Sunni Islam

**Sunni Islam** is the lairgest branch o Islam;. Sunni Muslims are referred tae in Arabic as *ʾAhl ūs-Sunnah wa āl-Ǧamāʿah* (, "Fowk o the tradition o Muhammad an the community") or *ʾAhl ūs-Sunnah* () for short; in Inglis, thay are kent as **Sunni Muslims**, **Sunnis** or **Sunnites**.

Sunni Islam is whiles referred tae as the orthodox version o the releegion. The wird "Sunni" comes frae the term *[[Sunnah]]* (), which refers tae the sayins an actions o Muhammad that are recordit in hadiths (collections o narrations regardin Muhammad). Sunni Muslims generally consider *[[Sahih al-Bukhari]]* an *[[Sahih Muslim]]* tae be entirely authentic an accurat hadiths.

## Etymology
****** (Clessical Arabic:  ) is a broad term derived frae **' (<big></big> , pl. <big></big> **' ), means "habit" or "uisual practice". The Muslim uisage o this term refers tae the sayins an livin habits o Muhammad. In its full form, this branch o Islam is referred tae as "Ahlu s-Sunnah Wa Al-Jama'ah" (literally, "Fowk o the Tradition an the Congregation"). Onyane claimin tae follae the Sunnah who can demonstrate that thay hae nae action or belief against the Prophetic Sunnah can consider thairsel tae be a Sunni Muslim. Housomeivver, it shoud be notit that Shi'a Muslims an aw hauld that thay follae the Sunnah.

Shia Islam

**Shia Islam** (, *Shīʿah*) is the seicont lairgest denomination o Islam, efter Sunni Islam. The follaers o Shia Islam are cried **Shi'ites** or **Shias**. "Shia" is the short form o the historic phrase *Shīʻatu ʻAlī* (), meanin "follaers o Ali", "faction o Ali", or "pairty o Ali".

Like ither schuils o thocht in Islam, Shia Islam is based on the teachins o the Islamic holy beuk, the Quran an the message o the final prophet o Islam, Muhammad. In contrast tae ither schuils o thocht, Shias believe that anerlie the Almichty haes the richt tae chuise a representative tae safeguard Islam, Qurʻān an Shariah (based upon verses in the Quran which stipulate this accordin tae Shias). Shias believe that these Quranic verses mak it clear that anerlie Allah chuises a viceregent on Earth, therefore nae ane else haes a choice in the matter. This means that God's representatives like Prophets an Imāms canna be electit bi common Muslims, which is why Shias disawn the election an selection o Abu Bakr, Umar an Uthman ibn Affan bi the fowk, to represent Islam an the Qurʻān. Thus Shias dae no consider Ali tae be the fowert Caliph, rather the first "Imam". Shias believe that there are numerous narrations whaur the prophet selectit Ali as his successor.
