The September 11 attacks (also referred to
as September 11, September 11th or9/11) were a series of four
coordinated suicide attacks upon the United States in New York City
and the Washington, D.C., area on September 11, 2001. On that
Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group alQaeda hijacked four passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally
crashed two planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines
Flight 175, into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New
York City; both towers collapsed within two hours.

Section 1
Into this world of tension stepped Muhammad. Born in Makkah to a merchant
family, he became an orphan at the age of five. He grew up to become a
caravan manager and married a rich widow named Khadija, who was also his
employer. Over time, Muhammad became troubled by the growing gap
between what he saw as the simple and generosity of most Makkans and the
greediness of the rich trading elites in the city. Deeply worried, he began to
visit the hills to meditate. During one of these visits, Muslims believe,
Muhammad received revelations from God.

Muhammad came to believe that Allah had already revealed himself in part
through Moses and Jesus and---thus through Hebrew and Christian traditions.
He believed however, that the final revelations of Allah were now being given
to him. Out of these revelations, which were eventually written down, came
the Quran. The Quran contains the ethical guidelines and laws by which the
followers of Allah are to live.

DO NOW
• WHAT DOES ISLAM MEAN? WHAT ARE
PEOPLE CALLED WHO PRACTICE ISLAM
AND TELL ME THE NAME OF THEIR HOLY
BOOK (BIBLE)? IS MUSLIM AN
ETHNICITY (RACE)?
Section 1
• After receiving the revelations Muhammad
•
returned home and reflected upon his
experience. His wife, Khadija, urged him to
follow Gabriel’s message, and she became the
first convert to Islam. Muhammad then set out
to convince the people of Makkah of the truth of
the revelations.
People were surprised at his claims to be a
prophet. The wealthy feared his attacks on
corrupt society would upset the established
social and political order. After three years of
preaching, he had only 30 followers.
Section 1
Muhammad became discouraged by the persecution of his followers, as
well as by the failure of the Makkans to accept his message. He and
some of his closest supporters left Makkah and moved north to Yathrib,
later renamed Madinah. The journey of Muhammad and his followers
to Madinah is known as the Hijrah. The year the journey occurred,
622, became year 1 in the official calendar of Islam.

Section 1
Muslims saw no separation between political and religious authority.
Submission to the will of Allah meant submission to his prophet Muhammad.
Muhammad soon became both a religious and political leader. His political
and military skills enabled him to put together a reliable military force to
defend himself and his followers. His military victories against Makkans began
to attract large numbers of supporters. After conquering Makkah most of the
townspeople converted to Islam. During a visit to the Kaaba, Muhammad
declared it a sacred shrine.

Section 1
Like Christianity and Judaism, Islam is
monotheistic. Allah is the all-powerful being who
created the universe and everything in it. Islam
emphasizes salvation and offers the hope of an
afterlife. Those who desire to achieve life after
death must subject themselves to the will of Allah.
Unlike Christianity, Islam does not believe that its
first preacher was divine. Muhammad was
considered a prophet, similar to Moses, but he was
also a man like other men. Muslims believe that
human beings rejected Allah’s earlier messengers,
Allah sent his final revelation to Muhammad.
Section 1
The Five Pillars of Islam
• (1.) Belief (Believing there is no deity but the
•
•
•
•
•
One God, and Muhammad is his messenger.)
(2.) Prayer (Performing the prescribed prayers
five times a day.)
(3.) Charity (Giving part of one’s wealth to the
poor “giving alms”)
(4). Fasting (Refraining from food and drink
from dawn to sunset through the month of
Ramadan)
(5.) Pilgrimage (Making a pilgrimage to Makkah
once in a lifetime)
The faithful who follow the law are guaranteed a
place in eternal paradiseSection 1
Those who follow the Five Pillars of Islam are guaranteed a place
in an eternal paradise. Islam is not just a set of religious beliefs
but a way of life as well. After Muhammad’s death, Muslim
scholars developed a law code known as the shari’ah. It is based
on scholars’ interpretations of the Quran and the example set by
Muhammad in his life. The Shari’ah applies the teachings of the
Quran to daily life. It regulates all aspects of Muslim life invluding
family life, business practice, government and moral conduct.

• Muhammad had been accepted as both
the political and religious leader of the
Islamic community. The death of
Muhammad left his followers with a
problem: Muhammad had never named a
successor. Although he had several
daughters, he had left no son. In a maleoriented society, who would lead the
community of the faithful?
Section 3: The Arab Empire and Its
Successors: Shortly after Muhammad’s death, some of his
closest followers chose Abu Bakr to be their leader. He was
named caliph, or successor to Muhammad. Under Bakr’s
leadership, the Islamic movement began to grow. As the Romans
had slowly conquered Italy, so also the Muslims expanded over
Arabia and beyond.

Under Abu Bakr’s leadership, the Islamic movement began to grow. As the
Romans had slowly conquered Italy, so also the Muslims expanded over Arabia,
and beyond. Muhammad had overcome military efforts by the early Makkans
to defeat his movement. The Quran permitted fair, defensive warfare as jihad.
The Arabs were able to take control over parts of the Byzantine Empire, Egypt
and other areas of northern Africa. To the east, the Arabs had conquered the
entire Persian Empire by 650.

Paradise if they died in

The courage of Arab soldiers was enhanced by the
belief that Muslim warriors were assured a place in
Paradise if they died in battle.
• Early caliphs ruled their far-flung empire from
•
Madinah. After Abu Bakr died, problems arose
over who should become the next caliph. There
were no clear successors to Abu Bakr, and the
first two caliphs to rule after his death were
assassinated. In 656, Ali, Muhammad’s son-inlaw, was chosen to be caliph, but he too was
assassinated after ruling for five years.
Conquered people were not forced to convert to
Islam but were required to be loyal to Muslim
rule and to pay taxes.
Section 1
In 661, the general Mu’awiyah, the governor of Syria and one of Ali’s chief
rivals, became caliph. He moved quickly to make the office of caliph, called the
caliphate, hereditary in his own family. In doing this, he established the
Umyyad dynasty. At the beginning of the eighth century, Arab armies
conquered and converted the Berbers, a pastoral people living along the
Mediterranean coast of northern Africa. In 717, another Muslim force had
launched an attack on Constantinople with the hope of defeating the Byzantine
Empire. The Byzantines survived however, by destroying the Muslim fleet.
This created an uneasy frontier in southern Asia Minor between the Byzantine
Empire and the Islamic world.

In spite of Umayyad successes, internal struggles threatened the

as Persians and Byzantines, did not like the way local
administrators favored the Arabs. A revolt took place in presentday Iraq. Hussein, second son of Ali—the son-in-law of

This struggle led to a split of Islam into two groups: the Sunnis

branches of Muslims that persists to the present. The Sunnis are

neighboring Iran consider themselves to be Shiites. Over the
years, Shiites developed their own body of law, which differed

Section 1
The culture of Islam
• During the first few centuries of the Arab Empire,
the ancient Greek philosophers were largely
unknown in Europe. The Arabs, however, were
not only aware of Greek philosophy, they were
translating works by Plato and Aristotle into
Arabic. The translations were then put in a library
called the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, where
they were read and studied by Muslim scholars.
Similarly, texts on mathematics were brought to
Baghdad from India.
Section 1
Section 4: The Culture of Islam:
The
process of translating works and making them available to scholars was
aided by the making of paper, which was introduced from China in the
eighth century. By the end of the century, paper factories had been
established in Baghdad. Booksellers and libraries soon followed.

Philosophy, Science, and History
• Islamic scholars also made contributions to mathematics
•
and the natural sciences that were passed on to the
West. The Muslims adopted and passed on the
numerical system of India, including the use of the zero.
In Europe, it became known as the “Arabic” system. A
ninth-century Arab mathematician gave shape to the
mathematical discipline of algebra, which is still taught in
schools today.
In astronomy, Muslims set up an observatory at
Baghdad to study the position of the stars. They were
aware that Earth was round, and they named many
stars. They also perfected the astrolabe, an instrument
used by sailors to determine their location by observing
the position of stars and planets. The astrolabe made it
possible for Europeans to sail to the Americas.
Philosophy, Science, and History:
Muslim scholars developed
medicine as a field of scientific study. Especially well known was the philosopher
and scientists Ibn Sina. Ibn Sina wrote a medical encyclopedia that, among other
things, stressed the contagious nature of certain diseases. Ibn Sina showed how
diseases could be spread by contaminated water supplies.

Islamic scholars also took an interest in writing history. Ibn-Khaldun lied in the
14th century, was the most prominent Muslim historian of the age. Disappointed
in his career in politics, he began to devote his time to the study and writing of
history. In his most famous work Muqaddimah (Introduction of History) he
argued for a cyclical view of history. Civilizations, he believed, go through
regular cycles of birth, growth, and decay. He sought to find a scientific basis

One of the most famous mosques is the ninth-century

The finest example of Islamic architecture is the 14th century Alhambra in
Granada, Spain. Every inch of the castle’s surface is decorated in floral and
abstract patterns. Much of the decoration is plaster work that is so finely
carved that it looks like lace. The Alhambra is considered an excellent
expression of Islamic art. Most decorations on all forms of Islamic art
consisted of Arabic letters, natural plants, and abstract figures. These
decorations were repeated over and over in geometric patterns called
arabeques that completely covered the surfaces of objects.

The Quran granted women spiritual and social equality with men. Believers, men and
women, were to be friends and protectors of one another. Women had the right to the
fruits of their work and to own and inherit property. Women had played prominent
roles in the rise of Islam during the time of Muhammad. Islamic teachings did account
for differences between men and women in the family and social order. Both had duties
and responsibilities. As in most societies of the time, however, men were dominant in
