If a non-Muslim converts, how does he(she) chooses whether to be Shia or Sunni?
Are there any major differences between Shia and Sunni Islam?
Yes, there are significant differences between Shia and Sunni Islam. One of the main differences lies in their understanding of the rightful leaders of the Muslim community, with each group recognizing different individuals or groups. There are also differences in religious practices and customs, such as the mourning of the death of Imam Hussain by Shia Muslims and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr differently by the two groups.
