Sunnism

the principal and orthodox sect of Islam. The adherents of Sunnism, known as Sunnites or Sunni Muslims, constitute the majority of Muslim believers, except in Iran, in southern Iraq, in the Yemen Arab Republic, and in Soviet Azerbaijan and Soviet Upland Tadzhikistan. In resolving the question of who is the imam or caliph (leader) of the Muslim community, Sunnism depends formally upon “the consent of the whole community,” in contrast to Shiism, which recognizes only Ali and his direct descendants as imams or caliphs. There are four religious and juridical doctrines (madhabib) in Sunnism. Mecca and Medina are the holy cities of the Sunnites.
