What are the differences between the Shi&#8217;is and Sunnis?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Allow me not to  comment here about the false and truth and simply illustrate the  difference between the Shia Muslims and the mainstream Muslims. The  mainstream Muslims consider the only divine source of Islam, existing  after the Prophet (sws) to be the Qur\u2019an and Sunnah. However according  to the Shia Muslims (the majority of them who are known as Imami Shia),  beside the Qur\u2019an there are twelve individuals from the generation of  the Prophet (sws) who came one after the other as the divinely appointed  Imams of the Ummah after the Prophet (sws). According to the Shia  Muslims these individuals are infallible and where needed can have  access to the hidden knowledge. Accordingly they believe that only the  guidance given by these Imams is the true guidance and any one who  follows other understandings of Islam is misguided or not fully guided.  They therefore consider the Khulafa of Muslims (from Abubakr to the last  one, except Ali \u2013 ra \u2013 who they consider to be the first of these  divinely guided Imams) to be transgressors of the right of these Imams.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>According  to the Shia Muslims, the last Imam is the promised Mahdi who was born  in the third century and then went to occultation a few years later to  remain safe till people are ready for his return. They believe that he  is miraculously still alive and will return before the end of the world.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-12<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6615\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the original dogmatic fault Shi&#8217;is?
