These revelations are recorded in the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. There are two main branches in Islam: Sunni and Shi'a. A split occurred shortly after the death of Muhammad over the question of who was to lead the Muslims. The Shi'a believed that Muhammad pre-selected Imam Ali, his cousin and son-in-law.
