The belief shared by both Sunni and Shia Muslims is:
**That any righteous male Muslim can be chosen as caliph.**
Sunni Muslims believe that any qualified individual can be selected as caliph, while Shia Muslims have a more specific interpretation regarding leadership, believing that leaders should be from the family of Prophet Muhammad, but both groups acknowledge the potential for leadership outside direct family ties, particularly in terms of righteousness and competence. The other beliefs listed are more specific to either Sunni (such as the Sunnah being the most important text) or Shia (such as the belief in divinely inspired imams).
