Muslims: What is an Islamic sect? Do they think your branch, or version of Islam, is a sect?

A sect is a religious group that exists inside of a larger religion. Think of it as a section of a particular religion.

Although objectively speaking a sect is merely a subdivision of a larger religious group, the word often carries with it the feeling of a part of a religion that has broken away. It often has a negative connotation in English because it implies that the group departed from what was standard to believe something different or odd. If you are comparing two sects you might talk about their sectarian differences.

Abraham(A) was the Shiah of Noah(A) as mentioned in Al-Quran ,then Muhammad (PBUH) declared by the order of Allah that He was direct descendent from Abraham(A) then he was the Shiah of Abraham(A).So as we claim ourselves to be Muslims who follow the teaching of Al-Quran and Prophet Muhammad(PBUH), then logically speaking ,we are the Shiah of Muhammad (PBUH) the last Messenger of Allah,similar to the Israelites during the time of Moses (A) were the Shiah of Moses(A) as Al-Quran had mentioned.
