Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), an abbreviation of Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي, "followers of Ali"), is a branch of Islam which holds that the Islamic prophet Muhammad's proper successor as Caliph was his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib. Shia Islam primarily contrasts with Sunni Islam, whose adherents believe that Muhammad's father-in-law Abu Bakr was his proper successor.
Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shia Islam is the second-largest branch of Islam: in 2009, Shia Muslims constituted 10–13% of the world's Muslim population.Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam. In 2012 it was estimated that perhaps 85 percent of Shias were Twelvers.
Shia Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. The Shia also extend this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other divinely-ordained traits. Although there are myriad Shia subsects, modern Shia Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis, with Twelver Shia being the largest and most influential group among Shia.
Yasir Qadhi (also spelled Yasir Kazi) is an American Muslim scholar and writer of Pakistani descent, and Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib Institute, an Islamic educational institution. He has written books and has lectured on Islam and contemporary Muslim issues. A 2011 New York Times Magazine essay described Qadhi as "one of the most influential conservative clerics in American Islam". Qadhi is a Salafi.
Qadhi was born in Houston, Texas, to parents of Pakistani origin. When Qadhi was five, the family moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he graduated high school two years early as class valedictorian.
After a short stint at Dow Chemical, Qadhi in 1996 enrolled at the Islamic University of Medina in Medina, Saudi Arabia. There he earned a bachelor's degree in Arabic from the university's College of Hadith and Islamic Sciences and a master's degree in Islamic Theology from its College of Dawah. Qadhi returned to the United States in 2005 after nine years in Saudi Arabia.

Sunni references: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh&hf;) has said: "It is probable that I will be called soon, and I will respond. So I leave behind me two weighty (very worthy and important) things: the Book of Allah (the Qur'an), which is a string stretched from the heaven to the earth; and my progeny, my ahl al-bayt. Verily Allah, the Merciful, the Aware, has informed me that these two will never be separated from each other until they meet me at the Fountain of Abundance (the Hawdh of Kawthar, a spring in heaven). Therefore, be careful how you treat these two in my absence." Muslim, Book 031, Hadith Number 5920. This hadith has been narrated by more than twenty companions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh&hf;) and has also been narrated by over 185 narrators mentioned in Sahih Muslim, 2:238...

Roshan Muhammed Salih interviews Shaykh Yasir Qadhi, one of the most prominent Sunni Muslim preachers in the West. For the very first time Dr Qadhi gives detailed explanations about his previously harsh rhetoric towards Shias and explains why he has changed his position. He talks about the wider sectarian tension within the Muslim community and the role of politics in fomenting that tension. And he discusses what the future relationship between Shias and Sunnis should be.

The Center for Arab and Islamic Studies presents Dr. Tariq Al-Jamil, Associate Professor of Religion, Swarthmore College giving a talk on "On the Origins of Shi'ism" The presence of the Shi'i and Sunni communities is perhaps the oldest and most enduring historical, political and theological division in Islamic societies. The historical origins of the Shi'i community have been the subject of ongoing disagreement between scholars writing in English (and other European languages) and traditional Shi'i chroniclers and hagiographers. This lecture will address some of the theoretical and methodological approaches to the academic study of Shi'ism and posit alternative frameworks for understanding the history of both Shi'ism and Sunnism as these two epistemological "streams" developed as self-con...

Afraid of the sinful twilight, the bastard sons of
mediocrity are behead one by one. by our mace of dark
steel and black ice,melted withn the blood of past
tragedies,the ultimate massacre of the false ones(they)
are behead one by one...with no mercy, marching for
revenge, we the proudest, rise high the flames of
victory, always guided by the eyes of the serpent with
feathers,always procreating our liberation and destiny.
My castle made of skulls and bones, and painted with the
the endless of the defeated, afraid of the crimson
twilight the bastard sons of mediocrity
are behead one by one,(then we) rape the one who flies in
the skies(the cursed paradise) and destroy those who
dwell in the underground fire, our cult is turning
