what is the difference between Shitte and Sunnie Muslims?

Answer 1

Shī‘a Islam, also Shi‘ite Islam or Shi‘ism (Arabic شيعة šīʿah), is the second largest denomination of the Islamic faith after Sunni Islam. Shias adhere to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the religious guidance of his family (who are referred to as the Ahl al-Bayt) or his descendents known as Shi'a Imams.Prophet Muhammad's bloodline only continues through his beloved daughter Fatima Zahra and son-in-law Ali which alongside the prophets grandsons are the Ahl al-Bayt. Thus, Shi'as consider Prophet Muhammad's descendents as the true source of guidance while considering the first three ruling Sunni caliphs a historic occurrence and not something attached to faith. The singular/adjective form is šīʿī (شيعي.) and refers to a follower of the faction of Imam Ali according to the Shia ideology.

Sunni Muslims are the largest denomination of Islam. They are referred to as Ahl ul-Sunna (Arabic: أهل السنة; "people of the example (of Muhammad)"). The word Sunni comes from the word sunna (Arabic : سنة ), which means the words and actions [1] or example of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Sunnis are also referred to as Ahl ul-Sunna wa-l-Jama'ah (Arabic: أهل السنة والجماعة) (people of the example (of Muhammad) and the community) which implies that the Sunnis are the majority. They represent the branch of Islam that came through the caliphate, which started with Abu Bakr
