I was raised in a specific branch of Shia Islam. Around 10% of the Muslim population is Shia, and the other 90% is Sunni. The Shia branch my family was associated with only has one million members, 0.1 percent of the Muslim population. I&#8217;ve always felt that the labels create dividing lines in this spiritual structure where I always wished that it would unify. In my lifetime, my family has grown apart from this religious community for various reasons. My family now practices in its own way. As a result, I&#8217;ve had control over my own spirituality as an individual, as there are no &#8220;requirements&#8221; to stay in a specific community. My religious identity is one of both isolation and freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The black shapes represent the Sunni majority, and blue represents the Shia minority.
