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 Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, 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.
