Ryt this is were i get confused :
in islam there are three main tribes
Sunni... Sufi And Shiya
so why are there three main DIFFERENT tribez??
i kno wat sufi's are they dance/.go in2 a trance at the name of allah
and i know wat Shiya's are they wack/harm themselves due to one of their ancestors
but i dont get wat sunni's are (even tho i am one myself)
My father always explains to me wat islam is and how it works but i get confused coz there are also otha names like:
.malik's
.Jatt's
.Raja's
Gujar's
nd so on and so forth .. so how does tis work ? i mean if we r muslimzz does it really matta if we belong in a certain group?
Completely lost here ... :?

There aren't three - there are two: Sunni (80-90%) and Shia (10-15%).
There are other denominations within both camps, where sufis (and salafis) and classed as from the sunni camp.
Clans which are more or less irrelevant in the UK. but in the future you could have the mancunians, the landanistanis, the brummies etc... just ways of labeling people - not inherently good or bad.

These are cultural ways of identifying and grouping people - NOT Islamic.
Sufis are a group within Sunnis.
