SomeSunnis believe that failing to perform the daily prayer ritual makes someone a non-Muslim or a sinner. Unlike Shia Muslims, Sunnis don't combine prayers unless there is a good reason to e.g., if they are traveling. Muhammad al-Mahdi was meant to be the twelfth imam in Shia Islam, but he disappeared when he was six years old. Demographics. Theirbeliefs over who should have succeeded the Prophet Muhammad is the key theological difference between the two. Sunnis also have a less elaborate religious hierarchy than Shiites have, and

Whatdo the Sunnis and Shi'as say about the event of Ghadir, the hadith of the two weighty things and the inci- while the Sunnis believe Abu Bakr was the caliph. Keywords: Saqifa, Ghadir Khumm, Orientalism, Thaqalayn, Ahlul Bayt, Mawla, Musnad ibn Hanbal, Muwatta by Imam Malik and Sunan Tirmidhi will be used to relate to the events The12th imam, al-Mahdi, is an important figure in Twelver Shia, as it is believed he will come back to initiate the "end times" in that branch of Islam. But what we (Sunnis) don't do is accuse the Muawiyah of being a disbeliever like the Shi'a do. We believe that both Muawiyah and Ali had their ijtihad, and Ali's was correct. The Shi'a بِسْمِاللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ A Sunni Brother mentioned that the Caliphate of Abu Bakr is the Consensus of scholars (Ijma'). It is incumbent upon Muslims to accept the Ijma'. First I would like to point out that we also believe that Ijma'a is binding. But, my brother, how can Sunni scholars make Ijma'a on something that the Prophet and
Sunnisalso acknowledge him as the fourth Caliph. He holds a high position in almost all Sufi Muslim orders (Turuq); According to Twelver Shia doctrine, he is the current Imam and the promised Mahdi, a messianic figure who will return with the prophet Isa . He will reestablish the rightful governance of Islam and establish justice and peace

SunniMuslims regarding Ali (RA) respect and honor him but we don't give him or attribute to him a divine role in the religion of Islam like some Shia groups do. He is a companion of the Prophet (SAW) that was beloved by the Prophet (SAW) and helped him in his mission just like Abu Bakr (RA), Omar (RA), Uthman (RA), etc. 3.
