Answer 1

Ans :- Who should have leadership ✔

Answer 2

Back in the 7th century when Prophet Mohammad died followers of Muslims split on a question as who would be the successor and lead the Islamic State created over the Arab Peninsula.

One group believed that the leadership should be given to AbuBakr who was a companion and father in law of the late Prophet.

Hence he was appointed to lead the Islamic State as first Caliph.
