 Member of one of the two major branches of
Islam, the branch that consist of the majority of
that religions adherents. Sunni Muslims regard
their denomination as the mainstream and
traditionalist branch of Islam.
 The majority of the world's Muslims are Sunni,
between 85 and 90 per cent according to
most counts, and spread across Africa, the
Middle East and Asia. Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and
Bahrain have a Shia majority, though the latter
is ruled by the Sunni House of Khalifa. Jan 5,

Like other Muslims, Sunnis offer five daily
prayers, give zakāt (religious tax), fast in
the month of Ramadan, and perform
the hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, if they
are able to do so.
Sunnis attach great importance to the
salat al-jum'ah (Friday prayer).
which is offered in congregation at zuhr
time (after midday) on Fridays. The salāt
al-jum'ah is wājib (necessary) and must
be performed by all male adults except
those who are travelers or who have
some handicaps which apply to other
fard (obligatory) prayers. Women are
not bound to offer this prayer in
congregation, but they may join it if it
does not upset their household duties.
Sunnis also believe in the seven
articles of faith (imān): belief in the
Oneness of God, the angels, the
Sacred Scriptures, the messengers
of God, the Last Day, destiny
coming from God-whether good or
bad, and resurrection after death.
Sunnis believe that God has created the
universe and that He is its absolute
Controller and Regulator; that
everything in the universe has a
predetermined set course (al-qadar)
and nothing can happen without God's
willing it and knowing it; that God knows
the present, the past, and the future of
every creature and that the destiny of
every creature is already known to Him
(XXV, 2-XXXIII, 38);
that God has given free will to every
human being by the exercise of which he
can choose between right and wrong;
and that God will judge every human
being on the Day of Judgment on the
basis of his actions in this world.
 The Sunnis also believe that on the Day
of Judgment no one except the Prophet,
with God's permission, will be able to
intercede (shafa'ah) on behalf of
anyone else. In other words, no Imam, no
khalih, no walī Allāh (saint) will have any
power of intercession.
 Sunni Founded by Abu al-Hasan al-
Ash'ari (873–935). This theological school
of Aqeedah was embraced by
many Muslim scholars and developed in
parts of the Islamic world
throughout history; al-Ghazali wrote on
the creed discussing it and agreeing
upon some of its principles.
 Caliphwas first used for Abu Bakr, who
was elected head of
the Muslim community after the
Prophet Muhammad's death.
 Shiʿi,Arabic Shīʿī, also
called Shiʿite, collective Shiʿah
or Arabic Shīʿah, member of
the smaller of the two major
branches of Islam, the Shiʿah,
distinguished from the
majority Sunnis.
A Shiite is a Muslim who
follows specific religious
traditions. Shiites are the
second-largest branch
of Islam, after Sunnis.
A Shiite believes that Mohammed's
son-in-law, Ali, was his legitimate
successor as political and religious
leader and prophet.
 Shiites believe that only Allah, the
God of the Islam faith, can select
religious leaders, and that therefore,
all successors must be direct
descendants of Muhammad's family.
 They maintain that Ali,
Muhammad's cousin and son-in-
law, was the rightful heir to the
leadership of the Islam religion
after Muhammad's death.
