In 1997, the percentage of humans who regarded themselves as Christian rose only from 33.7% in 1970 to 33.9% in 1996. Its total number of adherents is growing at about 2.3% annually. Islam is currently spreading at a faster rate: about 3.9% and is thus increasing its market share. Populations in mostly Christian countries are remaining level and, in some cases, declining. Consequently, the percentage of Christians in the world is predicted to be at approximately 25% of the world's population by 2025. As a result of the extremely high rates of population growth in their major nations, the proportion of Muslims in the world continues to increase dramatically. Islam will probably account for about 30% of the world's population by 2025. ~ U.S. Center for Christian World Missions, 2000. Christianity WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ISLAM? Holy Book ?

How did observing Islamic teachings help to create unity among Muslims? Because Muhammad wrote the Qu’ran in Arabic and all followers are required to read it, that one language and that one religion created unity. The SIGNIFICANCE of Muhammad is… he single-handedly unified hundreds of nomadic tribes in Arabia who spoke different languages and worshipped hundreds of different gods. He did this with one tool: the Qu’ran ! Written in a COMMON LANGUAGE (Arabic) + providing a COMMON RELIGION (Islam) = he achieved Arabian UNITY. PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. PP Design of T.

CH 10, Sec. 2: “The Spread of Islam” Packet, p. 9 Textbook, p. 238 Death of Muhammad, ca. 632 C.E. • Muhammad had not named a successor or instructed his followers how to choose one. • Relying on ancient tribal custom, the Muslim community elected Abu-Bakr as the new leader and Muhammad’s first successor. He had been a loyal friend of Muhammad, accompanied him on the Hejirah, and a man respected for his devotion to Islam. Under Abu-Bakr, the collection of Mohammad's revelations were recorded in the Qur’an. Illuminated Qur'an PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

The Qur’an and Muhammad’s actions in life. “Rightly Guided” Caliphs • Abu-Bakr and the next three elected caliphs—Umar, Uthman, and Ali—all had known Muhammad and supported his mission. • They used the Qur’an and Muhammad’s 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” PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. 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 Muhammad’s successors in the Muslim community. • By the time Abu-Bakr died in 634, the Muslim state controlled all of Arabia. Abu-Bakar Examine the maps in your packet that show the “Spread of Islam” PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. 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 miles—about two times the distance across the continental United States.

CH 10, Sec. 2: “The Spread of Islam” Packet, p. 9 Textbook, p. 238 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.” PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. CH 10, Sec. 2: “The Spread of Islam” Packet, p. 9 Textbook, p. 239 Treatment of Conquered Peoples • 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.

Sunni–Shi’a Split • This group was called Shi’a, meaning the “party” of Ali. • Those who did not outwardly resist the rule of the Umayyads later became known as Sunni, meaning followers of Muhammad’s example. • Another group, the Sufi (SOO•fee), reacted to the luxurious life of the Umayyads by pursuing a life of poverty and devotion to a spiritual path. 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 Qur’an and tradition. 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 shari’a established standards of Islamic conduct. CH 10, Sec. 2: “The Spread of Islam” Packet, p. 9 Textbook, p. 240 The Umayyads 6. What led to the downfall of the Umayyads? The division of Islam into Sunni, Shi’a, and Sufi branches. The Sunni and Shi’a had different ideas about leadership; and the Sufi practiced lives of extreme poverty and religious devotion. B. The 3 Different Branches or Sects Within Islam Sunni – choose their caliph by election. Approx. 80% Muslims are Sunni. Shi’a – believe the caliph must be a relative of Muhammad. Approx. 17% Muslims are Shi’a. Sufi – abandon material possessions, live simple “monastic” life PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. Umayyad mosque, Damascus. CH 10, Sec. 2: “The Spread of Islam” Packet, p. 9 Textbook, p. 240 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 (AB•uh•SIHDZ), 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. PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. 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?

PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. CH 10, Sec. 2: “The Spread of Islam” Packet, p. 9 Textbook, p. 241 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.

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. PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. CH 10, Sec. 3: “Muslim Achievements” Packet, p. 19 Textbook, p. 244-245 2. Medicine, math, and science • Arabic numerals, the importance of zero (10 digits) • Developed algebra, trigonometry in astronomy • Charted stars, comets, and planets / constellation charts • The astrolabe 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. See Textbook, p. 245 PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S.

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 Alhazen explanation that it led George Sarton to call Alhazen "the greatest 965-1040 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 Greekspeaking civil servants extensively, and sought to preserve Greek science. PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S. B. A. D. C.

Philosophy and History • Translated the works of Greek philosophers into Arabic. • Ibn Khaldun wrote a study of World History. Ibn Khaldun's chief contribution lies in philosophy of history and sociology. He wrote the first world history aimed at an analysis of historical events. This volume, commonly known as Muqaddimah or 'Prolegomena', was based on Ibn Khaldun's unique approach and became a masterpiece in literature on philosophy of history and sociology. The chief concern of this monumental work was to identify psychological, economic, environmental and social facts that contribute to the advancement of human civilization and the currents of history. He analyzed the dynamics of group relationships and Ibn Khaldun showed how group-feelings, al-'Asabiyya, give rise to the ascent of a new 1332-1395 civilization and political power and how, later on, its diffusion into a more general civilization invites the advent of a still new 'Asabiyya in its pristine form. He identified an almost rhythmic repetition of rise and fall in human civilization, and analyzed factors contributing to it. His contribution to history is marked by the fact that, unlike most earlier writers interpreting history largely in a political context, he emphasized environmental, sociological, psychological and economic factors governing the apparent events. This revolutionized the science of history and also laid the foundation of Umraniyat (Sociology). PP Design of T. Loessin; Akins H.S.
