Answer:

Ali has that authority for the Shi' a

Explanation:

The division between Sunnis and Shi'as is the largest and oldest in the history of Islam.

Both Shi'as and Sunnis have good evidence to support their understanding of the succession. Sunnis argue that the Prophet chose Abu Bakr to lead the congregational prayers as he lay on his deathbed, thus suggesting that the Prophet was naming Abu Bakr as the next leader. The Shi'as' evidence is that Muhammad stood up in front of his Companions on the way back from his last Hajj, and proclaimed Ali the spiritual guide and master of all believers. Shi'a reports say he took Ali's hand and said that anyone who followed Muhammad should follow Ali.

Muslims who believe that Abu Bakr should have been the Prophet's successor have come to be known as Sunni Muslims. Those who believe Ali should have been the Prophet's successor are now known as Shi'a Muslims. It was only later that these terms came into use. Sunni means 'one who follows the Sunnah' (what the Prophet said, did, agreed to or condemned). Shi'a is a contraction of the phrase 'Shiat Ali', meaning 'partisans of Ali'.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Option B. is the right answer.

Explanation:

President Johnson was appointed as President after the murder of Lincoln who proposed 10 Decree plan to Refurbish southern states by uniting them into the Union of states but President Johnson’ plan proved to be too merciful parallel to Lincoln’s proposal of reconstruction.

Radical Republicans wanted enfranchisement of freed blacks in a swift process but President Johnson who supported the Elite aristocrats and planters made Radical republicans think that the Africans would be re-slaved by the planters.  

Four confederate generals occupied the seat in the legislature and supported the abolition of slavery. This enraged Congress which at last impeached President Johnson’s power.
