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 event did Roosevelt refer to as "a day that will live in infamy"?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Pearl Harbor

Explanation:

The President's description of December 7, 1941 as "a date which will live in infamy" was borne out; the date very quickly became shorthand for the Pearl Harbor attack in much the same way that November 22, 1963 and September 11, 2001 became inextricably associated with the assassination of John F.

How did dorothy handle the balance between her family life and work aspirations
FinnZ [79.3K]
Dorothy Vaughan had six children, so it was really hard to commit to them and science at the same time. But this reconciliation was, in her case, a philosophical matter of private and public interest. What she did as a scientist helped her children too, just like so many other children, and humanity in general. As a mother, she naturally missed her children and wanted to spend more time with them; but she had this other mission as well, which was even more important, in terms of humanity.

Of the various events that led to division between the colonists and Parliament which do you think was the most significant?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Personally, I would say the Seven Years War. It started the divide in the first place. The war itself costed Great Britain a great amount of money, and to make it up, they started taxing the colonists heavily. This first instance of taxation is what led to the divide, and the taxation started because of the war. Therefore, I believe that that is the most significant event.
