Modern Islamic history begins in Arabia in the 7th century with the emergence of the prophet Muhammad.

History of Islam: Encyclopedia II - History of Islam - The spread of Islam

After Muhammad's death, Abu Bakr, his father-in-law and one of the earliest converts, assumed leadership of the Muslim community. This is still a matter of contention among Muslims; the largest sect of Islam, the Sunnis, and the various Shi'a sects, disagree radically as to the history and significance of Abu Bakr's succession to what was later called the caliphate. For further discussion, see Succession to Muhammad. Abu Bakr spent most of his brief caliphate fighting the Ridda Wars, bringing rebellious Arabian tribes to heel. After d ...

History of Islam: Encyclopedia - Islamism

Islamism refers to a set of political ideologies derived from various religious views of Muslim fundamentalists, which hold that Islam is not only a religion, but also a political system that should govern the legal, economic and social imperatives of the state. Islamist movements seek to re-shape the state by implementing a conservative formulation of Sharia. [1] Islamists regard themselves as Muslims rather than Islamists, while moderate Muslims and liberal movements within Islam reject this notion. Some perceive Islamists as Triump ...

History of Islam: Encyclopedia II - Islamism - History

Although Islamic states based on Shari'a law have existed since the earliest days of Islam, Islamism refers to modern movements that developed during the twentieth century in reaction to several forces. Following World War I, the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, and the subsequent dissolution of the Caliphate by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (founder of Turkey), some Muslims perceived that Islam was in retreat, and felt that Western ideas were spreading throughout Muslim society, along with the influence of Western nations. During the 1960 ...

History of Islam: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Islam - History

Many criticisms of the central beliefs in Islam predate the codification of Islam itself. For instance, recorded criticism of a belief in a supernatural omnipotent creator dates at least as far back as the writings of ancient Greek philosophers such as Epicurus. Like their Christian counterparts, medieval Islamic scholars worked to reconcile or argue against such views. The earliest records of criticism of Islam are found in early Islamic writings about criticism from their pagan Arabian adversaries and the Jewish inhabitants of south ...
