That would depend on the god I'd say and what people think that god says.
Yeah, and whilst a very intellectually competent and kind hearted person would understand and appreciate God's selfless creation and act accordingly independently, "there's one upright man among a thousand" (Ecclesiastes 7:28), so I recommend reading the Qur'an for guidance. From the Bible, I recommend the Sermon of the Mount to understand Jesus' message and conception of God and, ofc, Solomon's Ecclesiastes for the brave existentialists out there who don't always think in black and white, all or nothing ways. Most people should innately know right from wrong though, but the waters get muddy in the presence of propaganda and ideological corruption, and you can turn any sheep into a wolf to their fellow man.
Which one is correct, the shiite doctrine or the sunni doctrine?
Neither, have the Qur'an as your axiomatic base (and find wisdom in Scripture if you're curious) and use discernment for everything that wasn't specified. I'm against sectarianism, especially when God already said "believers are brothers" (49:10) and even included the Jews and Christians in the group despite our ideological differences...
