Sects?

I was thinking of writing books that are specifically realted to one sect of Islam... I don't want to create these because I'm not sure. Also, they'd be outside of other categories and to aid people. Also, only for books accepted by one sect. We wouldn't put the Qur'an as Sunni obviously, however we could put Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya as Ahmadi. I don't want to create these until I get feedback. I'm thinking it should maybe be about religious texts, not religious studies books... it's obviously not well thought out.

Caveats
  • Not sure where tafsir should go exactly - so, for now it will be directly under this category.
  • Islamic texts should be denoting faith based texts as I see it... not interpretation as much. Which puts tafsir, sira, etc. in a tenuous situation of being related to the texts very directly and yet, not part of the texts and more Islamic studies books...
