Warm welcome and greetings to knowledge of Islam. i am happy that u are eager to know more about Islamic topics.

yes there are a lot of differences in Shias and Sunnis.

the shias do almost everything like sunnis. at the time of Our Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.S.), they was no such thing like Shias and Sunnis. there were only the people who did the exact thing that he did. But then after he had passed away, long time after that there emerged a group called Shias. they started stating Hazrat Ali as the most superior. All muslims know that no one on this planet can take the place of our Last Prophet (S.A.W.S), because he has all the qualities of all the prophets starting from Adam (the first man on earth). he was not educated as all the prophets before him but he had the most knowledge of them. Every prophet before him had praised Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.S) and they knew that this personality had to come as the last Prophet. When Adam was created in Heaven, he saw this kalima (saying) LA ILAHA ILLALLAH, MUHAMMED UR RASOOL ALLAH on the entrance of ALLAH's kingdom. Hazrat Ali's body in not found anywhere because, when he was killed in the battle, he just leaned on his horse and the horse went somewhere. nobody knows which direction and where. this was indeed the master plan of Allah. if his body was found, the shias would have made his grave the place of worship. which is not accepted by Allah. the shias mix many things with Islam. some follow Muhammed (S.A.W.S) but some follow Hazrat Ali. we all love Hazrat Ali and Hassan and Hussain Hazrat Fatima. but the shias make these people the source of their acceptance of prayers. now here is the point which is hated by Allah. Allah says ''if u want something, ask me directly''. but dont involve anyone in between. some shias have Quran of 40 verses some have 30 . we sunnis follow 30 which was reveled to our Prophet (S.A.W.S). and hadith Bukhari, Muslim and tirmidhi. But shias have their own concept. and when the month of Moharram approaches they hurt their body. and do many rubbish things . at the day of Judgement each and every part of our body will speak and tell its history. we have no right to hurt ant part of our body as told by our Prophet (S.A.W.S)

i hope you got the thing that u needed.
