Prophet Muhammad wanted to secure the spread of Islam after his untimely death. For those that follow the Shia theology, the Prophet declared Hazrat Ali as his successor. The majority Sunnis, however, dis not believe in this and only believed in the Sunnite of Muhammad. This means there were no successors but only Caliphs or heads of states that helped spread the faith globally.
