What issues divided Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims?

The Sunni's believe after Muhammad's death, he left his followers with his book Quran and the culture. They also had 3 ''khalifahs'' after Muhammad's death. The Shiites believe after Muhammad's death, he left his followers with his book Quran and another follower that gave guidance, Imam Ali.That was later on that the shiites formed the doctrine of Imamat. Hazrat Ali (RAU) expressed his pact of obedience (BA"AT) to the three Rightful Caliphs and acted as an active counsel/advisor to them. He was the Fourth Rightful Caliph. He never claimed that the first three were not Rightful Caliphs. He was not a coward to keep this in his heart and serve the first three rightful Caliphs.

What were the reasons for the decline of the Islamic civilization in North Africa after AD 950?

The Islamic Empire was expected to last at the peak of its power for at least half a millennium. It lasted for more than half a millennium from 1299 all the way to the end of World War I in 1918. Such a magnificent empire declined because of many reasons. Here are the main reasons. - Shia and Sunni Revolts against each other - People from different regions in the Islamic Empire were greedy and wanted to make separate countries of their own - The Western Countries such as Italy, Britain had exhausted the Empire with war and threats for eg. Italy threatened the Muslims of bombing the Holly Cities of Mecca and Medina - Some Muslims from certain regions thought about Westernizing so that they could become a better empire but of course this was not the answer. The best example for this were the Turkish people under Mustafa Kemal who westernized Turkey - There were so many different views on how to run the empire that the empire just broke apart If we Muslims were still united today we wouldn't have been humiliated today by these Westerners. They were a major reason for this break up of the Muslim Empire because they knew if we were united as one we would be the most powerful country on Earth.

Did the rightly guided caliphs expand their empire?

It depends on the Rightly-Guided Caliph in question.Abu Bakr and 'Ali (first and fourth caliphs) dealt with internal civil wars, so they were not primarily responsible for the expansion of the Islamic Caliphate. However, 'Omar and 'Othman (second and third caliphs) did fight numerous expansionary wars, throughout the Levant, Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt.
