12 The Islamic Sects

13 Sunni Arabic for "one who follows the traditions of the Prophet" Believed that Muhammad's true successor was his father-in-law, Abu Kakr They recognize the six sound books of Hadith They numbered about 900 million in the early 21st century i It`s the largest branch of Islam 13

14 Shia Arabic for "a group or supportive party of people" Believed that true successor was his cousin and his son-in-law Second largest branch of Islam They do not recognize the authority of elected Muslim leaders They instead follow a line of Imams which they believe have been appointed by the Prophet Muhammad 14

15 Islamic religion in the 21 st century Countries such as Iran have adopted an Islamic democracy They vote for their leaders Only follows the old Quran It is followed by more than 1 billion people today and the fastest growing religion and soon the largest. Only follows the old bible, no one will follow the modified ones. 15

16 It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for Primary Source your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

17 The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, Primary Source His books, and His apostles. We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His apostles. And they say: We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and the Scripture which He hath sent to His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messenger., and the Day of Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.
