"Believes only close relatives and friends of Muhammad should succeed him."

Clarification: More precisely, Shi’a hold that leadership should pass to Muhammad’s family (especially Ali and his descendants, the Imams). They do not worship idols or believe in multiple gods, and they generally do not accept the first three caliphs as Muhammad’s rightful successors.
