The original cause of the split between Shia and Sunni Muslims within Islam was the disagreement over who should lead the faith.
Option: (D)
Explanation:
The major reason behind the division of Islam into two large sects was the difference of opinion regarding who was the true heir of Prophet Muhammad.
A small faction believed that Ali, who was the son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad, is the only eligible person to succeed Prophet Muhammad. This faction later came to be known as the Shia Muslims.
On the other hand, there was a large faction that believed that Prophet Muhammad's successor should be chosen from among his devoted followers. This faction came to be known as the Sunni Muslims.
