  his followers how to choose one.
• Relying on ancient tribal custom, the Muslim
  community elected Abu-Bakr as the new leader and
  Muhammads first successor.
• He had been a loyal
  friend of Muhammad,
• accompanied him on
  the Hijrah, and a man respected
• for his devotion to
  Islam.
• Under Abu-Bakr,
  
• the collection of
  Mohammad's revelations
• were recorded in the
  Quran.

  (KAYlihf), a title that means successor or
  deputy.

.
30
Rightly Guided Caliphs
1. What did the rightly guided caliphs use as
guides to leadership? The Quran and
Muhammads actions in life.

• Abu-Bakr and the next three elected caliphsUmar,
  Uthman, and Aliall had known Muhammad and
  supported his mission.
• They used the Quran and Muhammads actions as
  guides to leadership.
• For this, they are known as the rightly guided
  caliphs.
• The region ruled by a caliph was called a
  caliphate.

What is the meaning of the word caliph?
Caliph means successor
31
Rightly Guided Caliphs

• Abu-Bakr had promised the Muslim community he
  would uphold what Muhammad stood for.
• For two years, Abu-Bakr used military force to
  reassert the authority of Muhammads successors
  in the Muslim community.

32
Rightly Guided Caliphs

• Under Umar, the second caliph, swift and highly
  disciplined armies conquered Syria and lower
  Egypt, which were part of the Byzantine Empire.
• The next two caliphs, Uthman and Ali, continued
  to expand Muslim territory both eastward and
  westward.
• By 750, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indus
  River, the Muslim Empire stretched 6,000
  milesabout two times the distance across the
  continental United States.

.
33
Rightly Guided Caliphs
2. What changes did they make during their
rule? They mobilized highly-disciplined
armies that conquered Arabia, parts of the
Byzantine Empire, and Persia.
.
.
34
Rightly Guided Caliphs

• 3. Why were they successful in their quest to
  expand the empire and
• spread Islam?
• Muslims were willing to fight to extend and
  defend Islam.
• Armies were well-disciplined and expertly
  commanded.
• The Byzantine and Persian empires were weak at
  this time.
• People who had suffered religious persecution
  welcomed the
• more tolerant Islamic empire.

Persecutions in Persia of those who did not
practice official Zoroastrianism, as well as
persecution in the Byzantine empire of those who
did not practice official Christianity, was
widespread at this time. The persecuted often
referred to the Islamic invaders as liberators.
.
35
Treatment of Conquered Peoples
Yes write this down in a SUMMARY in your own words

• Many conquered peoples chose to accept Islam.
• They were attracted by the appeal of the message
  of Islam, as well as by the economic benefit for
  Muslims of not having to pay a poll tax.
• Christians and Jews, as people of the book,
  were allowed to practice their faiths freely and
  even received special consideration.
• Christians and Jews played important roles as
  officials, scholars, and bureaucrats in the
  Muslim state.
• In practice, tolerance like this was extended to
  other groups as well.

.
36
Internal Conflict Creates a Crisis

• The murder of Uthman in 656 triggered a civil
  war, with various groups struggling for power.
• A family known as the Umayyad (ooMYEyadz) came
  to power.
• They set up a hereditary system of succession.

The Umayyads
4. What ended the elective system of choosing a
caliph? When the Umayyads came to power after a
bloody civil war, they set up a hereditary
system of succession.
37
The Umayyads
5. What other changes did they make during their
rule? They moved the capital to Damascus.
They abandoned the simple life of previous
caliphs, and began surrounding themselves with
wealth and ceremonies.
When you look at the expanse of the lands
conquered by the Umayyad, what logistical reason
might they have had for relocating the capital to
Damascus?
38
Byzantine Empire, 814
What happened?
39
SunniShia Split

• In the interest of peace, the majority of
• Muslims accepted the Umayyads rule.
• A minority did continue to resist, and around
  some of these groups an alternate view of the
  office of caliph developed.
• In this view, the caliphthe person most
  responsible for spreading Muhammads
  messageneeded to be a relative of the Prophet.

40
SunniShia Split

• This group was called Shia, meaning the party
  of Ali.
• Those who did not outwardly resist the rule of
  the Umayyads later became known as Sunni, meaning
  followers of Muhammads example.
• Another group, the Sufi (SOOfee), reacted to the
  luxurious life of the Umayyads by pursuing a life
  of poverty and devotion to a spiritual path.

41
The Sufi

• They tried to achieve direct personal contact
  with God through mystical means, such as
  meditation and chanting.
• In some ways they were similar to Christian and
  Buddhist monks.
• The Sufis played an important role in keeping
  Muslims focused on the Quran and tradition.

42
The Sufi

• Later, they became very active as missionaries in
  newly conquered lands.
• Another religious development was the growth of
  scholarship in various branches of Islamic
  learning and law.
• The study of the traditions of Muhammad, Arabic
  language, and the development of schools of
  sharia established standards of Islamic conduct.

43
Write down Section B
The Umayyads
6. What led to the downfall of the Umayyads?
The division of Islam into Sunni, Shia, and Sufi
branches. The Sunni and Shia had different
ideas about leadership and the Sufi
practiced lives of extreme poverty and
religious devotion.

• The 3 Different Branches or Sects Within Islam
• Sunni choose their caliph by election.
• Approx. 80 Muslims are Sunni.
• Shia believe the caliph must be
• a relative of Muhammad.
• Approx. 17 Muslims are Shia.
• Sufi abandon material possessions,
• live simple monastic life

44
The Abbasids

• Vigorous religious and political opposition to
  the Umayyad caliphate led to its downfall.
• Especially troubling to Muslims was the Umayyad
  obsession with material wealth.
• Rebel groups overthrew the Umayyads in the year
  750.
• The most powerful of those groups, the Abbasids
  (ABuhSIHDZ), took control of the empire.

7. How did the Abbasids come to power? They
were the most powerful of the rebel groups that
overthrew the Ummayads.
.
45
The Abbasids

• The Abbasids strength lay in the former Persian
  lands
• including Iraq, Iran, and central Asia.

8. What changes did they make during their
rule? They moved the capital to Baghdad,
developed a strong government bureaucracy,
created an efficient tax system, and a strong
trade network.

Abbasids Consolidate Power

• A chancery prepared letters and documents.
• A special department managed the business of the
  army.
• Diplomats from the empire were sent to courts in
  Europe (for example, Charlemagnes court),
  Africa, and Asia to conduct imperial business.
• To support this bureaucracy, the Abbasids taxed
  land, imports, and exports, and non-Muslims
  wealth.

8. What major problem did the Abbasids face?
They were unable to complete solid political
control over such an immense empire.

These powerful caliphates ruled the Islamic
world, expanded the Arab empire, and brought
about a golden age in Muslim civilization.
UMAYYADS
ABBASSIDS

• Set up dynasty that ruled until 750
• Moved capital to Damascus
• Conquered lands from Atlantic to the Indus Valley
• Relied on local officials to govern the empire,
  while the Umayyads themselves lived in great
  luxury.
• Faced economic tensions between wealthy and poor
  Arabs
• Split in Islam occurs during their reign
  between Sunni, Shia, Sufi.

• Overthrew the Umayyads in 750
• Moved capital to Baghdad
• Ended Arab dominance and helped make Islam a
  universal religion
• Empire of the caliphs reached its greatest wealth
  and power through strong trade network.
• Muslim civilization enjoyed a Golden Age
• Difficulty controlling vast empire.

.
51
Rival Groups Divide Muslim Lands

• The Abbasid caliphate lasted from 750 to 1258.
• The Fatimid (FATuhMIHD) Dynasty, named after
  Muhammads daughter Fatima, ruled in North Africa
  and spread across the Red Sea to western Arabia
  and Syria.
• Although politically divided, the Abbasid Empire
  and the smaller powers remained unified in other
  ways. Religion, language, trade, and the economy
  tied the lands together.

.
52
Muslim Trade Network

• The two major sea-trading zonesthose of the
  Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Oceanlinked the
  Muslim Empire into a world system of trade by
  sea.
• The land network connected the Silk Roads of
  China and India with Europe and Africa.
• Muslim merchants needed only a single language,
  Arabic, and a single currency, the Abbasid dinar,
  to travel from Córdoba, in Spain, to Baghdad and
  on to China.

.
53
Muslim Trade Network

• To encourage the flow of trade, Muslim
  moneychangers set up banks in cities throughout
  the empire.
• Banks offered letters of credit, called sakks, to
  merchants.
• A merchant with a sakk from a bank in Baghdad
  could exchange it for cash at a bank in any other
  major city in the empire.
• In Europe, the word sakk was pronounced, check.
  Thus, the practice of using checks dates back to
  the Muslim Empire.

• 2. Medicine, math, and science
• Arabic numerals, the importance of zero (10
  digits)
• Developed algebra, trigonometry in astronomy

Al-Kwarazini
(Mohammad bin Musa Al-Khawarizmi)
was perhaps one of the
greatest mathematicians who ever lived.
He was the founder of
several branches of mathematics. He not
only initiated the
subject of algebra in a systematic form but he
also developed
it to the extent of giving analytical solutions
of linear and
quadratic equations, which established him as
the founder
of Algebra. The very name Algebra has been
derived from
his famous book Al-Jabr wa-al-Mfuqabilah. His
arithmetic
synthesized Greek and Hindu knowledge and
contained his
own contributions to mathematics and science. He
explained the
use of zero, a numeral of fundamental importance
developed by the Arabs. Similarly, he developed
the decimal system so that the overall system of
numerals 'algorithm' or 'algorizm' is named after
him. In addition to introducing the Indian system
of numerals (now generally known as Arabic
numerals), he developed at length several
arithmetical procedures, including operations on
fractions. It was through his work that the
system of numerals was first introduced to Arabs
and later to Europe, through its translations in
European languages. He developed in detail
trigonometric tables containing the sine
functions.

The Astrolabe played a pivotal role in
history. The astrolabe was highly developed in
the Islamic world by 800 and was introduced to
Europe from Islamic Spain (Andalusia) in the
early 12th century. It was the most popular
astronomical instrument until about 1650, when it
was replaced by more specialized and accurate
instruments. It is doubtful the European
explorers could have ever launched the great Age
of Discovery without this device. Astrolabes
are still appreciated for their unique
capabilites and their value for astronomy
education.

Alhazen wrote The Book of Optics (Kitab
al-Manazir), probably the most thoroughly
scientific in method of all medieval works. In
it, Alhazen developed a broad theory that
explained vision by using geometry and anatomy.
He rejected the theory of Euclid and Ptolemy that
vision results from a ray leaving the eye and
reaching the object. Instead he postulated,
correctly, that each point on a lighted area or
object radiates light rays in every direction,
but only one ray from each point strikes the eye
perpendicularly, "and is transmitted there by the
transparent body the lens." So profound and
seminal was this explanation that it led George
Sarton to call Alhazen "the greatest Muslim
physicist and one the greatest students of optics
of all time."

Why is it that so many ancient Greek texts
survive only in Arabic translations? How did the
Arabs, who had no direct contact with the
science and learning of Classical Greece, come to
be the inheritors of the classical tradition?
The answer appears to be the Umayyad dynasty
located in Damascus. They had an interest in
things Greek, employed educated Greek- speaking
civil servants extensively, and sought to
preserve Greek science.
