Islam

Islam is a major religion, heavily concentrated in the Middle East and the Byzantine Empire, though it reaches throughout the world, being the official religion of the Mongols and Timurids, as well as being the largest religion in Africa. It was founded by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century A.D., and today, it's divided into three schools, Ashari'i, Ismali'i, and Lansari'i. It's de-facto leaders are the Sultan, in Al-Tonnisgard, the King of Crowns, and the Calipha.

Ashari'i
The Ashari'i School of Islam teaches that Muhammad's successors, known as the Rashidun, were first his father-in-law Abu Bakr, secondly the Prophet's close friend Umar, followed by the Prophet's son-in-law Osman, who was followed by the Prophet's cousin Ali. This succession has continued, and been passed down to Sultan Tony al-Adan ibn al-Tonnisgard, the current head of faith for Ashari'i Sunnis.

Ismali'i
The Ismali'i School of Islam teaches that Ali was Muhammad's true successor, as appointed by the prophet himself, and that Ali's bloodline passed down the supreme authority over the faith. In addition to numerous doctrinal and traditional differences, the Ismali'i Shia venerate the King of Crowns, Devyyn bin Landar ibn Fatimid, as the current head of faith.

Lansari'i
The Lansari'i School of Islam teaches that neither Ali nor Abu Bakr was Muhammad's successor - rather, it was his daughter, Fatimah, who carried on her father's legacy. Lansari'i Faithis venerate a drastically foreign version of the Quran, which values Carnal Exaltation and Hedonistic Urges as the only route to get closer to God, rather than the Ismali'i and Ashari'i who value temperance, chastity, and self-control among their adherents. The Lansari'i also have a vastly opposed social hierarchy, being largely Matriarchal. They bow to the Calipha, Kirah al-Lansa ibn Umayyad, as the head of faith.
