Muslims primarily belong to two main branches of Islam: Sunni and Shia. Sunnis make up the majority, comprising about 85-90% of the global Muslim population, while Shia Muslims represent around 10-15%. The division arose from a historical disagreement over the rightful succession of leadership after the Prophet Muhammad's death. Each branch has its own beliefs, practices, and interpretations of Islamic teachings.
