Muhammad ibn Abdullah: Difference between revisions

Under the caliphs who assumed authority after his death, and through the use of [[Jihad]] (as instructed by Muhammad at the [[A Brief Analysis of Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon|Farewell Sermon]]), the Islamic empire expanded into [[Palestinian Authority area |Palestine]], [[Syria]], Mesopotamia, [[Iran|Persia]], [[Egypt]], North [[Africa]], southern [[Spain]], and Anatolia. Later violent conquests (which eventually prompted the crusades), commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the Eastern Hemisphere, including parts of [[China]] and South-east Asia.
