Answer A (shia view)shia believes "the cursed tree" in the Quran is Umayyads family tree.shia curses Umayyads and reject them. Yazid, who killed shia Imam Imam Hussain S.A was from Umayyads. and also other Shia Imams were killed by Umayyads. shia believes Abusufyan (founder of Umayyad governments) was who made biggest harm to Islam and in the name of Islam destroyed Islam in fact and made a fake version of Islam that continues today. shia consider Umayyads enemies of Islam but in the name of Islam. according to shia at Badr war many of relatives of Abu sufyan (Umayyads) were killed by prophet and Ali S.A. and this made a great envy of prophet and Ahl ul Bayt in heart of Umayyads and they killed and destroyed real Muslims and real Islam as much as they could in response.

Imam
In Shia Islam, the holy book is the Quran, which is also the sacred text for all Muslims. However, Shia Muslims place significant emphasis on the teachings and interpretations of their Imams, who are considered to be divinely appointed leaders. Additionally, Shia traditions include other texts, such as the Nahj al-Balagha, a collection of sermons and writings attributed to Imam Ali, the first Shia Imam.
Shia Muslims believe in Iammat as one of five pillars of Islam. Imamat means only God has the right to choose the Caliph (Imam).
There is no direct mention of Imam Mahdi in the Hindu book Veda. The concept of an awaited savior figure like Imam Mahdi is more common in Islamic beliefs, particularly in Shia Islam.
shia Muslims
An Imam.
In Islamic theology, particularly within Shia Islam, the Imam is regarded as a divinely appointed leader with spiritual and temporal authority. However, the ultimate authority is believed to lie with Allah, the Creator. In Sunni Islam, leadership is not centralized in an Imam but rather in the community, with scholars and leaders (like caliphs) serving as guides. Thus, while the Imam holds a significant position, he is ultimately subordinate to Allah.
