There are two main denominations in Muslims: Sunnis and Shias. The largest denomination in
Islam is Sunni Islam, which makes up 75%-90% of all Muslims. Sunnis are also called as Ahl
as-Sunnah what means ,,people of the tradition". These hadiths, recounting Muhammad's
words, actions, and personal characteristics, are preserved in traditions known as Al-kutub Al-
Sittah(Six major books). Sunnis belive that the first four caliphs were rightful successors to
Muhhamad. Also, Sunnis think that anyone who is righteous and just could be a caliph but
they have to act like Koran and the Hadith says, the example of Muhhamad and give the
people their rights.
The Sunnis follow the Koran and then the Hadith. If legal matters are not found in the Koran
or the Hadith, they usually follow madh'habs(schools of thought): Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki
