After Muhammad's death in 632 CE, tension arose over leadership succession in the Islamic community due to differing views on who should be the rightful ruler. Some, like the supporters of Abu Bakr, believed that leadership should come from among Muhammad's close companions, while others, particularly those loyal to Ali, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, argued that leadership should remain within his family. This division led to the formation of distinct factions, ultimately resulting in the Sunni-Shia split, which has continued to influence Islamic politics and society to this day. The lack of a clear system for succession contributed to this conflict and the subsequent power struggles within the early Islamic community.
