Shi'ah literally means follower or supporter, while this term refers to the followers of Ali ibn Abi Talib, who believed Ali to be the chosen caliph of the Prophet Muhammad and the most important companion. After the events of the Battle of Jamal and Shiffin, the Shi'ah split into four groups. First, moderate Shiites who follow Ali without condemning the companions and still glorify them. Second, Tafdhiliyah, who believed that Ali was superior to other companions, represented the Shi'ah today.

Fourth, Ghulat, a group of extreme heretics, believe that God has entered into the Prophet Jesus.]]>
