Question

How were Muslim women treated in Ancient Islamic societies? Give examples please.

What is the difference between Sunnis and Shias? Is is that Sunnis believed anyone should have succeeded Muhammad after his death as the leader of Islam so long as they were qualified and Shias believed that his successor as leader of Islam should have been one of his male relatives?

I know the Justinian Code was a collection of laws enacted by Ancient Rome ordered by Justinian. Did Justinian mandate that the Justinian code be binding on the population?

Answer 1

I can answer the question about Justinian.  Before the time of Justinian, the Roman empire had already split into a western empire with its capitol in Rome, and an eastern empire with its capitol in Byzantium.  Justinian ruled in Byzantium during the 6th century AD.  The code of Justinian was a collection of laws enacted by ancient Byzantium, not by Rome.  Rome had already fallen after many invasions, while the eastern empire endured about another 1000 years. And yes, Justinian did make the code binding on the population.

Answer 2

I can talk about it for hours but hard to explain in a few words.
