Details

This section addresses the various denominations and sects of Islam and their place in Iran and the wider Muslim world. Islam divides into two major branches, Sunni and Shia, each with its own schools and sub-branches — from the four Sunni legal schools to Shia branches such as Twelver, Ismaili, and Zaydi, as well as currents like Sufism. In Iran, Twelver Shiism is the majority and official confession, though Sunni minorities and other orientations are also present.
