Differences Between Sunni and Shia Muslims CJ 435 Both Sunni and Shia Muslims share the most fundamental Islamic beliefs and articles of faith. The differences between these two main sub-groups within Islam initially stemmed not from spiritual differences, but political ones. Over the centuries, however, these political differences have spawned a number of varying practices and positions which have come to carry a spiritual significance. Where does it begin? The division between Shia and Sunni dates back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad, and the question of who was to take over the leadership of the Muslim nation. Sunni Muslims agree with the position taken by many of the Prophet's companions, that the new leader should be elected from among those capable of the job.

The origins of Islam: The Arabian peninsula before Muhammad: The Arabs of 600 c.e. Lived exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula and on the desert fringes of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. Along their Euphrates, the Sasanids used nomadic Arab chieftains to protect their empire. The Byzantines did the same with Arabs on their Jordanian frontier Arab pastoralists to the south remained isolated and independent, didn?t draw attention. Throughout history more people living on the Arabian Peninsula have subsisted as farmers than as pastoral nomads. Farming villages support the comparatively dense population of Yemen, where abundant rainfall waters the highlands during the spring monsoon. Small inlets along the southern coast favored fishing and trading communities.
