    The Muslim empire went through great expansion. I think the major key to the Islamic expansion was their military. They conquered lots such as the Greeks. They conquered all who rebelled against them. One way military helped with Islamic expansion is by conquering others around the world and teaching them of the Islamic religion. By conquering others this expanded and increased the Muslim empire and population. According to Document A “The battle they fought at al-Yarmuk was of the fiercest and bloodiest kind.

    Military conquest was one of the primary reasons why Islam spread so quickly. The Document C “Spread of Islam” map shows that between 622 and 750, the Islamic world expanded to Saragossa in the north and as far as Kabul to the east. On the map, there are arrows traveling in many directions. These arrows represent military campaigns. It seems that wherever these arrows go, the land is almost always converted into Islamic territory, therefore, the army’s operations prove to be successful. The significant amount of land claimed shows that the Islamic troops are a force to be reckoned with. According to the Document F al-Baladhuri excerpt, “Hereclius gathered [a] large Byzantine army … numbering about 200,000...By Allah’s help, some 70,000 of them…

    Jihad, which some people refer to as the sixth pillar, means struggle for your religion. This is a religious belief and practice that Islams take very seriously. Sometimes known as holy war, many Islams use this as their reason to fight. In document #4 it is showing that Muslims, at the Battle of Tours saw the resistance to convert as a struggle, so they fought. Not always did they use force, but sometimes propaganda to get people to convert. People were promised that if they did, they could go to Paradise. Document #2 a qoute from the Quran, states that if you follow Allah and his Apostle(Muhammad) then he’ll bring you there. But if you turn away, if you don't accept, then you will be punished or go to Hell.

    Islam is a constantly spreading religion embraced by many. It was inspired in 610 CE, when a man named Muhammad went to a cave in Mount Hira to pray. It was claimed that there, an angel named Gabriel told Muhammad of a one true god named Allah. This inspired Muhammad to spread the ideas of Allah, beginning the world-wide religion known as Islam. Although it met much resistance in the city of Mecca at first, the religion grew and Muhammad was seen as a prophet of Allah. After Muhammad’s death in 632 CE, all of his teachings were recorded in a book called the Qur’an, and the religion continued on to spread. Within 100 years of Muhammad's death, Islam had spread past the Middle East and went to other continents, such as, Africa, Asia, and Europe (Background Essay).

    The Islamics had many great achievements but I think their greatest one was building a trade route through their empire. Muslims were able to make such great contributions because they were open minded and had a high tolerance for different cultures. Because of this, they got to learn from the different countries they took over such as Greece, Rome, and India. They had so many different ideas and all that knowledge led to them making great achievements that lasted and made an impact on the world. Islamics had quite a few achievements in math. One being, as stated in Document 1, that they relied on mathematicians to calculate prayer times and also the direction of the Mecca. Both of these were very important to them because their culture was…
