FIRAQ
FIRAQ
THE SECTS
One Religion. 72 Deviant Sects.
The history of how some fractured into deviated sects, and what they believe today. Firaq has returned, and every episode is available now.
Presented by
Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan
You’ve been asked to pick a side.
But nobody gave you the full picture.
The Muslim world is being told to unite, but unite with whom?
The Shia are not one group. They are dozens of sects spanning 1,400 years, from a man who claimed Ali is God, to a dynasty that stole the Black Stone for 22 years, to modern movements that reject the Qur’an’s obligations entirely.
It’s time you learnt their history.
The Series
What You'll Learn
Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan takes you through every major sect and offshoot from mainstream Islam, their founders, their beliefs, and their sources, using both Sunni and Shia references.
01
The Events After the Prophet ﷺ Passed Away
What actually happened. The correct narrative sourced from both Sunni and Shia primary texts.
02
Every Major Sect and Offshoot
Who founded them, when they emerged, and where they diverge — from the earliest extremists to the groups that exist today.
03
Their Aqeedah, Their Sources, Their Claims
Examined through the classical heresiographical texts and the Shia’s own rijal and doctrinal works.
04
The Modern Political Landscape
How these groups operate today on a geopolitical level and why it matters now more than ever.

The Approach
The Method
Read it yourself. We just show you where.
01
Sourced
Every quote referenced. Every claim traced to the original evidence.
02
Compared
Sunni and Shia texts compared side by side. Both traditions examined with equal rigour. Nothing cherry-picked.
03
You Decide
Ustadh Abdulrahman shows you the references and the chains. He doesn’t ask you to take his word. The conclusion is yours.
Is This For You
For the Muslim who refuses to be ignorant about 1,400 years of their own history.
You've been told that Sunnis and Shia are just different groups, and felt something was missing.
You want references, not rhetoric.
You're a student of knowledge, a da'ee, or an educator who needs to speak on this topic with confidence and evidence.
You're a Muslim who believes that understanding your history is going to help the state of the ummah.
