shiah believed in five principles such as prophecy , divine unity , ressurrection , imamah or successors of the prophet and divine justice . THE shiites and sunnus are in common in the first three cases namely in believing in prophecy , divine unity , ressurrection. it is only in the imamah and divine justice that shia and sunni differ . in the question of the imamate , it is the insistence on the esoteric function of the imam that distinguishes the shiite perspective from the sunni .
