Those who advocated that Hazrat Ali RAU should have been chosen the Caliph after the death of the holy Prophet (SAW) declared them 'Shiyan-i-Ali.' It is interesting to note that during the Rightful Caliphate of first three Caliphs, Hazrat Ali RAU had been their advisor and active member of Muslim society. The division in the Muslims affected the spread of Islam very badly. Thousands of Muslims were killed during civil wars fought between them. It also had a very negative effect on the Unity of Muslim Ummah. The clashes between the two major groups Sunnis and Shiyas have done great harm to the cause of Islam. The basic beliefs of the two are the same. Some extremists sometimes create disturbance, otherwise there is no serious enmity between the two. In many countries they are living peacefully together.

The Sunni and Shia scholars have joined hands and sat together to solve the problems amicably. They have decided to tolerate each other and to avoid highlighting such matters as create hatred and enmity. May Allah Karim bless us with tolerance of all riligions and all humans! A'meen.

Some Sunnis hate some Shiites and some Shiites hate some Sunnis, but the majority of the conflicts between them are not theological, but political, social, and economic. These labels work similarly to ethnic labels in the Balkans, ripping people and countries apart. It does not help that many Sunnis and Shiites purposely or unintentionally misconstrue the doctrines of the other in order to give Divine Legitimacy to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl for resources.

Did Sunnis split from Shiites over the battle of Karbala?

Answer 1Yes. However, there was no real split between Shiites and Sunnis. It is just some different views over some side issues that are not critical.Answer 2No. The split between Sunnis and Shiites occurred nearly 30 years earlier when Abu Bakr was elected by the Shoura Council to the position of Caliph against the will of Ali's supporters. Those supporters rejected the decision of the Shoura Council and became the Shiites. The Battle of Karbala crystallized this division since Ali had, by then, been assassinated, and his son Hussein (who was the next candidate supported by the Shiites) was butchered by the Caliph Yazid I without Sunnis rejecting Yazid's right to the Caliphate.
