• The Four Rightly Guided Caliphs


  Islam’s first 4 leaders : Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali
• Shi’as believe Ali was the rightful successor as he was blood to the prophet
• After Ali’s death Shias were lead by 12 imams, it’s believed that the 12th imam was kept alive by Allah to one day bring equality to all
