Answer 1

The correct statement is, “After Muhammad's death, the political organization of the theocracy split into the Shia and the Sunnis over who would be the next caliph.”

However, the last point is also correct since Ali was the peaceful leader with spiritual and religious quality that made him an ideal choice.
