No, Shi'a is the sect, or party, that among other issues, believes the caliphate should be headed by Mohammed's genetic successors, through his daughter, Fatima. They stand in constrast to the Sunnis, who maintain that traditions established by the Companions should be the controlling factors in who gets to call himself Caliph. The god of Islam is most commonly called Allah, which is a contraction of al-Ilah, "the god."

Why is Iran mostly Shi'ite while other countries are mostly Sunni?
Answer 1When the Battle of Karbala happened cause most of Iranians to convert to Shia Islam. The shia people (even without shia state) and the shia state are two different matter. currently most of people in Bahrain and Azerbaijan are shia Muslims but they are oppressed by dictators supported by US and Saudi Arabia and can not have a democratic election. shia Muslims have their own model of state and government so the political laws of Shia Islam has been always a great danger for dictators and Kings and they had different strategies to prevent shia Muslims to get power in government. some times by war and terror and some times by apparently supporting shia Islam and in fact destroying shia Islam by supporting deviated scholars who distorted and corrupted shia Islam in the name of Islam. those corrupted scholars were like spies who teach deviated and fake hadith and beleifs in stead of real shia Islam. Shia Muslims were being arrested, jailed, executed and oppressed by by sunni dictator Kings during 1000 years and it was the first that a state (Safavids) officially accepted shia Islam as an allowed religion. so shia scholars considered it an opportunity for growing of shia Islam. so instead of fighting with the safavid Kings, shia scholars decided to use it for growth of shia. many great books was written by shia schoolars at safavids. but because shia Islam has laws for selecting the leader any King basically is not accepted by shia Islam. so the Kingdom of Safavid was not an state legitimate by shia Islam but shia scholars did not have enough power to fight it and establish a pure shia state. so Safavids was a mixture of shia Islam state and Kingdom (that basically has conflict with shia Islam). if a Kings want to practice shia Islam first should unsit himself to a qualified leader by shia Islam can lead the country.Answer 2While the Battle of Karbala had an important influence in developing the first strands of Shiite Islam, Iran did not become majority Shiite until the late 1500s. The first Shiite Islamic State was the Zaydi Shiite Idrissid Dynasty of Morocco and the most prominent Shiite Islamic State before 1200 CE was Ismaili Fatimid Egypt. However, the Shiites in these countries were forcibly evicted or converted to Sunni Muslims in successive Islamic Empires (Almohads and Ayyubids/Mamluks respectively). Shiite Islam was generally a repressed religion and Sunni Islam was ascendant.In the 1500s, the Safavid Empire made Twelver Shiite Islam the official religion of the Iranian empire and compelled Sunnis to convert to Shiite Islam within the empire. This led to Shiite Islam being the dominant religion of Iran.
