Shi\u2019a Islam is one of the main schools within the Muslim world. The term \u201cShia\u201d comes from Shi\u02bfatu Ali<\/em> \u2014 the party of Ali<\/em> \u2014 reflecting our belief that Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS), the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet \ufdfa, was designated by Allah to be the rightful successor.

Here are the core beliefs<\/strong> in simple terms:<\/p>

1. Tawhid \u2014 Oneness of God<\/strong><\/h3>

Like all Muslims, we believe in one God who is unique, without partner, and the source of all existence.<\/p>

2. Divine Justice (Adalah)<\/strong><\/h3>

Shia Islam emphasizes that Allah is just and fair \u2014 and humans are accountable for their choices. Mizan Institute<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>

3. Prophethood (Nubuwwah)<\/strong><\/h3>

We believe in all Prophets from Adam to Muhammad \ufdfa, who delivered Allah\u2019s final message to humanity.<\/p>

4. Leadership (Imamah)<\/strong><\/h3>

After the Prophet \ufdfa, Allah appointed divinely guided leaders \u2014 the Imams \u2014 to guide the community. This is a defining belief in Shi\u2019a theology. Islamic Info Center<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>

5. Day of Judgment (Ma\u2019ad)<\/strong><\/h3>

All humans will be resurrected and judged according to their deeds.<\/p>
