The Umayyad clan was initially opposed to Muhammad but later embraced Islam and became a powerful Muslim family. After Muhammad's death, the Umayyads led the majority Sunni Muslims while some broke away to form the Shiite minority who believed leadership should remain within Muhammad's family. The Umayyads rapidly conquered territories across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe until being halted at the Battle of Tours in 732. Their rule ended when the Abbasid family revolted in 750 and established their capital in Baghdad, moving the empire's center away from Syria.

Islam Today: DemographicsThere are an estimated 1.2 billion Muslims worldwideApproximately 1/5th of the world's population Growth without missionary effortsWhere Do Muslims Live?Only 18% of Muslims live in the Arab world 20% are found in Sub-Saharan Africa 30% in the South Asian region of Pakistan, India and BangladeshThe world's largest single Muslim community is in Indonesia The Top 9: 1) Indonesia, 2) Pakistan, 3) Bangladesh, 4) India, 5) Turkey, 6) Iran, 7) Egypt, 8) Nigeria, and 9) China
Two Main Braches of IslamThere are two main branches of Islam today
Sunni recognize the male heirs of the first 4 elected (according to Muhammad's instruction) caliphs (or spiritual heads) after Muhammad’s death
Shiite recognize the decedents of only the 4th caliphs—Ali (M’s son-in-law & cousin), the only true descendent of Muhammad
In all other ways Sunni and Shiite are very similar
African Civilizations
and the Spread of Islam
What is the geography of Africa?
How might this geography impact Africans?
African Regions
Pre-Islamic AfricaExtremely diverse societies developedPolitical unity was difficult because of terrainBantu: primary language spokenOral traditions; very few written recordsMost communities are preliterate (lacking writing system)Animistic and polytheistic religionsPower of natural forces; ritual and worshipDancing, drumming, divination, and sacrificeWitchcraft; cosmologyAncestors are called uponEconomies vary by regionN. Africa: Islamic trade routes and Mediterranean tradeSub-Saharan: agriculture; ironworking; tribes and herdersAfricans exchanged abundant raw materials (esp. salt) for manufactured goods
Geography of Africa
Africa’s geography was very diverse
& Africans were lived differently based on where
they lived

Geography of Africa
The Sahara is the world’s largest desert
& acted as a barrier to separate North Africa from sub-Saharan Africa
Early Societies of Africa
By 750, North Africans were part of the Islamic Empire, converted to Islam, & shared Arabic culture
Early societies of North Africa were influenced by Mediterranean cultures such as the Phoenicians & Romans
Early Societies of Africa
African societies south of the Sahara were isolated & missed out on the cultural diffusion of the Classical Era
Influence of Islam in Africa640-700: Muslims moved west from Arabia across N. Africa to spread IslamRapid conversions by Berbers (Saharan nomads)Spreads along pre-existing caravan routesMaghreb: NW Africa (W of Egypt); Islamized11th-12th centuries: Almoravids and Almohads (ultra-conservative Muslim Berbers) grow in powerReformers: launch jihad (war to spread and protect faith) against “lax” MuslimsAlmohads defeat Almoravids Almohad Caliphate: 1121-1269These groups are essential to the spread of Islam throughout Africa.Why is Islam attractive?Egalitarian; reinforced kings’ authority; equal footing politically/religiously/economica ...

3. • (657-750CE) Umayyad clan starts as a
foe to Muhammad. They are defeated at
Mecca by Muhammad’s forces but are
embraced by Muhammad and become a
powerful Muslim clan that will lead the
faith after Muhammad.
4. • After the first three caliphs, The
followers of Ali will split away from the
faith and form the Shiites (who think
caliphs should be related to
Muhammad) and the Umayyads will
lead the remaining vast majority of
Muslims (the Sunnis) who believe the
caliphs should be chosen from among
all Muslims. Umayyads will conquer
much of North Africa, the Middle East,
South Asia, and parts of Western
Europe (Spain) very rapidly. They will
be halted from taking more of western
Europe at the Battle of Tours in France
in 732CE.
5.
6. Inthebeginning…
• The Banu Umayya clan was named after Abd Shams ibn Abd Manaf's adopted son Umayya ibn
Abd Shams. Bani Umayyah had been enemies of the Bani Hashim since the time when Hashim
banished his half-brother, Umayya ibn Abd Shams, from Mecca.
7. Then…
• Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf (Islamic prophet Muhammad's paternal great-grandfather) and 'Abd
Shams ibn Abd Manaf were conjoined twins born with Hashim's leg attached to Abd Shams'
head. It was said that they had struggled in the womb seeking to be firstborn.
• Their birth was remembered for Hashim being born with one of his toes pressed into the
younger twin brother, Abd Shams's, forehead.
8. • Legend says that their father, 'Abd Manaf ibn Qusai, separated his conjoined sons with a sword and
that some priests believed that the blood that had flown between them signified wars between their
progeny (confrontations did occur between Abbasid Caliphate and Umayyad Caliphate in the year 750
AH).
9. TheClash
• The enmity and opposition between Bani Umayya and Bani Hashim began before the struggle for
rulership and authority had occurred between them and before Islam had gained predominance.
• The reasons for this included tribal party spirit, superiority complex, old grudge, desire for vengeance of
the murder of kinsmen, political views, personal sentiments, difference in ways of life and manner of
thinking.
10. • Bani Umayya and Bani Hashim were the chiefs of Mecca and held high offices even during the age
of ignorance. The chiefdom of Bani Hashim was spiritual, whereas that enjoyed by Bani Umayya was
political and they were also tradesmen and possessed enormous wealth.
11.

20. • The Umayyad Caliphate ended when the
Abbasid family usurped power in AD
750.
• In the 8th century, a succession of
relatively weak caliphs threatened the
Umayyad dynasty.
• The Abbasids moved into an open revolt
in AD 746.
• The last umayyad caliph, Marwan II
defeated.
• The first Abbasid caliph, Abu al-Abbas,
became caliph in 750 and moved the
capital to Baghdad.
21.
22.
23. • (750-1258 CE)Umayyad troops,
garrisoned on the frontier for
years at a time, were becoming
increasingly disgusted with the
lavish lifestyle of the Umayyad
caliphs.
• This led to more and more
revolts. Abu-al-Abbas led a
successful revolt starting around
Merv (Marw in Arabic), on the
frontier in Northern Iran (former
Sassanian Empire) after he, a
Sunni, allied himself with many
of the Shiites in the northeast of
the empire.
24. • After gaining power by
killing many Umayyad
family members (the
survivors will flee to
Spain) he betrays and
persecutes his Shiite
allies (since their core
belief is a bloodline
descent from
Muhammad being
required for all caliphs).
25.
26. •Named after Abu al-'Abbas‘
•Transformed to multinational Muslim empire.
•the capital of the empire removed from Syria to Iraq(Baghdad) surrounded by
round walls, near the site of the Sassanid village of city of Baghdad.
27. al-Mansur(the second caliph) continued the reorganization of the administration of the empire.
Most of the Abbasid administrations was selected from well-educated Persian civil servants, many of
whom came from families that had traditionally served the Sassanid kings. The important office of
wazir or vizier, chief counselor, may well have developed from Sassanid models.
development of the Umayyad postal system into an efficient intelligence service( postmasters in
outlying provinces were the eyes and ears of the government).
The developments in trade, indeed, are among the achievements of the. Baghdad became a vast
emporium of trade linking Asia and the Mediterranean.
28. In the 9th century, the Abbasids created an army(Mamluks).
This force, created in the reign of al-Ma'mun (813–42 to prevent the further disintegration of
the empire and provided the government with a stable force to address domestic and foreign
problems.
creation of this foreign army and al-Mu'tasim's transfer of the capital from Baghdad
to Samarra created a division between the caliphate and the peoples they claimed to rule.
The first Abbasid caliph of Cairo was Al-Mustansir and continued to maintain the presence of
authority, but it was confined to religious matters.
The Abbasid caliphate of Cairo lasted until the time of Al-Mutawakkil III
33. Baghdad's economy relied on taxes, and wealth generated by trade and
manufacturing.
The empire was rich in gold, silver, copper, and iron and used them in
trade.
Farmers grew dates, rice, and other grains.
In addition, the Abbasids introduced new breeds of livestock.
They also spread cotton.
34. Traders from Scandinavia to Africa came to Baghdad for the products of its
industries too.
Leather goods, textiles, paper, metalwork, and perfumes were sold in the
city.
The Abbasids developed something very similar to the banking system.
They did not have bank buildings but business people invested in long
distance trade and goods were bought on credit.
35. They also had a postal system.
Muslim rule unified the eastern world.
They introduced a uniform coinage system that made commerce easier.
End Of Sub-topic
38. • The dominant religion in the Abbasid Caliphate was Islam
but they accepted and respected other religions
• The connection between the social phase are really
important because they choose their leader.
39.
40. • Causes
• Rift with the Shia
• Abbasids found themselves at odds with
the Shia Muslims, most of whom had
supported their war against the
Umayyads, since the Abbasids and the
Shias claimed legitimacy by their familial
connection to Muhammad. Once in
power, the Abbasids embraced Sunni
Islam and disavowed any support for
Shi'a beliefs. Shortly thereafter, Berber
Kharijites set up an independent state in
North Africa in 801. Within 50 years the
Idrisids in the Maghreb and Aghlabids of
Ifriqiya and a little later the Tulunids and
Ikshidids of Misr were effectively
independent in Africa.
41. • Conflict of Army Generals
• The Abbasid authority began to
deteriorate during the reign of al-Radi
when their Turkic Army generals,
who already had de facto
independence, stopped paying the
Caliphate. Even provinces close to
Baghdad began to seek local dynastic
rule.
• Also, the Abbasids found themselves
to often be at conflict with the
Umayyads in Spain.
