Question

Imagine you are a follower of Mohammad in 632 AD. That June, he passed away without a clear leader to fill his spot. Write a 1 paragraph letter to the Islamic community explaining who should become the new Islamic leader. Use your answers in parts 1 and 2 to help you.

Answer 1

A follower of Muhammad in 632 AD supports Abu Bakr as the rightful first Caliph and successor due to his wisdom, experience, and close association with the Prophet.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a devoted follower of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, it is with a heavy heart that I address our community in the wake of his passing. I have reflected deeply on his teachings and the unity he forged amongst the Arab tribes under the banner of Islam. In light of our Prophet's demise, I am convinced that Abu Bakr, respected elder and among the earliest converts, is rightfully suited to be the first Caliph, a successor to continue our Prophet's work. Abu Bakr's wisdom and experience are invaluable, and his previous close association with the Prophet indubitably makes him the most qualified to lead us.

Answer 2

I would put this in the history category if I were you.
