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.

Why does the nazi party appeal to hitler
Katen [24]

Answer:

The Nazi party’s policies were deliberately vague so they might appeal to as many people as possible. People of both right and moderate-left wing politics joined because they agreed with at least one of their policies:

an aim to abolish the "unfair punishment" of the Treaty of Versailles was popular with many Germans

promises of better pensions and increased employment appealed to the common man and many traditional socialists

opposition to communism led many landowners and businessmen to support the Nazis – they were seen as the only credible right-wing alternative to the left-wing parties.

belief in the supremacy of the German race appealed to nationalists.
