Research to improve well-being among Muslims

Dear British Muslims,

I am a PhD student doing research into how we can improve well-being among Muslims living in the UK and I’d really appreciate the help of British Muslims in doing my research.

For those of you who identify themselves as Muslims and are 18 years or older, I’d be very grateful if you could please fill out my questionnaire (should only take about 10 minutes), which you can find at: https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/sussex/well-being.

Please feel free to pass on this link to Muslim friends of family living in the UK!

Many thanks!!

The Promise

Slms,
Has anyone watched this amazing drama on channel 4 called the promise? If you haven't, heres a little info:

Claire Foy and Christian Cooke lead an international cast, including Itay Tiran, Haaz Sleiman, Ali Sulaiman and Perdita Weeks, in Peter Kosminsky's new four-part drama serial.

Just as 18-year-old Londoner Erin sets off to spend summer in Israel with her best friend, Eliza, she unearths an old diary belonging to her seriously ill grandfather, Len. Intrigued by the life of this old man she barely knows, she takes the diary with her, and is stunned to learn of his part in the post-WWII British peace-keeping force in what was then Palestine.

Sunni,Sufi nd Shiya

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?
