 | | Shias believe that during the occultation of the Twelfth Imam, he is spiritually present--some believe that he is materially present as well--and he is besought to reappear in various invocations and prayers. | | | The five Shia principles of religion (Usul ad Din) are: belief in divide unity (Tawhid); prophecy (Nubuwwah); resurrection (Maad); divine justice (Mdl); and the belief in the Imams as successors of the Prophet (Imamah). | | | The Sunni-Shia division of Islam originated as a succession dispute shortly after the death of the prophet Muhammad in 632 A.D. Shia believe that the proper successor of Muhammad was Ali. |

| | Shia Muslims believe that Ali, the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad, was the first of the twelve imams appointed by God to succeed Muhammad as leader of the Muslim community. | | | Bahá'í Faith: This religion accepts the Twelver Shia succession as correct, though they also believe that the twelfth imam is the Báb. | | | The variants of Shia Islam differ regarding the rights of succession after the death of Muhammad, but they agree that the imams were usurped from their rightful position. |

| | Nevertheless, at the cornerstone of Shi’a history is the figure of 'Ali and his persecution by the illegitimate caliphs. | | | The foundational figure in Shi’a history is 'Ali, the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad. | | | Shi’a Islam divided into several different sects, the most important of which was the Qat'iyya ("those who are certain"). |

| | "Shias are kafir (infidels)," he said, and he went on to tell how, during one of the Muharram sermons, a Shia speaker had said some nasty things about some of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad. | | | Sunni Brelvis, rivals of the Deobandis, are rooted in the mystic traditions of the land. | | | Either preaching the version of Islam they were versed in or fighting the "infidels" (even if those infidels are Muslims of another type) is the only vocation they know. |

| | About The Ismaili Imamat and Origins of Shiism |
| | A major world religion, Islam today counts a quarter of the globe's population among its adherents, bound to their faith by the affirmation of the witness that there is no divinity except God, and Muhammad is His messenger. | | | The Shia, therefore, attest that after the Prophet, the authority for the guidance of the community was vested in Ali. | | | The Shia or "party" of Ali, already in existence during the lifetime of the Prophet, maintained that while the revelation ceased at the Prophet's death, the need for spiritual and moral guidance of the community, through an ongoing interpretation of the Islamic message, continued. |

| | Revert to Islam |
| | No Shia Muslim believes Imam Ali (AS) is a god or that Jibril (AS)should have taken the revelation of Allah (SWT). | | | That is equal to saying that Islam is a RASCIST religion as much as Christianity, Judaism, or Hinduism. | | | The difference in Shia Islam is that we follow the 12 Imams after Mohammad (AS). |

| | Shia News Articles: Islam Imamate the perfection of Deen |
| | During his lifetime Islam was recognised through the Prophet (saaws) after him Islam is recognised through his Imam, this is clear from the fact that the Prophet (saaws) told his followers ‘He who dies without giving bayah his Imam of the time dies the death of one belonging to the days of jahiliyya’. | | | This verse makes it clear Allah (swt) did not declare the perfection of religion, the completion of his bounties and his satisfaction until Hadhrath Ali (as)’s Imamate was formally declared at the end of the Prophetic mission. | | | After the Prophet (saaws) we argue that Allah (swt) continued to provide the Ummah with perfect examples, if we deny this then Allah (swt) is not just having bestowed an example to the Sahaba and ignored all generations that followed. |

| | Practically all branches of Shi'i Islam agree that the 4 first imams, Ali, Hassan, Husayn, and Ali Zayn l'Abidin were correct leaders of Islam. | | | The seeds of schism were planted upon the deathbed of the Prophet Muhammad, when, according to Shi'i tradition, he indicated that Ali was to be successor as the leader of Islam. | | | A significant feature of Twelver Shi'i belief is their expectation of the return of the last Imam, called the Mahdi, to lead the faithful in establishing the Shi'i belief on Islam in preparation for the Judgement Day. |
