Muhammad did not name a successor. Also, Sunnis believed that the leader of Islam should come from the larger community.
85–90% of Muslims worldwide belong to the largest branch of Islam, known as Sunni Islam. Its name is derived from the Arabic term sunnah, which alludes to Muhammad's customs. The divisions between Sunni and Shia Muslims began with a dispute about Muhammad's successor and later expanded to include theological, legal, and political implications.
Sunni traditions hold that Muhammad did not leave a successor, and those present at the Saqifah ceremony designated Abu Bakr as the next in line. The Shia perspective, in contrast, asserts that Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin, was chosen as his successor.
