Sunni:Follows the Sunnah and Teachings of Islam Shia: Does New Ideas that Sunni Muslims believe are not in Islam Sufi: they also bring new ideas in Islam that are Not Allowed in Sunni Islam
Islam is the religion preached by Prophet Mohamed (SAW), and does not have any sects. The followers of this religion are called Muslims, and they, unfortunately do have different sects.
There is many Sects in Islam, there is also diffrent types of Sunnis with different beliefs, sub sects within.
Islam is a religion - therefore the answer is Islam.
It was a saying from Prophet Mohamed (peace upon him) that it will come the time in future when Muslims will be segregated in seventy three different sects and only one of them will be on the right path of Islam. So, these 73 sects are not yet a physical reality.
They are Muslims. It is irrelevant to think about which sect they belong to. No sects in Islam with same meaning as in Christianity. The sects in Islam are more or less different schools or different groups that differ only on minor historical issues.
There are more than two factions! Just as there is a multiplicity of different sects and denominations in Christianity, Islam is practiced differently in different countries and by different groups. Although I think the answer you are looking for is Shi'a and Sunni.
There is only one version of Islam . If you means sects , than there are many sects but basic two are Sunni and Shia .
Sects of Islam
Sunni Islam and Shia Islam
it is more accurate in religious sciences if we apply sect instead of branches.therefore we have to say in Islam religion we have two sects,shiite as minority and Sunni as majority.Sunni and shiism are two main sects of islam religion.
Islam is a religion. It has several sects and schools, but it is one religion.
