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'.

Which statements correctly describe the Aryan migration and its results?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

<u>A. The Aryans brought a new language, Sanskrit, to the people they conquered in the Indus</u>

<u>C. As the Aryans moved east and settled in the plains near the Ganges, they began to worship local gods in addition to their own gods. </u>

<u>D. The Aryans developed a system of social classes in the new region.</u>

Explanation:

The Aryans are mostly identified as 'Central Asian' people who migrated to modern-day North Pakistan and India thousands of years ago. With them, they brought a new language, a culture of careful social classes and even beliefs that to this day, define India and the Hindu religion in particular.

Most North Indians called themselves Aryan, while the modern name of Persia is Iran, which means the land of Aryans. Adolf Hitler even identified Germanic people as Aryans.

What were some of the reasons why the articles of confederation did not work
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The Articles of Confederation failed because they did not give Congress and the national government enough power. The new United States just fought a war to end what they considered tyrannical rule of a strong government that overpowered local government and the leaders of the U.S. feared a powerful central government.
