The early Islamic empire expanded by using different methods such as conquering lands, spreading their religion, treaties, or bribery. According to document B, “We [Abd al-Aziz’s forces] will not harass him [Theodmir], nor remove him from power.” The Muslims spread their religion and many people converted though the Muslims made treaties to keep peace between different lands. Muslims did have to conquer lands where people did not want to convert. According to document A, “The Muslims gathered together, and the Greek army marched against them… The battle they fought at al-Yarmuk was of the fiercest and bloodiest kind.” The Muslims fought very hard to get more land. The document also stated that women took part in the fight. This document could
So the men and women would fight violently. Another way the empire expands is in document B. In this document it talks about how they tried to make peace with the non-Muslims. So instead of fighting with each other they came to a peace treaty. Lastly in document C the empire technically paid people or bribed them to join their empire.
According to many sources, Muslims went on military conquests all the way through Africa, up to Spain and all the way to France; also, the military attacked up to Constantinople, across the Tigris River, and all the way to the Indus River in Asia(Doc. C). This map shows that the Muslim military traveled far across three continents and conquered a very large area in 125 years. The last reason that Islam spread so rapidly was the Muslim military that won many important battles and conquered a very large
There have been many Islamic achievements through time. Some of the most important Islamic achievements are having libraries, bookstores and schools. (Doc 2) Some others are art and calligraphy. (Doc. 6)
The early Islamic empire expanded using three methods. These methods included military conquest, political means, and financial incentives. First, the Islamic empire expanded through military force. According to the document A: battle of Yarmuck, the battle was fierce and bloody. 24,000 Muslims took part and 70,000 Greeks were put to death.
The Islamic Empire was huge, large, and untied. The early Islamic empire expanded by fiercely attacking and conquering other lands, as well as uniting them. To start off, In Document A (which is reliable because it happens to be written by Muslim historian Ahmad al-Biladuri in the 800s) it talks about how they killed 70,000 people. Even girls helped in creating a bloodbath which shows how fierce and strong they were on a battlefield and how they easily took more lands.
Muhammad, the final messenger of God, and his followers spread the message of Allah to the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula in 610 CE. Surprisingly, Muhammad was pretty popular and his word, Islam, spread rather quickly because of Trade routes in the peninsula, the Muslims military conquest, and treaties and toleration. Out of all of those three main reasons why Islam spread fast, Treaties and Taxation was the most important. The treaties and toleration that the Muslims assembled were the main reason why people either stayed in the Islam religion and others transferred and started practicing Islam.
Many cities came under control of strong Muslim armies, easily spreading the religion. This is shown by Document C, a map showing conquered territories, created from various sources. Document C states, “Mecca came under Muslim control by 622, Baghdad by 632, Jerusalem by 661, and Saragossa by 661.” This shows that the armies conquered many cities very quickly. Much territory is conquered within 100 years.
The Spread of Islamic Empire The Islamic empire had spread rapidly in its early years proved by sources. The Islamic empire expanded in many ways but an example is when Muslim empires took control of the eastern Roman Empire in 636 C.E. according to document A, “The Muslim gathered together”. By this it means, that Muslims stood together no matter what happened. An example is that in 713 CE a Muslim commander signed a treaty with forces invading the Christian king of the southern Spain.
I find the role of religion in government quite interesting. In a previous lesson we learned about the Byzantine and Persian Empires and how they served as patrons for religious orthodoxies. Now as we start to discuss more about post-Muhammad Islam, we learn about the empires that served as the patrons for Islam. Religion seems to be the primary foundation for the rise and success for many of these empires, but in the 21st century religion does not serve this same purpose. The Safavid Empire was govern by and for Shiite Muslims, the Mughul Empire is quite distinct in that it seemed to be fueled by religious tolerance, so it was a hybrid of Islam and Hinduism, and the Ottoman Empire is also noteworthy as Robinson describes it as the “mightiest of the three”, most likely due
The Islamic Empire Had three different ways of conquering land to expand their Empire. The first way of how the Islamic Empire conquered land was by making treaties so they would not have to fight for land. The second way of conquering land
Empire of faith 1 How Islam Started Islam started from Prophet Muhammad. Muhammad became an orphan in an early age. His uncle took care of him. Even without parents, he grew up well and developed many skills.
The Syrains liked the Muslim way of rule more than the tyranny of the Byzantines. The Muslim’s laws and rules often enticed people with their fairness, which made them want to convert to Islam. Three of the major ways that the religion of Islam spread so fast were trade, conquest, and fairness of rules. This is important today, because Islam is one of the most prominent religions in the world
Islam was welcomed into areas under these empires because people didn 't like the oppressive rule. In conclusion, trade, conquest and choice are reasons Islam spread so
104: The Slanderer This passage is probably about one or a few people in Mecca before Muhammad was exiled. During this time he was trying to convince people to only follow Allah. He was arguing against the polytheistic aristocracy of Mecca. This condemnation showed that salvation is not only about wealth. It is about good works and believing in Allah.
After considering the history of the Muslim World in the period between the 11th and 16th century, particular events, processes, and/or encounters that I would deem overall the most enduring and most defining during this time is the almoravid and almohad states, the mongolian campaign, and the declaration of the caliphate in Cordoba as well as the collapse of the caliphate in Cordoba. I believe that these events were key in the muslim world during this time because they affected the culture as a whole. First, I chose the Almoravid and Almohad states as an enduring and defining event in this time period because at first, the Almoravid dynasty was the most powerful. The Almoravid dynasty was established in the 11th century and they spread
