Islamic factions

Islamic factions are diverse groups within the Muslim community that interpret and practice Islam differently. Main factions include Sunni Muslims, who comprise about 85-90% of Muslims worldwide, and Shia Muslims, who make up around 10-15%. Sunnis follow a leadership system based on consensus, while Shia emphasize leadership through descendants of Prophet Muhammad. Other groups, like Sufis, focus on spiritual practices and mysticism. These differences can influence religious practices, political views, and regional alliances, but all share core beliefs in the Quran and Muhammad as God's prophet. The factions reflect historical, cultural, and theological diversity within Islam.
