Islam grows
After Muhammad died in 632 the Muslim community needed to make the decision on who would be there next religious leader
Not everyone was welcoming of the caliph
Othrs wouldn’t pay taxes
Some individual even declared themselves to be prophets
Abu-bakr declared a jihad which has 2 meanings
An inner struggle with evil
An armed struggle against non believer
The next 3 caliphers after abu-bakr expanded into the sassandid
Well disciplined
Great leaders
The Qur’an does not allow for muslims to force others to convert to this religion
They made the Christians and jews pay a tax however b/c they didn’t fight for the islam military groups
