Question

_______ muslims believed that the Prophet Muhammad’s son-in-law, Ali, was
the legitimate leader of the Muslim community​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shias believe that Muhammad explicitly named Ali as his successor at Ghadir Khumm and Muslim leadership belonged to him which had been determined by divine order. The two groups also disagree on Ali's attitude towards Abu Bakr, and the two caliphs who succeeded him: Umar and Uthman Ibn Affan.
