The combination between religious and political aspects in the abbasid state’s concept of rulership is best reflected in which of the following?

Answer:

D. The Abbasid state was headed by a caliph who was theoretically the state's supreme religious and political leader.

Explanation:

Caliphs were interested in holding political and religious power within Abbasid state. They tried to run the government based on Islamic approach rather than secular approach.

Their orientation was towards the Islamic approach in the governing of the state and making of rules and regulations based upon Islamic beliefs. They managed to stick by the Islamic norms in the politics of the Abbasid politics.

These are the reasons for the combination between the religious and political aspects in the Abbasid state’s concept of rulership.  

- "the past is made of multitudinous items ranging from anything that can be collected, recollected or assessed to originate in the past. as such, the past is a gallimaufry of particulars that may not have been related in any way. however, the human mind seeks organization to understand concepts and other things. the human mind therefore seeks relationships in explaining and studying the past. history being a humanity, dictates that historians have to serve this human trait by bringing structure to details of the past. historians do this by creating interpretive frameworks that capture as many details as possible."
