Shiism

shia

The basis of the Shiite faith is that Muḥammad designated 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib as his successor as the spiritual and political leader of Islam. As such, the Imamate is to follow 'Alī's line rather than the one established by 'Abū Bakr when he was chosen as Ḵalīfa at the meeting of Saqīfah by the companions of Muḥammad.
