Umar

Abu Bakr's reign was short, and in 634 he was succeeded by Umar as caliph. Umar reigned for ten years before being assassinated and was followed by Uthman ibn Affan in 644. Both of these men had been among Muhammad's earliest followers, were linked to him by clanship and marriage, and had taken prominent parts in various military campaigns. Aisha, in the meantime, lived in Medina and made several pilgrimages to Mecca. In 655, Uthman's house was put under siege by about 1000 rebels. Eventually…

there are three such examples that show insight of the rise and spread of Islam. The first example is the Pact of Umar (ninth century CE), second is the Quranic Comments on the Torah and the Gospels (early seventh century CE.),and the last is Abu Uthman al-Jahiz, on the Zanji (c. 860 CE). These three examples show incite in how and why the Islam movement was able to spread.

end. My heart pounded as I approached the small cluster of nurses. Huddled at the end of a patient’s bed, the group of women in white aprons and pink button-up dresses whispered amongst themselves and avoided the gaze of the fuming lead nurse in front of them. Maria yanked the wool blanket off the patient beside her and threw it onto the linoleum floor. “Who admitted this man? He shouldn’t be here.” I rose on my tiptoes, struggling to get a glimpse of the patient. A Naseeri Arab man. Uncovered,…

it would be dishonorable not to fight. (Two Views of the fall of Jerusalem). While the Christians and Muslims held high tension, both religions co-existed with one another in certain areas, using reason to resolve disputes.

Al-Uqlidisi also confirms the general societal perception of Greek superiority over the Indians in mathematics when explaining the use of paper instead of the dust board. He says, 'we may hide it [Indian method] also by means [paper], so that one who sees him that computes with it does not know that it is Hindi, but thinks that it is Rumi '. Here he suggests that the utilization of paper would allow the general people to calculate by writing, similarly to the dust board, but would look neater,…

One form of racial profiling is criminal profiling, practiced by law enforcement officials as focus on a group of characteristics; believe to be associated with crime (ACLU, 2015).

each of these individual sermons are not validated due to their unidentifiable “chain of transmission” (al-Haidari, n.d.). It’s just not possible in some cases. For example, in India, Hadith are considered very important. Bhatty brings up an excellent point, however. Some of the situations in the Hadith relate directly to situations that took place in India “with which the Prophet just could not have been acquainted” and therefore have subsequently been deemed untrue (Bhatty, 1994). This,…

As the term implies, the focus is not on individual countries, but on the world in its entirety. Thus, it is a complex process that involves the movement of goods, services, capital and information across international borders, as well as the diffusion of political, cultural and intellectual discourse.
