Sunni

Sunni Islam is the largest denomination of Islam, followed by the majority of the world's Muslims. Its name comes from the word sunnah, referring to the behaviour of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The differences between Sunni and Shia Muslims arose from a disagreement over the succession to Muhammad and subsequently acquired broader political significance, as well as theological and juridical dimensions.

Allah (SWT) Knows the destiny of every one from us, but He ordered us to follow and obey the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) as we read in Quran : (Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger and your divine leaders)(AhlulBayt).(Sura 4, verse 59).

Those who obey Allah and His Messenger will win a great win. (Sura 33, verse 71).

We follow Quran and Ahlul Bayt (AS) after the Prophet (SAWA) as he has clearly ordered every Muslim to keep following Quran and Ahlul Bayt. ( Saheeh Muslim 7:123, Sunan Al-Tirmithi  5: 329. Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal 4:267,  Al-Mutadrak ALAL Saheehain by Al-Haakim al-Nisabouri 3L110, Sunan Al-Daarimi 432, Sunan al-Bayhaqi 2:148 and Musannaf ibn Abi Shaibah 7: 418.

Real Islam sent by Allah (SWT) through the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) as the last message for all the mankind till the Day of Judgement is one religion and this fact is clear in Quranic verses. (Verily, the religion by Allah is the Islam)(Sura 3, verse 19).

The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) never allowed following different sects. He always ordered Muslims to follow the Quran and Ahlul Bayt (AS) to remain in the Rught Path. Those sincere companions who followed that original Islam which was preached and practiced by the Prophet (SAWA) and his Progeny (AS) were named by him as Shia of Ali and he praised them in many Hadeeths narrated un Sunni books as well as Shia books.e,g, of Sunni books  Shawaahid Al-Tanzeel by Al-Haakim Al-Hasakani, V.2, P.356, Kifayah Al-Talib by Al-Kanji al-Shafi'ee, P. 244, Lisaan Al-Milan by Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani , V.6, P. 243 Hayderabad Dkkin edition.

'Sunni sects never existed during the time of the Prophet (SAWA) but were created and printed by political leaders who wanted to drive Muslims away from Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Following Real Islam can never happen with out following the real Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWA) which is impossible with out following Ahlul Bayt (AS) who narrated the most authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA).

The Shia Muslims are the real followers of the Sunnah of the Prophet as many leading Sunni scholars admit and Dr Tijani Smawi has written a full book on this fact. You can see it on the internet (Shia are the real followers of the Sunnah) الشيعة هم أهل السنة.

There is no doubt that Nubuwwah is only for the prophets, and it was ended by the Last Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) as it is stated in Quran (Sura Al-Ahzab, verse 40) and the very clear and authentic Hadeeth : O Ali, you are from me like Haroun was from Musa, but there is prophet after me. (Saheeh Muslim, Hadeeth 2404), Saheeh Al-Bukhari , Hadeeth 225).

All the twelve Imams from Ahlul Bayt (AS) who are the real successors of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) are having the great status from his great status (A Progeny who are from him. Sura 3, verse 34) but not prophets at all. 

We are able to distinguish between Nubuwwah and Imamah, although both of them are from Allah (SWT) and we are absolutely ordered to obey the Infallible Imams as we are been ordered to obey the Prophet (SAWA) because of the fact that every order from the Ibfallible Imams is from the Prophet (SAWA) which is from Allah (SWT).

'We respect our pious Ulama but never claim infallibility to any Aalim.

This question comes in performing every religious duty on us as we need to be sure that we do it the correct way. The way to be sure that you follow the most authentic narrations and most authentic Islamic divine leaders among all the different narrations and different leaders. Sunni sects follow Abu Hanifa or Al-Shafi’ or Malik or Ibn Hanbal or Ibn Taymiyyah. Nine of them ever met the Prophet Muhammad or heard from him as all of them were born long after the demise of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). Shia Muslims follow the divine leaders from Ahlul Bayt (AS) who lived with the Prophet and narrated the real Sunnah of the Prophet and the real Tafseer of Quranic verses. Following Ahlul Bayt (AS) means following the Prophetic Islam.

Marriage between Muslims from any Islamic sect is permissible in principle, but if you know that this marriage can harm your faith or religious practice, then you should avoid it because saving your faith and religious practice is more important than marriage. Your mother's happiness can not be through endangering your future. You should explain to her in suitable and polite way your situation and never allow such forced marriage if you feel that it can harm your faith or religious practice.

You could post it here and see if someone can locate it (that is, assuming it exists - some references are incorrect).
