Answer and Explanation:
The Shiites were a branch of Islam who followed the path of Islam but disagreed with the Sunnis (the other branch of Islam) about a certain topic.
The Shiites thought that the descendants (or heirs) of the fourth caliph, Ali, cousin and son-in-law of prophet Muhammad, could lawfully rule in the Islamic World, and no one else but them.
