Sunni vs Shiite

Those who follow the Sunnah (SAAWS) are those who follow his companions. If Ali(RA) had a problem with the successors, then he would have said so. He never did and followed them as Caliph. Who gives anyone the right to say what the rightly guided predecessors should have done? The Prophet(SAAWS) said that there would be three generations after him that would be on right guide. He also warned about the quwarage and bidah. Every innovation is a bidah and every bidah leads to the hell fire. Just follow the Sunnah of the Messenger (SAAWS); what he said, what he did and what he allowed. And remember; Allah(aza-wajallah) never, ever makes mistakes. As-salaam alaikum, wa-rahmatuulah, wa-barakatahu.

The Sunni Shia division started after the Death of the Prophet (PBUHH) on who would be the successor. Shias said that the prophit said who his 12 successors are. Sunnis say that he didnt so through "Shura" the succossor should be choosen. There are differences between the two groups in but not in the main thing like God is one, there is a judgment day etc

The split between Sunnis and Shias started as a political issue, then developed into a religious one over time. The issue was over who succeeds to the leadership level after the Prophet pbuh. He himself did not nominate a successor so after his passing away his close followers got together and made what is known as "mutual consultation", in Arabic "Shura". This is something that was specifically instituted by the Quran itself, that when the believers wanted to reach a decision on a matter they should settle the issue by "Shura". In fact there is a chapter known as "Shura" in the Quran. Now this "Shura" decided that the Prophet's best friend and father in law Abu Bakr be nominated as his successor (in Arabic 'Khalifa' or Caliph). After the death of Abu Bakr, Umar was chosen, then Uthman and finally Ali. A group of people had the idea that only the family of the Prophet pbuh had the right to the mantle of Caliphate and they broke away from the main group saying Ali should have been nominated from the beginning because he was a close blood relation of the Prophet pbuh being his first cousin and also his son in law. Now this break away group formed their own political party. The word for party or group in Arabic is Shia. The group was hence known as Shiat Ali or Party of Ali. Over time their political ideology evolved into a religious one and I suppose this was inevitable considering the fact that in the Islamic world political clout was always garnered through religion as religious fervor was high among the masses in those times.
