Introduction :
there no such likeness with cristian belief distribution of Catholics & protestient , you will understand this after reading the whole.
Sunni and Shī‘ah are the two major denominations of Islam. The demographic breakdown between the two groups is difficult to assess but clear from the books and thoughts, a good approximation is that 85% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, and 15% are Shī‘ī, with most Shī‘īs belonging to the Twelver tradition and the rest divided between several other groups. (Wiki)
The division between Shia and Sunni dates back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad, and the question of who was to take over the leadership of the Muslim nation. Sunni Muslims agree with the position taken by majority of the Prophet's companions, that the new leader should be elected from among those capable of the job and prophet had selected them to rule in their life at many event. This is what was done, and the Prophet Muhammad's close friend and advisor, Abu Bakr, became the first Caliph of the Islamic nation. The word "Sunni" in Arabic comes from a word meaning "one who follows the traditions of the Prophet."
On the other hand, some deviated People asked for caliph should be cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Hazrat Ali r.a (who become the 4th caliph after ward). This was their self desire, no close Friend of caliph even Ali had not accept their this idea, as Ali themselves want Abu Bakar to be caliph because of their experience and closeness with Prophet.
the People who deviated they make the organization with name "shiaan e ali". The term Shia or Shi'ite derives from a shortening of Shiat Ali or partisans of Ali.they were joined afterward some Munafiq (the people who are showing themselves muslim but are not muslim) they came mostly from Iran they kill second caliph umer, third caliph uthman and also then ALi, their son Hussain at Karbala etc. Their Belief are so devaited that Ali R.a Punished many of them.
Why shia are not Muslim:
The Shia shahadah (declaration of faith) states:
"There is no god but Alláh, Muhammad is the Messenger of Alláh, Alí is the Friend of Alláh. The Successor of the Messenger of Alláh And his first Caliph."
If you are already familiar with standard muslims beliefs, you will immediately notice the addition to the shahadah regarding Imam Ali (ra), cousin of the Prophet (pbuh), So They dont accept The shahadah which was approved and teached by prophet.this First Basic point throw them out from islam. other are:
They do not follow what Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) taught But Self created Imam who has their own shairah.
they commit alot of Bidah (Innovation in Islam) that not match with Prophet teaching.
They do not follow hadith and Sunnah.
Shias think that Quran is incomplete (they say 10 parts are missing) whereas Allah said in Quran that he will protect Quran himself.
They mourn and beat themselves on 1st Muharram in the name of Ali,Hasan,Hussain whereas Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) because they we cant seek forgiveness from Allah throught this beating.
and many more things they do as a part of their Islam which Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) never taught us to do.
On a practical daily level, Shias have a different call to prayer, they perform wudu and salat differently including placing the forehead onto a piece of hardened clay from Karbala, not directly onto the prayer mat when prostrating. They also tend to combine prayers, sometimes worshipping three times per day instead of five. The Shias also have some different ahadith and prefer those narrated by Ali and Fatima to those related by other companions of the Prophet (pbuh). Because of her opposition to Ali, those narrated by Aisha count among the least favored. Shia Islam also permits muttah - fixed-term temporary marriage - which is now banned by the Sunnis. Muttah was originally permitted at the time of the Prophet (pbuh) and is now being promoted in Iran by an unlikely alliance of conservative clerics and feminists, the latter group seeking to downplay the obsession with female virginity which is prevalent in both forms of Islam, pointing out that only one of the Prophet's thirteen wives was a virgin when he married them.
A big Glance on shia Belief
why they are not muslims, evidance from their books
why shia are non muslims .
Now this is the root cause of all the problems,
Sunni's claim shias are not muslims , so does the shias , so they fight each other because of this reason.
How peaceful is that Islam then ?
