Answer:

Sunnis and Shias essential variations is who they recognize in the line of succession for the prophet Muhammed.

Sunnis hint the succession to Abu Bakr, an advisor to Muhammed, whilst Shias hint the succession to Ali, a relative of Muhammed. They trace the leadership through the Caliphs, ending with the Ottoman Empire.

Shias understand the descendants of Muhammed as their religious leaders and call them Imams.

Answer:

The primary difference in practice comes in that Sunni Muslims mainly rely on the Sunnah, a record of the teachings and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad to guide their actions while the Shiites more heavily on their ayatollahs, whom they see as a sign of God on earth.
