More appropriately, Shi'a or Shi'i. The second largest sect of Islam, founded by followers of Ali, the fourth Sunni caliph (successor to Prophet Muhammad) who married the Prophet's daughter Fatima. About ten percent of the world's Muslims are Shi'a, and prefer to call themselves Ahl ul-Bayt (the 'People of the House', i.e. family of Muhammad). The largest Shi'a [denomination] believe in twelve imams, Ali being the first, and the last, al-Mahdi, is in hiding and expected to return to prepare for [the second coming of Jesus] Christ. The [differences] between Sunni and Shi'a Muslims have more to do with politics and culture than faith and religion.
