Answer:

Shi'a and Sunni

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a divide because many didn't agree on who their next representative and leader should be. the Shi'a remained loyal to the forth caliph, since they believed that the title should stay in Muhammad's family. The Sunni didn't agree and accepted the Umayyad and Abbasid rulers.
