Difference between suuni and shiite Muslims?
The core difference between shiite Muslims and sunni Muslims dates back to the moment of the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. This story is rarely recounted, and as a result, there has been growing ignorance within the Muslim community due to the lack of knowledge. The Shiite belief is that before the passing of the Holy Prophet, he had chosen a successor to continue the mission of spreading the word of Islam to his cousin, Imam Ali. This was as commanded by God rather than the Prophet's own will and choice. For this reason, Shiite Muslims believe that the true message of Islam has been sent down through the Prophet's bloodline and close family. On the other hand, it is believed that Sunni Muslims follow the rulings of the close companions of the Prophet. It was decided by the companions that a political vote be held to determine who will lead the Muslim community at the time, in contrast to God's will. Despite this, both Sunni and Shiite Muslims follow the same book, the Holy Quran. I hope this has answered your question :)
