branche de l'islam
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.

Le chiisme (ou shî'isme) constitue l'un des deux principaux courants de l’islam, l'autre étant le sunnisme. Il regroupe environ 10 à 15 % des musulmans. La première communauté chiite vit en Iran, où elle constitue 90 % de la population du pays, et environ 40 % de la population chiite mondiale. Le reste des musulmans chiites se répartit principalement en Irak, en Azerbaïdjan, au Pakistan, en Inde, en Turquie, à Bahreïn, au Liban, au Yémen, en Syrie, en Afghanistan, etc.
