Answer 2

When the Prophet Mohammed died, he didn’t leave an immediate successor to carry on as the head of Islam. He instead wanted it to be a sort of democracy and said Islam was not to have any pope like figure in which one person would lead the Muslim world.

The split occurred when Muhammad elected his Uncle to be the new Caliph of Islam, but his nephew Ali was already his successor. So the main rift is the Sunni Muslims followed Abu’Bakker and the Shi’ite followed Ali.

There are also a lot of little stupid things that became over time, but they both follow the Quran and all the things in it.

Answer 3

The Sunni Muslims are a group of worshippers who belief in Alquran and Alhadith, However, a Shi'ite Muslims are worshippers who only belief in Prophet Muhammad son-in-law, Saidina Ali alaihisalam. You will be able to understand the difference if you are a Muslim. you will not be able to understand if, you are otherwise.

There are crazies in all subject count and the shia are the crazies in faith. The shia do no longer settle for Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, I surely have heard the shia swear at them and get in touch with Umar a homosexuals, (would Allah forged them in to the Hell hearth for such suggestions) there grow to be no such element as a shia interior the situations of those kaleefs, it is something that grow to be made up lots after a popularity grow to be given to them who theory that Ali had the authority of management after the demise of the Prophet. in accordance to the Hadith Muhammad (observed) pronounced "From the Jews there will be seventy one sects of religion, seventy two type the Christian faith and there will be seventy 3 sects of religion from my faith of Islam, and all those will circulate to hell different than a million. somebody asked who's that one sect which will circulate to Heaven and his respond grow to be those that save on with the Koran and my Sunnah. We regard the words of Rosool to be certainty, so it ability the shias are destined for the Hell hearth
