14 Crisis Muhammad dies in 632 Muslims now had to find a new leader Muhammad did not name a successor

15 Solution Muslims chose Abu- Bakr who was a loyal friend of Muhammad He became the first Caliph Caliph (kay-lif) means successor or deputy

16 Abu-Bakr After Muhammad died some Muslims Refused to pay taxes Tried to say they were prophets themselves Some tribes abandoned Islam In order to get things under control, Abu-Bakr used the military to get authority.

17 Muslim State By the time Abu died, the Muslim state controlled all of Arabia Under the next 2 caliphs they took: Syria Lower Egypt Parts of Persia By 750 they controlled from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indus River (2x the width of the USA!!)

18

19 Muslim Troops They were successful because they were Willing to struggle till the end for Islam Well disciplined Expertly commanded Enemies were not used to their style of warfare

20 Byzantine and Persia The Byzantine and Persia were already weak from long time conflicts The people welcomed Islam

21 Treatment of Conquered People Muslims were tolerant of conquered people The Quran forbids forceful conversion They let others keep their religion if they paid a poll tax People who did not convert were not allowed to spread their own religions

22 The Spread Of Islam 2 100% Islam Copyright Clara Kim All rights reserved.

23 Internal Conflict The 2 Caliphs after Abu Bakr were assassinated After their assassinations, the elective system of choosing caliphs ended

24 Umayyads A family that came to power in 661 They set up a hereditary system of getting new leaders. They moved the Muslim capital to Damascus

25

26 Umayyads Surrounded themselves with riches Some Muslims did not agree with the Umayyads and split.

27 The Split Muslims split into two groups:

28 SHI A Believe the leader should be a relative of Muhammad

29 SUNNI This group followed the Umayyad rule and followed Muhammad s example.

30 Sufi Another group who reacted against the rich life of the Umayyads They led a life of poverty and devotion to the spiritual life of Islam They meditated and chanted Focused on the Quran
