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. • 1. 911 attacks • 2. al-Qaeda (1988today) • 1. were a series of four coordinated suicide attacks upon the United States in New York City and the Washington D.C. area by al-Qaeda • 2.

The Arabs recognized a supreme god named Allah but they also believed in other tribal gods. They revered the Kaaba for its association with Abraham. • 5.

WHAT IS THE ARAB NAME FOR GOD? 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. • 7. Muhammad • 8. Khadija • 7. Islamic prophet who believed that the final revelations of Allah were given to him • 8. rich widow, employer and wife of Section 1Muhammad 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. • 9. Quran • 9. the holy book of • 10.

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. • 12. Madinah • 12. city of the • 13. Hijrah • 13. the journey of prophet Muhammad and his followers to Madinah • 14. people of Madinah & Bedouins (Arabs in the desert) • 14. first Muslims converts 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.

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. • 17. shari’ah • 17. a law code which provides leaders with a set of practical laws to regulate their daily lives • Does not separate religious matters from civil or political law Section 1 DO NOW • EXPLAIN WHAT SHARI’AH IS TO MUSLIMS.

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. • 1. Abu Bakr • 1. A wealthy • 2. caliph • 2. successor to merchant and Muhammad’s fatherin-law, named caliph (leader) Section 1 Muhammad 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. • 3. jihad • 3. “struggle in the way • 4. Muslim warrior’s • 4. assured a place in belief of God” a holy war; defensive warfare Paradise if they died in battle 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. • 5.

Hussein, second son of Ali—the son-in-law of Muhammad encouraged his followers to rise up against Umayyad rule.

This political split led to the development of two branches of Muslims that persists to the present. The Sunnis are a majority in the Muslim world, but most of the people in Iraq and neighboring Iran consider themselves to be Shiites. Over the years, Shiites developed their own body of law, which differed from that of the Sunni majority. • 10. Shiite • 10.

Look on page 194 at the pillars of Islam and look at the last paragraph on page 194. 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. • 1. House of Wisdom • 1.

Ibn-Rushd • 2. philosopher who studied/translated/ commented on Aristotle’s works 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. • 3. astrolabe • 3. an instrument used by sailors to determine their location by observing the positions of stars and planets • 4. a famous physician • 4.

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 for the political and social factors that determine the course of history. • 5. Ibn-Khaldun • 5. famous historian who • 6. Omar Khayyam • 6.

One of the most famous mosques is the ninth-century mosque at Cordoba in southern Spain. It is still in remarkable condition today.

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.
