    The difference between Shia and Sunni factions:On the question of leadership in Islamic society, Sunnis recognized the legitimacy of the four caliphs and later the Umayyad dynasty, the Abbasid dynasty, and the Ottoman Turkish caliphate; The Shiites, on the other hand, believe that only Ali is the legitimate heir of Muhammad and that Islamic society should be led by Ali and his descendants, who are revered as imams.

    In terms of doctrine, Shiites regard belief in Imam as one of their basic tenets, while Sunnis do not recognize it. Due to disagreements over the number of imamutes and the selection of candidates, the Shiites were divided into different tribes. Among them, the mainstream is the 12 Imam, in addition to the Ismaili school, Zaidi school and other non-main code schools.

    Historically, Shiites have developed a hierarchy of religious scholars that includes the Grand Ayatollah, Ayatollah, and Khojath Islam, which is not found in Sunnis. Shiites stipulate that adherents must follow a religious scholar, which gives high-ranking religious scholars enormous social influence.

    Hello, happy to answer your questions. Shia and Sunni are both the two main branches of Islam, and their differences are mainly as follows: 1. Religious beliefs

    There are differences between Shiites and Sunnis in terms of religious beliefs. Shiites believe that the heir of the Prophet Muhammad should be his penitent cousin, son-in-law, and heir, Ali, while Sunnis believe that the heir of the Prophet Muhammad should be one of the four caliphs. This is the core of the belief difference between the two.

    2. Religious rituals: There are also differences between Shiites and Sunnis in religious ceremonies. For example, the "imam" system of Shiites seeking support and asylum is not available to Sunnis; The way of praying for the Shiites is also different from that of the Sunnis.

    3. Religious regulations: Shiites and Sunnis also differ in religious laws. For example, Shiites believe that an interpretation of an imam is acceptable, while Sunnis believe that an acceptable interpretation must come from the canonical hadith and the traditions of the ancient sages.

    4. Historical origins: Shiites and Sunnis are also different in their historical origins. Shia was formed in the early stages of Islam, while Sunnis were formed in the later stages of Islam.

    It is important to note that Shia and Sunni, despite their differences, are both major branches of Islam and both practice religious peace, tolerance, and respect. Therefore, we should respect and understand each other's beliefs and cultures, and avoid conflicts and misunderstandings due to religious differences.
