2. Sunni.

1. Shiite.


This is one of the main differences between the two strands of Islam. For Shiites, religious authority is passed on in a hereditary way, and so can be traced all the way back to Muhamad himslef. Accordingly, the position of Imams in Shiite faith is very important and powerful. For Sunnis on the other hand, the figure of the imam is elected and acts as a spiritual and moral leader of his Mosque.
