Islam After Muhammad Division within the religion
18
Islam After Muhammad The word 'Caliph' is the English form of the Arabic word 'Khalifa,‘… 'Caliph' means Successor to the Messenger of God The Caliph is the governmental and religious leader of Islam. The government was called the caliphate. Who should succeed Prophet Muhammad?
19
Divisions of Islam Who should succeed Prophet Muhammad? Sunnis believed that the leader (caliph) should be chosen from the Islamic community. Shias believed that only Mohammed’s descendents could be caliphs. Shi’ites —‘partisans of ‘Ali —maintain that ‘Ali should have been appointed Caliph after Muhammad. They do not recognize any of the Caliphs except for ‘Ali, the 4th Caliph. Shi’ites followed a series of Imams who appointed successors. There were 12 of these altogether.

Sunni & Shi’ite (Shia) Split Dispute as to the rightful successor Civil War Umayyad (Sunni Muslim) -military prowess brought combative followers under their control Umayyad Caliphate Sunni Majority Shia Minority Chosen by followers (Caliph) Descendants of Muhammad (Imam)
21
ISLAM DIVIDES AFTER MOHAMMED’S DEATH: “Abu Kabr, Mohammed’s right-hand man, must become the Prophet’s successor. Mohammed himself recommended elections in Arabia and believed the community was responsible for choosing the next ruler. Mohammed asked him to lead us in many prayers and also called on him to make rulings in his absence. We, the majority, have chosen Abu Bakr as our next leader and believe it is the only natural response.” “Ali, Mohammed’s cousin & daughter’s husband, should be the Prophet’s successor. Just as God appointed Mohammed to be his messenger, God has chosen Ali as the rightful ruler. On various occasions and in various ways, Mohammed had claimed that Ali was God’s divine chose.” SUNNI MUSLIMS SHI’A MUSLIMS

25
Spread of Islam AIM: How did Islam spread after Mohammed’s death?
26
Spread of Islam United by Islam and strengthened by strong leadership, the once-divided Arab tribes set out on a jihad (holy war) against non-believers converting them to Islam through a series of military conquests. As a result, Islam spread quickly throughout the Middle East, Northern and Western Africa
27
Growing Empire Defeated Persia in A.D. 637 (Iraq/Iran) Captured Jerusalem in A.D. 638 Conquered Central Asia, northern India, and Northern Africa Early caliphs came from the Umayyad family. They moved their capital from Medina to Damascus Defeated Persia in A.D. 637 (Iraq/Iran) Captured Jerusalem in A.D. 638 Conquered Central Asia, northern India, and Northern Africa Early caliphs came from the Umayyad family. They moved their capital from Medina to Damascus
28
Spread of Islam It also spread quickly among the poor in India because the religion did not recognize the caste system
29
Growing Empire Many different factors contributed to the growth of the Islamic empire: 1. The Muslims defeated many empires around the Arabian peninsula 2. As Islam quickly spread outward from the Arabian Peninsula, non- believers were converted to Islam. 3. They made treaties with conquered people 4. Muslim rulers treated Jews and Christians with respect since they were believed to worship the same God but were “people of the book.” They were allowed to continue their individual practices put required to pay a tax. These inclusive practices helped with the spread of Islam and stability of the caliphate.
30
Impact of Caliphates Caliphate? The Islamic caliphates had a cultural and technological impact on other regions as well. While learning declined in Western Europe, the Muslims experienced a Golden Age based on classical learning and the mix of cultures and ideas within the empire – mathematics, arts, architecture, literature and medicine flourished.
31
Islam Prospers - Impact of Trade Due to Arabia’s location, merchants had easy access to South Asia, Europe, and Africa. As a result the Islamic world became a crossroads for trade, bringing together exchange of goods from India, China, Africa, Spain and the eastern Mediterranean. Along with goods, merchants spread Islamic beliefs to India, Africa, Malaysia, and Indonesia MAP
32
Islam Prospers - Impact of Trade Trade brought new products to Muslim lands Paper and gunpowder- came from China Cotton, rice, and oranges- came from India, China, and Southeast Asia Ivory, cloves, and slaves- came from Africa
33
Islam Prospers - The Growth of Cities In addition to bringing people, products, and ideas together, trade also created wealth, and cultural advancement Two major cities: 1) Baghdad (Iraq) 2) Cordoba (Spain)
34
“PEOPLE OF THE BOOK” = Christians & Jews received special consideration by Muslims during conquest WHY??? What people would forced to convert to Islam?? POLYTHEISTS / IDOL WORSHIPPERS *NOTES*
35
ISLAM SPREADS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD (630 - 800 A.D.) REASONS FOR SUCCESS: 1.Strong and able elected successors: Abu Bakr caliphs- a title given to the people who ruled after Mohammed’s death (successors) 2. Caliphs used military force to assert authority in Arabia and other lands 3. Caliphs gained support of conquered people 4. Victories became a sign of Allah’s support for Islam 5. Jihad- duty of Muslims to spread Islam and be one with Allah. Mohammed taught that anyone who died in a “Holy War” to spread Islam would go directly to Heaven.
36
Rise of The Ottoman Empire AIM: Explain the impact of the Ottoman Empire and Islam on Europe, Africa, Asia and on global trade.
37
Who were the Ottomans? The Ottomans were a Turkish nomadic group that came from central Asia. The Anatolia peninsula is where the Ottomans came to power pushing back the Byzantine empire until in 1453 they captured the city of Constantinople, made it their capital, and renamed it Istanbul. The Ottomans conquered much of the Islamic world (Egypt, North Africa, Arabia) and became the prominent Muslim power. What gave the Ottomans Military Superiority? You tube Video - Ottoman Empire part 1 Ottoman production of gunpowder and saltpeter, and of cannon, guns, and muskets. http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/tech/summary/v047/47.2bektas.html
38
Ottoman Empire: From Istanbul the Ottomans set on the crossroads of Europe and Asia and hindered the trade between east and west. With the Ottomans in control of the overland trade route Europeans would look elsewhere for routes to the east. This would be a major factor why nations such as Portugal and Spain would help lead the Age of Exploration.
39
Suleiman I (the Magnificent, the Lawgiver) The Ottomans under the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent reached its height of power in the mid 1500’s. Their gains included land in Eastern Europe (Balkans,Hungary, even to the gates of Vienna).

41
4. Impact on global trade (Disruption of established trade routes (silk road) and European search for new ones, fueling the age of exploration) The Ottoman Empire cut off trade in the area which served to heighten tensions between the Empire and Western Europe. This also set up the Age of Exploration by forcing the Europeans to find other routes to reach the Far East. http://teachmideast.org/essays/28-history/82-ottoman-history-new-questions-new-answers http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/socst/ghgonline/units/4/u4b.html
