Answer:

Sunni Islam, Shia Islam and Khariji Islam. The original split between Sunnis and Shiites occurred soon after the death of the Prophet Muhammad.

Shia Islam originated as a response to questions of Islamic religious leadership which became manifest as early as the death of Muhammad in 632 CE.

Their identity emerged as followers of Muhammad attempted to determine the extent to which one could deviate from ideal norms of behavior and still be called Muslim.

By the the way on i am muslim.
