Major Divisions

Sunni: Four "schools of law" (Madh'hab)—Hanafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Shafi'i

Shi'a: Three branches—majority "Twelvers" (Jafari), who believe in a succession of twelve infallible, divinely ordained imams; "Seveners" (Ismaili); and "Fivers" (Zaidi)

Eschatology

Sunni: Majority believe that a figure known as the Mahdi ("guided one"), from Muhammad's family, will appear with Jesus before the final judgment.

Shi'a: Majority believe in a series of twelve imams serving as Muhammad's spiritual and political successors. The final one, Muhammad al-Mahdi (b. AD 869), is alive but hidden (in "occultation") since AD 874; at the proper time he will appear with Jesus.
