SUNNI VS. SHI’A (kind of like Catholics vs. Protestants)

*Sunni accept Abu Bakr as the caliphate.*Sunni Muslims are the largest denomination of

Muslims(90%).*Sunni Muslims agree that the new leadershould be elected by a 6 member Muslim committee.*Sunni means “One who follows the traditions of theprophets.” These people study the life of Muhammadand act accordingly.

SHI’A (Shi‘ite, Shi‘ah or Shia) • Shi’a means “the party (followers) of Ali.”• 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 (Ali’s descendants) appointed by God Himself.

• Caliphs are selected through hereditary. • The Shia Muslims believe that following the Prophet

Muhammad's death, leadership should have passed directly to his cousin/son-in-law, Ali the 4th Caliph.

• 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.

SUNNI=Yellow. ShI’A=Red

SUFI

• A third religious sect found within the Muslim religion.

• Sufi’s are like Christian monks.• Sufi give up lives of riches and worldly

possessions to live a life centered around worship of Allah and service.
