"Sunni–Shia divide" as a book-category encompasses works that explore the historical, theological, social and political dimensions of the split between Sunni and Shia Islam — from its origins in the early succession disputes after the Prophet Muhammad to the development of distinct doctrines, legal schools, rituals, and communal identities (Twelver, Ismaili, Zaidi, and various Sunni madhhabs). It includes scholarly histories, comparative theology, sociological and anthropological studies of community life, biographies of key figures, and contemporary analyses of how the divide shapes state politics, regional conflicts, diaspora experiences, and sectarian violence or reconciliation efforts. The category spans academic monographs, journalism, memoir, and fiction that probe narratives, myths, power dynamics, and cultural expressions tied to sectarian identity, and often takes interdisciplinary approaches—history, religious studies, political science, and human rights—to illuminate causes, consequences, and potential pathways toward coexistence.
