About this listen

Sunni and Shia Islam are the two main branches of Islam, with the majority of Muslims being Sunni. The divide between the two dates back to early Islam and is based on a disagreement over who should have succeeded the Prophet Muhammad. Sunni Muslims believe that the Prophet's companions were the rightful leaders, while Shia Muslims believe that leadership should have passed through the Prophet's descendants.
