Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims share the foundational beliefs of Islam, including the oneness of God, the prophethood of Muhammad, and the importance of the Quran. Both groups observe the Five Pillars of Islam, although they may differ in practices and interpretations. The primary distinction lies in their beliefs about leadership and succession after Muhammad's death, with Sunnis recognizing the elected caliphs and Shias believing in a line of Imams descended from Ali, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law. Despite these differences, both communities aim to worship and follow the teachings of Islam.
