Qur'an is the final word of Allaah and will remain supreme in the eyes of all Muslims till the end of this world. There are no such diversities or differences as far as the view about the Qur'an is concerned. There are some deviated people who accuse the Shi'a community of having different Qur'an which is untrue and baseless.

Answer 1Technically speaking, Islam has no branch. There are different sects among the Muslims, as you find among the Jews and the Christians. The basic beliefs are the same, but there may be a slight difference in interpretation of rules.Answer 2Islam has several major sects. The two most important (representing 99% of all Muslims) are Sunni Islam and Shiite Islam.

How many different denominations and sects within the Shia sect?
There are only 3 sects of shia. but only 12 Imam shia exist mainly and other nearly extincted.The three sects are: Zaydis (Fivers), Ismailis (Seveners), and Twelvers.___________________________________________________________However, I don't tend to the naming of sects. You may call them different schools and teachings and not sects. All Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims believe in same God, read same Qur'an, pray facing same direction, practicing pilgrimage (or hajj) to same places, and fast same month of Ramadan. The differences between different Islam schools are minor differences that never related to main faith and beliefs. It is not like the different Christian denominations and sects. Shiite Muslims could be led in praying by a Sunnis Muslim and vice versa. They can pray in the masjid (or mosque) irrelevant to being related to Sunni or Shiites Muslims. All Muslims belong to one Islamic world. Nation of Islam is the only exception as it was originated in USA and abandoned basic true Islam beliefs and teachings.Be careful that the Westerners are trying to widen the gap between Shiites and Sunni Muslims and to create conflicts among them only to allow themselves to have control on the resources of both of them.
