About the Book

Two paths. One faith. One story misunderstood for centuries. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) passed away in 632 CE, his followers faced a question that would shape the Muslim world forever: Who should lead the community after him - and how should that leader be chosen? From this moment came the two great traditions of Islam: the Sunni and the Shia. But this was never a story of two religions. It was the story of one family - united in devotion, divided in approach. The Sunni-Shia Divide Explained is a clear and compassionate guide to understanding Islam's two main traditions - exploring how history, love, and memory shaped them both. Written with balance and clarity, it traces how early leadership debates became theological differences and distinct identities across centuries. Inside, you'll discover: The shared foundation of Islam - one God, one Prophet, one Qur'an, and the Five Pillars. The historical roots of the divide - from the Prophet's final days to the meeting at Saqifah. The tragedy of Karbalā - how grief and justice became the heart of Shia devotion. Beliefs and practices today - from leadership and law to prayer and remembrance. What still unites Muslims everywhere - mercy, faith, and the longing for Allah. Written in clear, graceful language, this book explains how history, faith, and memory shaped Islam's two great branches - and how, despite their differences, both paths continue to reflect the same Divine Light. "This was never a story of two faiths. It was a story of one family learning to live with difference." Perfect for Muslims seeking deeper understanding, non-Muslims exploring Islam, and anyone yearning to see beyond headlines and labels - The Sunni-Shia Divide Explained invites readers into the heart of a faith more unified than it appears.
