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.

Hope this helps

Which of the following was a pull factor that caused the Dutch to explore the Indies?
yawa3891 [41]

The correct answer is - the desire to profit from the trade of pepper and other spices found in the Indies.

The Dutch, as all the other European colonial countries, were trying to colonize territories that were going to bring big profit to the country. This was the case with the Indies. The Indies were a fertile soil for the production of pepper and other spices, which in Europe were a big deal and the demand for the exotic spices was very big, the prices also very high, so big profit was a guarantee. This made the Dutch to go explore and use the Indies as a place that was going to bring them a big financial benefit.

3. How did the ancient Romans leave a legal legacy for future governments?
maria [59]

Answer: C. by recording laws and legal decisions

Explanation:

The Romans left a lasting legacy by inventing and modifying technology and ways of life that were and are still used in the present era especially in the area of Law. Concepts such as civil rights, contract, legal wills and even trial by jury have Roman foundations to them.

The world was able to hear about this because the Romans recorded some of their laws and legal decisions such as in the <em>Twelve Tables</em> and the <em>Corpus Iuris Civilis</em>.

Of particular relevance is the <em>Corpus Iuris Civilis</em> which was compiled under Emperor Justinian. It was a collection of Roman law that was then codified and passed around the Byzantine empire.

Was the Treaty of Versailles a just and fair peace treaty or an unjust and unfair one, and why?
rewona [7]

Answer:

This depends on your view point. Apparently the Allies believed that the treaty was fair and just, but Germany did not. Personally, I think that the Treaty of Versailles was too extreme. Of course Germany had to be punished for war crimes and preventative measures had to be put in place so Germany couldn't try that again, but at the same time, if the treaty was less harsh it wouldn't have angered Germans to the point of electing the Nazi party. The German economy was already crashing and the decisions that were made in the treaty only worsened the entire establishment.
