The practice of this originates back to the Safavid Dynasty in Iran. The conqueror Isma'il I, who proclaimed Shi'ism as the state religion, was very anti-Sunni. Iran, a Sunni majority at the time, was forced to convert to Shi'ism by Ismail I. To do this, one thing he imposed was the practice of cursing the first three Khalifas, Abu Bakr, Othman, and Omar, as a way of strengthening Shi'ism in his empire. The Safavid Dynasty became the origin of modern Shi'ism, and the cause of its spread "by the sword," or by violence. Thus, many Shi'as today still partake in these practices, regardless of the fact the Khalifas were highly trusted companions of the Prophet Muhammad (S).

∙ 14y agoHistorically, some of the Muslims after Prophet Muhammad death were supporting that who follows the prophet should be of the prophet family. Accordingly, they were supporting that the Caliph after Prophet death should be Ali Ibn Abou Taleb (The prophet cousin and the husband of his daughter Fatima God be pleased with her and him). Those Muslims are called afterwards the Shiites. However, Ali (God pleased with him supported the elected first Caliph after the prophet (Abou Bakr), the elected second Caliph (Omar) and the elected third Caliph (Othman). He (Ali Ibn Abou Taleb) was the fourth elected Caliph. The rejection of those Muslims was only during the election process but never translated, after the election, into violence or protest or any kind of dissatisfaction.

Hazrat Ali (RAU). But the Shiaism sprang up much later. Hazrat Ali (RAU) remained faithful to the first three Rightful Caliphs. He was an active member of the advisory council (Shoora) of the Muslims during the reign of first three Rightful Caliphs. He was the fourth Rightful Caliph.
What is the difference between Suni and Shia?
Sunni and Shia are the two main branches of Islam. The main difference between them is their beliefs about the rightful succession of leadership after the Prophet Muhammad's death. Sunnis believe that leadership should follow the consensus of the community, while Shias believe it should be within the Prophet's family. This historical disagreement has led to differences in religious practices, interpretation of Islamic teachings, and laws within the two branches.
