More than 90 percent of Iran's Muslims follow the Twelver or Imamiyyah belief of Shia religion,the schism between the two sects dates from a disagreement over the successor to the founder of Islam, the prophet Muhammad, after his death. Shiites recognize the prophet's cousin and son-in-law, Ali, as his successor and thereafter the direct descendants of Ali. Sunnis, however believed that political leadership and respect within the community were the most important prerequisites for a successor and recognized the rulers known as caliphs who went on to form the Umayyad dynasty in Damascus.
