Back to the regularly scheduled program…After Muhammad’s death, there is confusion about his successor.
Abu Bakr (father-in-law) became the first Caliph
“If you worship Muhammad, Muhammad is dead. If you worship God, God is alive.”

The Big SplitShiite: Muhammad’s son-in-law, Ali, is the true successor. Descendents of Ali and Fatima are called Imams. They are divinely inspired leaders, like pastors.
Sunni: any male from the sunna, Muslim community, can be a caliph. About 90% of Muslims are Sunni.

How could they conquer so much?Weak empires: Byzantine empire and Persian empire
Fighting with camels and horses
