what's the difference between the Islam shia and sunni plz could you explain me?

Question

I'd like to know if the shia muslims go to the mecca in arabia... why the muslims shia believe in saints? what's the difference between both?

Answer 1

All Muslims go to Mecca. It is one of the main teachings in Islam to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime.

The main difference between the two has to do with who should succeed Mohammed.

The Sunni believe it would be a man who was capable of doing the job. Abu Bakr was the first chosen. They believe that leadership was not a common birthright but rather a privilege.

The Shia believe that the Imam (religious teachers) are sinless by nature. They become saints capable of divine intervention. Shia make pilgrimages to the tombs of the saints.

The Sunni do not believe there is any basis for the existence of saints in Islam.

The Shia reject the Hadith(traditions). These were written by the friends and relatives of Mohammed and have to do with the life and practices of Mohammed.

There are many more differences, but these are the main ones.

The Shia believe the leadership should remain within Mohammed's family. They believe the true successor was Ali, who was the cousin and son-in-law of Mohammed. They believe that the Sunni assassinated Ali.

Sunni

Answer 2

the difference is not spiritual but political The division between Shia and Sunni dates back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad, and the question of who was to take over the leadership of the Muslim nation. Sunni Muslims agree with the position taken by many of the Prophet's companions, that the new leader should be elected from among those capable of the job. This is what was done, and the Prophet Muhammad's close friend and advisor, Abu Bakr, became the first Caliph of the Islamic nation. The word "Sunni" in Arabic comes from a word meaning "one who follows the traditions of the Prophet." On the other hand, some Muslims share the belief that leadership should have stayed within the Prophet's own family, among those specifically appointed by him, or among Imams appointed by God Himself. The Shia Muslims believe that following the Prophet Muhammad's death, leadership should have passed directly to his cousin/son-in-law, Ali. Throughout history, Shia Muslims have not recognized the authority of elected Muslim leaders, choosing instead to follow a line of Imams which they believe have been appointed by the Prophet Muhammad or God Himself. The word "Shia" in Arabic means a group or supportive party of people. The commonly-known term is shortened from the historical "Shia-t-Ali," or "the Party of Ali." They are also known as followers of "Ahl-al-Bayt" or "People of the Household" (of the Prophet).
