A History of the Arab Peoples
Albert Hourani
Book ID: 7 Page: 158
Section: 5A
Who had the right to interpret the message conveyed in the Qur’an and the life of Muhammad? For the Shi‘is, and the various groups which sprang from them, authority lay with a line of imams, infallible interpreters of the truth contained in the Qur’an. From early Islamic times, however, a majority of Muslims in the Arabic-speaking countries were Sunnis: that is to say, they rejected the idea of an infallible imam who could, in a sense prolong the revelation of God’s Will. For them, that Will had been revealed finally and completely in the Qur’an and the sunna of the Prophet, and those who had the capacity to interpret it, the ‘ulama, were keepers of the moral conscience of the community.Pastor John’s Note: Like Catholic /Protestant!!

Geographically, the Roman empire stretched, at its peak, three thousand miles from southern Scotland to southern Egypt; on the east, Roman frontiers lay in the sun-baked upper plains along the Euphrates River, and on the west stopped only by the Atlantic Ocean. This huge block was larger than the whole earth today, if measured in terms of ancient communications and transportation. . .
