Why do Sunni Muslims condemn Shia Muslims' depiction of prophets and imams in Iranian Islamic historical movies?
I'm curious about something - Why do Sunni Muslims condemn Shia Muslims' depiction of prophets and imams in Iranian Islamic historical movies?
Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims have different beliefs about the rightful leaders of the Muslim community. Shia Muslims believe that the true leaders are the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad through his cousin Ali, while Sunni Muslims believe that leadership should be determined by election or consensus among Muslims. This leads to differences in the interpretation of Islamic history and the portrayal of historical figures. Additionally, Sunni Muslims may object to the use of actors to portray religious figures, which is seen as disrespectful.
