How and why do Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims differ?

History
1 answer:
Kitty [74]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The main difference is their view on who Muhammad's successor should/should've been.

The people that believed that anyone with the right qualifications could take over insisted that Muhammad's father in law and friend, Abu Bakr, success him and became known as the Sunni.

The people who insisted that only someone blood related to Muhammad could take over, they wanted Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, Ali ibn Abi Talib, to take over; and they became known as the Shi'ite.

They both follow the foundational practices and beliefs (Fice Pillars) of Islam though there are differences in the way they do some things and their views on the world. For example: Shi'ite Muslims complete all five daily ritual prayers but squeeze them into three sessions instead of five. Shi'ite Muslims also believe in the 'ten obligatory acts' in addition to the Five Pillars.

Which of the following is the best example of populism
Over [174]

Answer: Populism from the Latin word "Populus," which in translation would mean the people.

Explanation:

Similar to the notion of democracy, populism implies a rule that is in the service of the people. It is the opposite of government, which includes in its interest group a small group of people whose interests are defended, which is the case with aristocracy and plutocracy. And if they are similar synonyms, democracy today implies positive connotations in public, while populism is taken in the context of the negative.

This is because the strategy of populism is based on using the sensibilities of society, their essential life issues for political purposes. For example, it is possible to take two groups, which are separated by different antagonisms. On the one hand, it is an ordinary people and on the other a corrupt elite who argue that politics should be an expression of the will of the people

LenKa [72]

12. D.
The principal purpose of a quality rating and improvement system is to improve the quality of the day cares that operate in the state and to establish defined program standards which should be adhere to by the day care operators. QIRS  finds ways of assessing, organizing and communicating the quality of early care in child care settings.
14. A.
In order to be assessed by the CDA for the infant- toddler category, a government approved  center based infant-toddler location has to be chosen. To be properly assessed, at least a group of at least three children, who are under the age of three years old must be present. The candidate been assessed will be scored based on his interaction with these children.
15. D
Maria invested $24,000 while her sister, Christiana invested $8,000 for a total of $32,000. The ratio of their investment is as follows:
Maria ratio = A * $32,000  = $24,000
where A is the ratio of maria investment,
A = $24,000/ $32,000 = 3/4
Therefore the ratio of Maria investment is 3/4
Christiana ratio = B* $32,000 = $ 8,000
B = $8,000/ 32,000 = 1/4.
To share a profit of $60,000 based on their investment ratio, 
Mary will have 3/4 * $60,000 = $45,000 while 
Christiana will have 1/4 * $60,000 = $15,000.
Therefore the correct option is D.
