imams trace their knowledge right back to Prophet pbh himself
Misconception created by this article about not following an Imam, Most of the Imam Hanbali Followers are labelled as Wahabi. Official Fiqh of Saudi Arabia is Hanbali.
Please educate yourself before totally enforcing your point of view.
Why does the followers of Islam us the TITLE Allah for the NAME of God, rather than his real name? The Hebrew form is Yahweh or the English form Jehovah.
Totally biased article… this article is not comparing Sunni and wahabi but Sufism and Wahabism.. Sunni Muslims donot believe n follow the practices mentioned above
Eliminate music and listening to songs. They are against watching television and drawings of living things which contain a soul is don by Sunni not only done by wahabi … And one more thing is that many wahabi and Sunnis both listen songs and watch t.v but drawing of living things are forbidden in both sects ……
Wahabi follow md wahab najdi but sunni follow Prophet Muhammad Peace be up on him.
Wahabism is a new religion invented by abdul wahab najdi bin 18th century by misscoding Quran and Hadees
According to shiryat or Islamic point of views those Muslim who don't follow the holy path of prophit Mohammad s a w never called Muslim I challenge
Assalam alikum varahmatullahi vabrakatuhu.
Dear brothers and sisters.
Can i ask one question?
Who we are?
You may think what kind of question is this?
Yeah i know that.but think dearest brothers and sisters.we are following who?we all know we have to follow Mohammad (S).he (s)never ever told us to break in to sect.did he?no.then why we need sect.he was a greatman.we are not the follower of some sheiks and scholers.we are the follower of muhammad(s).then think and learn about his teaching as sunnah by his sahabas and followed by their three generation.they all teaches us the thousands of authentic hadeeth as sunnah of prophet (s).and the one and only the book of allah quraan.these are the two things we need to follow.dont follow any sect.because they are not gonna help us here after.they are not.so keep study and learn quraan and hadeeth and emprace it in our life.thats the real msg.so brothers and sisters dont hate each other.we are all muslim.because this is the teaching of prophet (s). Allah says in surah al imran 3:103
وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنْهَا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُو
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.
So please obay the commandment of Allah and prophet muhammad (s).
May allah guide us through the right direction.and gave us the jannathul firdous.
Ameeen ya rabbal aalameen.
Asslam alikum varahmatullahi vabrakatuhu.
Dear all,
I would like to give my opinion on all this. I will agree with author that the so called sunni world has had lots of falsehood. I would ask you to think well. Why did our prophet came,you are all saying we are one ummah. Really!!!!!then you are all saying Allah was wrong he sent our prophet. Arabs in mecca believed in Allah at the time of the prophet but a big but there were also worshipping idols. So why dont you all say that he should leave to all to judge. Please go back in time and read historians book about imam wahab and you will see more clearly. If you are the ummah of muhammad ( saw) then stop doing all the things were being done before his coming like doing yrs for saints or believe in sufism or whatever,this was never the message of our dear prophet and definitely muslim who does that is not part of the ummah
We should follow Quran , Sunnat , sahaba and Imam Hassan Hussain (A.S). We should not follow al wahab because he is nothing agaist them.He teached us wrong about our prophet (P.B.U.H) people who follow wahab don't love Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H).
Sunni who know about islam like me we don't worship saints.we just respect them because with their teaching lots of people became muslim we just go to their grave recite surah fatiha and pray to ALLAH that make us like these saints and good people and make us one of them you love most.

Katie has been rabble-rousing on behalf of legalizing laying hens in her small town. A fellow chicken blogger recently mentioned the Martha Stewart Show was doing an episode on backyard hens, and they were looking for an audience full of chicken keepers. Turns out the show was filming during the same week we were going to be in PA. This is how we found our selves here :
Hello New York City and the Martha Stewart Show! Rain, cold, and a long wait didn't deter us. We were eventually ushered into the studio, after the chance to buy Martha souvenirs. I did my part and picked the set of rainbow glitter.
(Oh yes, that is the set behind us.)
Some super brave, ambitious folks brought hens with them. The chickens were amazingly well behaved, although they did not care for the hip hop (Snoop-Dogg!) blaring to pump up the crowd. (The people with chickens in their laps were provided with matching taupe towels to keep their laps clean during the taping. Classy.) The studio was cold, but all the lights kept us warm.
A picturesque coop was the backdrop for Martha's chats with her guests, my favorite of which was Jan Brett.
It turns out Jan Brett isn't just a talented children's book author and illustrator, she also keeps show chickens. She brought several of her pretty hens with her. I hadn't anticipated getting free stuff, but we ended up with an armful. Jan Brett's newest book is my favorite freebie. Storey Publishing sent us home with two books on raising chickens, and we also recieved photographer Stephen Green-Armytage newest book of chicken photography. We clapped and grinned when appropriate and were pretty much dumbfounded by the entire experience. Martha is endearingly fond of her hens.

Chapter 35: Feeling UneasyMature
"Now, Lily. I'm going to let you up. Be a good little girl and don't run away, otherwise, I'm going to have to hurt you."
Lily could see the anger in his eyes and knew how dangerous this man could be. He had done things to her... Things she would never forget. But she had survived him. Just. She took a deep breath and shut her eyes for only a second. She mustered a nod and so the man released her.
The thought of running never entered her mind. She knew how fast he was.
* * * * *
"Run little girl. You know that I'm going to find you!"
Lollie hid behind a little wooden crate. It was only just large enough to obscure her body from view. She hit at the wood in an attempt to break part of it off to use as a weapon but it was just making noise. She could hear his footsteps getting closer. She pulled away from the box, getting her already ripped clothes caught on a splinter. Instead of hesitating and sorting herself out, she just ran, not caring that part of her top was left behind.
"I can hear your footsteps."
She was panting, desperate to breathe but she knew that if she stopped now, it was all over. So she kept running.
"I love it when I have to chase you."
The tears were rolling down her face. Every stunted breath burnt her lungs and every step made her feel the pain in her cut feet even more. She could feel the wind rushing against her face, through her hair and her clothes, and resented it. It was free. It was tormenting her.
"But you know how this will end, Lily."
His voice filled her ears. She had got further than ever before. She knew that this was her chance. Now or never.
"I will catch you. And tell me, what will happen when I do?"
She turned, hoping to see him far away. But she saw nothing - nobody was chasing her. She slowed to a stop.
"Tell me Lily."
She spun on the spot. Clive lept out of the shadows and grabbed her, lifting her from the ground and spinning her to see her face. She felt his face press up against hers and winced.
"Tell me!"
As he shouted, she screamed. Hoping to have weakened his grip, she struggled and tried to free herself. She could feel his face again, his lips warm against her cheek.
"You aren't going anywhere. You are mine."
"Please." she said weakly.
And with that she let darkness wash over her, willing it to do so. For she knew that if she felt what he was about to do, she wouldn't be able to live with herself.
* * * * *
"So I take it you remember me, Lily."
"People don't call me that anymore."
"Then what should I call you?"
"My name is Lollie."
"Very 70s. Ready?"
"I'm dead."
"So am I."
"So it won't work any more. You can't hurt me like you used to."
"What makes you think that?"
"Is that it then? You've come all this way just for that?"
He nodded with satisfaction.
"You are sick."
"Why thank you Lollie."
"Why won't you just leave me alone?"
"That's not how things work though is it?"
"That was so long ago, Clive."
"But we agreed, Lily."
"What you did shattered that."
"I disagree. Remember what we said?"
"Get lost!"
She turned but he grabbed her hair and pulled, hard. She could feel his face against her again, just as she had all those years ago. His mouth opened and soft words spilled directly into her ear.
"Say it, my dear. Say those words you said to me that day."
"I take you to be my husband until death do us part." she shuddered as she said the words.
"But it hasn't has it? We're together again. Death did not part us."
"So what?"
"To have and to hold. Just like old times, eh Lil?"
"You aren't...?" she was afraid. So afraid.
"Oh Lily. Of course I am! How else am I supposed to act? I am at last reunited with you, my wife."

Roof partially collapses as home destroyed in fire
by: Jim Bradley Updated:
MINT HILL, N.C. - Investigators still don't know what started a massive fire that destroyed a home Thursday morning on Eagle Claw Court in Mint Hill.
Emergency crews were still on scene Thursday afternoon and smoke could still be seen from the fire that closed off roads and sent dozens of firefighters rushing to the neighborhood.
The house still stands, barely, a skeleton of what it was before. Minutes before 11 a.m., a neighbor drove by and with her cellphone recorded the flames leaping through the roof.
Crews from seven volunteer fire departments surrounded the house, which gushed so much smoke it could be seen miles away in the center of Mint Hill, where Leslye Vasser was shopping.
"I got excited, because my house is right behind (here), and I needed to come over here to find out what was going on," she said.
Vasser saw smoke and flames while firefighters saw a roofline collapsing right in front of them. It was so quick, they barely had time to get out of the way.
"We had to pull our guys out of three different times because of how much fire had spread through the structure at the time," said Assistant Chief David Leath with Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department.
More than two hours went by, with firefighters battling hot spots, before others were able to move inside.
Investigators huddled with the owner, who said he or she had left around 8 a.m.
Jerry Cifaldi said when he heard there was a fire, he rushed home to make sure it wasn't his home.
"It's terrible," he said.
Fire investigators have not said how or where the fire may have started. Initial indications don't point to anything suspicious.

Sgt. Troy
"Bartender, another round!" I slurred, tossing back a shot. A few of my fellow soldiers laughed and downed their drinks as well. The bar had some heavy metal band playing, the bass vibrating my insides. The bartender returned with a sour look on her face, she quickly filled my glass and left before I had a chance to hit on her. I tired, I thought chuckling to myself.
"Hey Sergeant. Need a ride back to base?" I glanced over one of the younger soldiers and nodded. Going to a base by yourself, especially when you were smashed, was a good way to get yourself in trouble. The kid pointed out the window to a car, it's lights flashed momentarily. I drunkenly grinned, it was a nice sports car though was vision was too skewed to tell the make or model. Drinking the shot, I stood and stumbled towards the door.
"Easy Sergeant, let me help you." A fellow Sergeant, Cain, put my arm over his shoulder and helped me out to the car. Being wasted always helped the memories of the past fade, if only momentarily. The car door opened an Cain eased me into the passenger seat. The lights outside, glittering and spinning wildly. I promptly thanked Cain and shut the door. The driver got in and started the car, causing it's engine to growl and purr. Before I knew it, I was passed out.
An alarm blared in my, startling me off my bed. Rubbing my eyes, I checked the time, 0500hrs (or 5:00am). Shit, I had an important meeting with my CO concerning a new assignment. Hurriedly, I threw on a pair of Forest colored Cammies and tucked in my dog tags. I grabbed a pair of Tylenol off the counter to help combat my hang over. After lacing up my boots, I strapped my M9 semi-automatic pistol in it's leg holster. Before leaving, I gave myself a once over in the mirror. I had shaved blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, a scar running across the lower right side of my face. Being shot does that to you. Sprinting to the meeting, I arrived just in time. Commander Joseph turned and glared, but said nothing. When everyone was in the briefing room he started.
"Men, by order of the President, we will be handing out new assignments today. This new mission will be known as Operation Guardian. Each one of you will be assigned a household, the family within will be your responsibility. Having said that, not only is it your job to protect them, but it also your job to...help them realize. To agree that having government in there lives is the best thing to happen to them. Understood?" In unison, we all shouted a resounding 'Yes, Sir.' The commander nodded and grabbed a clipboard off the wall.
"Assignments are as follows; Corporal Lewis- Bucannon Family, Corporal Howe- Rockchester Family, Sergeant Troy- Josh Family...." I walked over to the tack board and located the name and corresponding address. The family was also listed as having a teenage daughter. Just my luck, I get stuck with teenage brat. Sighing I turned and left the room, walking down the hallway. I reached the main door and stepped outside, waiting for us was a large diesel truck that would drop us and our gear at our respective homes.
The ride took two hours until we finally reached my stop. Shouldering my gear, I hopped down off the truck and headed to the houses front door. I knocked a few times and waited, a woman finally opened the door.
"Can I help you?" she asked, a bit confused.
"Ms. Josh, I'm Sergeant Troy. I'm your protection."

My friend had sneakily changed into a shirt before going out, however not expecting to stay I was still wearing an old blue jumper.

Kevin Garnett and the Celtics close up a five-game road trip in Utah on Monday night.The Boston Celtics (29-27, 9-18 away) visit the Utah Jazz (31-25, 21-6 home) on Monday night at EnergySolutions Arena (9 p.m., CSN). Here's what to watch for:
* BREAK AWAITS: The road-weary Celtics play their fifth game in seven days to wrap up this grueling west-coast trip. Boston has already been swept in three other road back-to-backs this season, including the Nuggets-Lakers combo to start this trip. While this game screams danger for the Celtics, they can empty the tank knowing a much-needed break looms. After Monday's game, Boston plays just once (a visit from the Warriors on Friday) over a seven-day span. That said, four of Boston's next six games are on the road and the Celtics absolutely have to find a way to grind out some wins away from home if they want to make their playoff path as agreeable as possible.
* SYNERGY SNAPSHOT: The Jazz rank 13th overall offensively averaging 0.925 points per play, according to Synergy Sports data. Utah struggles with spot-up shooting (shooting a mere 36.9 percent in that play type), but the team's size helps mask some deficiencies away from the basket. Keep an eye on Randy Foye as he's coming off a scoreless effort against the Clippers, but has quietly been the team's most efficient scorer, averaging 1.006 points per play and posted double-digit output in 14 of his last 16 games overall. He's a nice outside complement (along with now-healthy Gordon Heyward) alongside Utah's big bodies. Defensively, the Jazz rank 22nd overall allowing 0.936 points per play. Utah is 29th in the league against spot-up shooting and 27th against pick-and-roll ball-handlers -- two play types that account for more than 30 percent of opponents' total plays.
* SEVENTH HEAVEN: It's a battle of current seventh seeds when the Celtics and Jazz meet. Boston has a comfortable two-game edge over the Milwaukee Bucks (and a six-game lead over both Toronto and Philadelphia) in the East. Utah is 1½ games up on Houston in the West, but has to keep an eye on the Lakers as they sit 2½ games back while trying to sneak their way into the postseason. Boston and Utah are pretty similar: Thriving at home and unable to do much on the road. The Jazz have won 12 of their last 14 at EnergySolutions Arena.
* CAN C'S PLAY SMALL BALL?: The Celtics have leaned heavy on small ball since the All-Star break -- almost out of necessity amidst minor roster tweaks at the deadline -- and was able to force Phoenix to match up in its lone win this trip. The question is whether they can hang with Utah when the Jazz are unlikely to ever go small. If Boston can't generate consistent stops and fuel itself in transition, then Utah will be content to stay big and dominate the glass. With the Celtics likely to lean even heavier on Jeff Green amidst its lack of big bodies, Boston has to find a way to be more competitive on the glass when players like Green and Chris Wilcox are inconsistent rebounders off the bench.

2015 CMT Music Awards Winners
The announcement of the 2015 CMT Awards winners began early Wednesday night (June 10) with a couple of tomatoes.
The announcement of the 2015 CMT Awards winners began early Wednesday night (June 10) with a couple of tomatoes.
President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will appear in the opening segment of tonight's CMT Music Awards. It is a comedy bit and it's the second time that presidential candidates have appeared on the award show.
Toss back those red solo cups, as Toby Keith has signed on to host the 2012 CMT Music Awards, which will air Wednesday, June 6 at 8PM ET on CMT and at CMT.com. The country superstar will be joined by actress Kristen Bell, who will co-host alongside him. We're beyond excited to see how well Keith and Bell play off one another.
In case you hadn't figured it out by now, we at KNUE are huge supporters of the Eli Young Band. We've watched them go from four college guys playing small Texas bars to ACM Winners. So their continued success is no surprise to us.
If you watched the CMT Music Awards this past Wednesday, you no doubt saw Jason Aldean team up with Rapper Ludacris on Jason's latest single, 'Dirt Road Anthem.' According to The Boot.com, when they offered the possibility of Ludacris, Jason then asked him to write a verse for 'Dirt Road Anthem.' When he heard what the performer had written, which referenced a six-pack on ice, a good southern breeze, Kenny Rogers and "Mr. Aldean, I call him Jason," the singer said he knew it would work.
Jason Aldean who's last 2 singles and the title of his album all come from the brain of Brantley Gilbert (My Kinda Party, Dirt Road Anthem off his album My Kinda Party) sang at The CMT Music Awards last night with a surprise guest Georgia rapper Ludacris!
Now for those who don't know the song was originally sung/rapped by Brantley Gilbert and Colt Ford. And it was hugely popular with their fans in the south from Georgia on over here to Texas. But before everyone starts rippin on Aldean I talked to Brantley a while back and he is a huge fan of Aldean and the fact that he's covering his songs, here's what he said.
This Wednesday it's the much anticipated 'CMT Music Awards' on CMT and cmt.com This year there are Five big contenders for the 'Female Video of the Year'. Sara Evans 'A Little Bit Stronger,' Carrie Underwood 'Undo It,' Miranda Lambert' The House That Built Me,' Reba McEntire 'Turn On The Radio' and Taylor Swift 'Mine.'
Which one will take home the prize? My pick is Miranada Lambert! Check out all 5 videos and decide for yourself after the jump.
Shania Twain will make her first appearance in seven years on the CMT Music Awards, as she is set to be a presenter on the June 8 broadcast reports The Boot. Other presenters include , Luke Bryan, Sheryl Crow, Justin Bieber, 'American Idol' winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alania.
Shania has been in the studio working on a new song with producer David Foster.
Welcome back Shania, we've missed you! Check out some classic Shania after the jump.
The CMT Music Awards are coming up on June 8th and the Video of the Year category includes 9 videos! The nominees are; Lady Antebellum 'Hello World,' Kenny Chesney 'The Boys of Fall,' Jason Aldean 'My Kinda Party,' Taylor Swift 'Mine,' The Band Perry 'If I Die Young,' Rascal Flatts 'Why Wait,' Zac Brown Band 'Colder Weather,' Miranda Lambert 'The House That Built Me,' and Carrie Underwood 'Undo It.'
Who will take home the prize? Personally, I think it should go to Kenny Chesney for 'The Boys of Fall.' It was unique, inspiring and had a lot of production quality!
Take a look after the jump.
I absolutely love the Zac Brown Band! The Grammy award winning Zac Brown Band is up for 3 CMT Music Awards this year. 'Colder Weather' is nominated for Best Video and Best Group Video. Zac Brown Band is also nominated for Best CMT Performance of the year for their new single, 'Knee Deep' Featuring Jimmy Buffett. The CMT Music Awards is set for June 8th on CMT and CMT.com
The ZAc Brown Band is on the 'Goin' Coastal' tour with Kenny Chesney, Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker. Click here for tour dates!
I thought I would share my 'Top Zac Picks' for ya! Enjoy these videos after the jump!
Country music's hottest stars will be in Nashville for the 2011 CMT Music Awards, including performers Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, and Sugarland. It's the 10th anniversary of country music's first fan-voted awards show, the 2011 CMT Music Awards will air live June 8 at 7 p.m. on CMT and CMT.com. Enjoy some videos from some of the performers after the jump.

GOSHEN – As Anderson County ascended to the top of the Eighth Region girls' basketball rankings this season, the buzz word has been focus.
"Forget the lofty rankings," has been the mantra. "Just stay focused and play hard. Everything else takes care of itself."
Monday night, the Lady Bearcats were more focused than someone who had just gotten a good report from the eye doctor.
Anderson County's trek to the Sweet 16 ended just short Friday night.
Two-time defending champion Oldham County pulled away in the fourth quarter to post a 79-64 win over the Bearcats in the boys' Eighth Region Tournament at Henry County High School.
Clinging to a 55-54 lead with 6:37 to play, Oldham reeled off 10 straight points to take firm control.
GOSHEN – Grant County might not have known what it was running into Thursday night.
Anderson County, ranked No. 2 in nearly every statewide poll for most of the girls' basketball season, ran off the first 11 points on its way to beating Grant 64-31 in the first round of the Eighth Region Tournament at North Oldham High School.
NEW CASTLE – It all came down to one defensive stop.
Ross Cox made it and Christian Estes sank two free throws with 2.2 seconds left to give Anderson County a 50-47 win over Owen County in a heart-stopper in the first round of the Eighth Region Tournament Monday night.
SHELBYVILLE – About the only surprise in Anderson County's 54-26 win over Spencer County in the 30th District semi-final last Tuesday was that the margin wasn't worse.
Anderson controlled the opening tip, got a 3-pointer from Alex Avritt on its first possession and never looked back as the Lady Bearcats claimed their 20th straight win and improved to 28-1.
SHELBYVILLE – Every game is different, but Austin Cummins might wish things would turn out like they did last Tuesday every time he steps on the basketball court.
A sophomore whose status for the post-season was in question just a few days before, Cummins blistered the nets for 36 points and a school record as Anderson County routed Shelby County, 77-37, in the boys' 30th District semi-final at Collins High School.
The Eighth Region Girls' Basketball Tournament will be held at North Oldham High School for the first time.
It is now down to three games for the Anderson County girls' basketball team.
Three Eighth Region Tournament games to put an exclamation point on a historic season or to have a bitter ending.
It is a typical Kentucky February as I write this month's column. It is actually sunny and 60 degrees, windy and feels more like early April with spring turkey season coming on. I just spent the last hour or so checking game cameras and walking some fence rows in search of antler sheds. The weather feels great today but by "typical Kentucky February" I mean things will change weather wise.

The board approved a salary pool increase of 2.5%. Why is the general increase given to most staff 2.0%?
The 2.5% pool of funds available for staff salary increases will be used for:
What role does the staff senate compensation committee play in making recommendations to the university?
The staff senate compensation committee is appointed by the staff senate to draft a proposal for staff compensation for review by the senate, before being presented to the Budget Task Force for their consideration. After the university budget has been approved by the board of trustees, the committee submits a proposal recommending the distribution of funds available for staff salary increases first to the senate for review and then to Human Resources.
This year the staff senate compensation committee proposed to Human Resources that the 2.5% staff salary increase pool be distributed in the following manner:
2.0% to be divided equally among all eligible staff members in increments of $1,000; not to exceed an increase higher than 5.0% nor lower than 0.08% of the staff member's current salary
0.5% for market/equity increases
0.0% for performance-based merit increases
The committee's proposal was included in the overall proposal that Human Resources presented to the president's cabinet. In consultation with Human Resources, the president's cabinet approved a 2.0% across-the-board increase to maximize the benefit to all staff while minimizing compensation compression and still allowing for needed market and internal equity adjustments. After receiving the president's approval on how the salary increase pool will be distributed, Human Resources notified the staff senate compensation committee of the outcome and invited their questions.
What positions will be eligible for market and internal equity adjustments?
The allocation of market and internal equity adjustments this year will largely focus on market adjustments related to the Department of Labor (DOL) FLSA legislation which increases the annual salary exemption threshold for exempt staff from $23,600 to $47,476. Human Resources is in consultation with cabinet members regarding exempt staff who currently fall below the threshold and is developing plans for addressing this new rule.
Additionally, some Puget Sound positions may need adjustments based on how they are currently paid compared to other positions in the external labor market and/or at Puget Sound. To ensure that we are able to retain staff and/or attract qualified candidates in areas falling below external market comparisons, some staff members will receive a market adjustment in addition to the 2.0% general increase. Internally, adjustments may be warranted when individuals in comparable positions with similar experience are paid differently, or when individuals in comparable positions with different amounts of experience are paid the same amount.
Why aren't we providing merit increases in 2016-17?
The current focus is to achieve 100% participation in Puget Sound's recently updated performance appraisal process and to improve that process to provide a meaningful foundation upon which supervisors and staff can set and reach individual goals that further Puget Sound's ability to meet its strategic objectives. Annual reviews also provide the opportunity to recognize and reward staff members' efforts, performance and achievement of goals. Staff Senate, the Cabinet, and Human Resources agree that the performance appraisal process is an essential foundation that should be in place before consideration of a structured merit program.
What does it mean to be performing below expectations?
Staff members who have been or will be formally apprised of below-expected job performance may not receive the 2.0% general increase. This includes staff placed on notice of possible termination of employment through the performance review process, a formal performance development plan, or other form of written corrective action. Decisions about these uncommon circumstances will be made by the department head and the division cabinet member in consultation with Human Resources.
What is the lowest general increase that a staff member can expect?
No staff member in a regular position will receive an increase of less than 2.0% of his or her current base pay rate, unless a staff member has performed below expectations or was hired after March 31, 2016.
Does the university always grant general salary increases based on the staff member's current base pay rate?
No. The total funding available for salary increases is recommended by each year's Budget Task Force, considered by the president, and then forwarded to the board of trustees for approval. Because the funding and overall conditions change from year to year, the allocation plan approved by the president may change accordingly to best address circumstances and strategic objectives.
Do other universities typically award salary increases in this way?
Each organization chooses an approach to salary increases based on its resources, policies, and culture. Some organizations award only performance-based increases, some award across-the-board increases only, and some award flat-dollar or step increases only, while most attempt to annually balance equity, market competitiveness and meritorious performance against available resources by using some combination of these approaches. In some years, organizations are not able to offer salary increases at all.
How do Puget Sound's staff salary increases compare with other employers?
Puget Sound's 2016-17 staff increase is competitive compared with our regional peers. Of the 11 northwest independent colleges that responded to an April 2016 survey, the median 2016-17 staff salary increase pool is 2.0% for both exempt and non-exempt staff. This figure is less than Puget Sound's staff salary increase pool of 2.5% and equal to the 2.0% general increase most Puget Sound staff will receive. The majority of these institutions have salary pool increases ranging from 2% to 3%, with one institution having an increase of less than 2% and two institutions not offering increases in 2016-17. Some schools will offer across-the-board increases only; some will have market, equity and/or merit adjustments; and some will use a combination of these approaches.
How has the cost of living changed during the last twelve months?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers [CPI-U] nationally was 0.33% higher during the most recent twelve-month period than during the previous twelve-month period. Comparing the same periods, the average CPI-U in the Seattle – Tacoma – Bremerton regional CPI-U increased by 1.57%.
How has the annual salary pool increase been distributed in recent years?

Hi Mariela:
The condo in Miami was adequate. As a female I was disappointed that there was no washer/dryer in the condo. The kitchen pots/pans were also adequate but did not have anything if I needed to do any mixing/baking (measuring cups). Other than that it was ok. Also not enough towels or kitchen dish cloths. A few extra blankets would have been nice even if you just want to sit on the sofa and watch tv. Also there was no sink stopper so it was difficult to do dishes. Had to use a big pot.
We do appreciate the quick response when we couldn't get into the condo. It was very much appreciated. Thank you Mariela for your quick attention to our issues and resolution. Bye Lucy and Paul.
Das Appartement ist sauber, nahe am Strand und eine Einkaufstraße samt Supermarkt gleich ums Eck. An Ausstattung ist alles vorhanden was man normalerweise braucht.
Die Parkplatzsuche kann dauern, da ist zwar ein riesiger Parkplatz der CVS Pharmacie gleich nebenan, der ist aber streng genommen nur für CVS-Kunden ;-).
Mit Glück kann man auch einen Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus ergattern. Parkplätze Richtung Strand sind kostenpflichtig.
En bra lägenhet för 2-4 personer, ren och fräsch. Med all nödvändig utrustning. Enkel och bra kommunikation med Mariela.
Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt in einer schönen Unterkunft. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war hervorragend und unkompliziert. alle Angaben zur Wohnung und Lage sind perfekt für den Urlaub in miami. gern kommen wir wieder!

Mariela and her place are 10 out of 10. The flat is very well localed and Mariela has given us very useful advice!
The apartment was very clean and we felt like home from the beginning. The bedroom was small but had enough space and we could use a little living room with TV for our own. For New York it was a really quiet place and centrally situated. Mariella is a very nice person, very friendly and always helpful.
I can highly recommend! Mariela was nice and very helpful. The location was perfect for us, close to Lincoln Center and Central Park. We enjoyed our stay.
Perfect location, spotless house and Mariela really very nice!! I recommend it!!!

VIRAL NOW: World's Toughest Job
A video called "World's Toughest Job" is getting millions of hits on YouTube. It's a guy interviewing people for a FAKE job, which requires 135 hours a week on your FEET, with no breaks. And it pays NOTHING.
So obviously no one's interested. But by the end, you find out the job he's describing is being a MOM. And the whole thing is a Mother's Day ad for greeting cards.
(He reveals it's a prank at 2:44. And don't miss the woman who gets choked up talking about her mom at 3:35.)
On-Air Weekday Mornings 5 am - 10 am
I grew up Radford, Virginia but I was actually born in Bangkok, Thailand. (Army Brat) While attending Virginia Tech I worked at WKEX Radio. My first job was to wear the station's mascot costume. I was the "Wacky Bird!" After graduation I moved to Myrtle Beach and was a radio reporter for WNMB. I later worked as a reporter for a Florence based TV station. I moved on from there to a radio station in Richmond, VA then on to Cleveland, Ohio where I worked for Power 108. After one winter in Cleveland I knew I needed a little warmer climate.I was hired as the Morning Co-host and News Director of K-92 in Roanoke, VA. It is at that station where I met Mo. He was hired as K-92�s nighttime jock. After about 8 months, Mo was moved up to do mornings with me. We were dating at the time but nobody knew about it. We got married in 1994 and have been together ever since. Mo and I left K-92 and went to do mornings at B-103 in Richmond, Virginia. Then in 1999 we came to South Florida. We've been on several stations in the West Palm Beach area but KOOL 105.5 has been our professional home since 2003. We have a home in Palm Beach Gardens that we share with our cats Stifler, Stewie and Cleveland. (All strays!)(By the way if my last name seems familiar to those of you who watched the CBS Evening News back in the day, my Uncle was reporter/commentator Eric Sevareid.)
