AI overview
Shia Islam is the second-largest branch of Islam, distinguished by its belief that the Prophet Muhammad explicitly chose his cousin and son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib as his rightful spiritual and political leader, rather than Abu Bakr whom other Muslims selected. Shia Muslims view this succession dispute as a fundamental matter of religious legitimacy, maintaining that Ali's divinely guided leadership was unjustly bypassed at a historical meeting called Saqifa.

El chiismo, islam chií o islam chiita (o chía, en árabe, شيعة, romanizado: šīʿa) constituye una de las principales ramas del islam junto al sunismo. Es el nombre tradicional por el que se conoce a la escuela de jurisprudencia islámica Ya'farita. El chiismo es profesado por alrededor de entre el 15 % y el 25 % de los 1900 millones de musulmanes existentes en el mundo. El principal líder a nivel mundial es en la actualidad Ali al-Sistani.
