“God may be One, but Islam most definitely is not.”
- Reza Aslan, No god but God
It’s not the Western World versus the Muslim World. It’s the Muslim World vs. the Muslim World, an Islamic Reformation, and we’re caught in the crossfire.

Sunni and Shia: The Split
•Note: This is a very simplified version.
•After Muhammad’s death (632), there was a dispute over who should succeed him as the next caliph (leader of the Muslim community).
![Page 11: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sunni
• As the most qualified was Abu Bakr was selected by the Muslim community at Medina. These followers became the Sunni, the main or “orthodox” branch of Islam.
![Page 12: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Shia
• However, another group believed that Muhammad’s son-in-law, Ali (Muhammad’s cousin and husband of Muhammad’s daughter, Fatima), was the rightful successor. They became known as the Shiat Ali (“Party of Ali”), also know as the Shi’ites and Shia.
![Page 13: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sunni vs. Shia
• Ali became the fourth caliph, but he was murdered in 661 and his rival, Mu’awiya (Sunni), took over.
![Page 14: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“Before one embarks on a journey of revenge, he should dig two graves.”
- Confucious•Ali’s son’s Hassan and Hussein continued to oppose the Sunni caliphs. Of course, Hassan eventually was poisoned (669) and Hussein died in battle (680).
![Page 16: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• The deaths of Ali, Hassan, and Hussein reinforced the Shia sense of betrayal and inspired the Shia devotion to martyrdom.
• Shia became and remains the Islamic branch of the poor and oppressed waiting for deliverance.

Shi’ism, Shia, Shi’ites, Shiat Ali
• The Shias believe in divinely-appointed leaders (Imams) and await the return of the 12th Imam, Mohammed al-Mahdi, who disappeared in 878. Al-Mahdi’s return will reverse their fortunes and bring “a reign of divine justice.”
![Page 18: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sunnis
• The Sunnis reject leadership by Imams and follow the Sunna – the traditions of Muhammad composed in Hadith, the stories of the Prophet and his Companions. Basically, Hadith is what Muhammad said, did, agreed to, or condemned.
![Page 19: Development of the Muslim Empire](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/5681449a550346895db143e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Want to be more confused?
• imam is a Sunni term used for the founding scholars of the four Sunni madhabs or schools of theological law.
• Imam may also refer to the imams of the sciences related to Hadith.
• Or to the heads of the Prophet's descendants in their times. In other words, "imam Ali" is a phrase used by both Shia and Sunni Muslims with different connotations.
