Islam is a monotheistic religion that is based on the teachings of the prophet Muhammad. It is the second largest religion in the world and is divided into two main branches: Sunni and Shia. FAITH with Sunni and Shia branches is an important part of Islam, as it is the basis for the beliefs and practices of both branches. The term 'FAITH' is used to refer to the belief in the one God, Allah, and the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad. Both Sunni and Shia Muslims share the same core beliefs, but differ in their interpretation of certain aspects of Islamic law.
