Sunni Islam is the main branch of this religion, consisting of approximately 85% of the world total of Muslim faithful. This current recognizes Abu Bakr, father-in-law of Muhammad, as the spiritual successor of the prophet. Its faithful have the Koran and Sunna as their sacred book, and it is the predominant religion in the entire Middle East with the exception of Iraq, Iran and Azerbaijan.
