Speading Early Islam

Islam started in 590 in the Arabian peninsula, by the last prophet of God (Allah) Muhammad. At first, in the city of Mekka, Muhammad and his followers were persecuted and out-casted. But Islam is a religion that calls for brotherhood, and so followers stayed with Muhammad, to whom they had professed their faith to. This true brotherhood attracted believers already inside the walls of Mekka. Muhammad and his followers first started to spread to the states, peoples, and nomads on the boarders of Mekka. After preaching, and teaching inside Mekka, Muhammad had enough followers or rather believers to start an army and begin to conquest to different areas around the Arabian peninsula

Islam spread all around, through the nomads, to the East, in the Arabian Peninsula. They traded with these nomads on their way to Asia. To the West, to the Western African empires in Timbuktu, Muhammad and his followers started a Muslim University. This happened

Under the new Islamic powers there were ranks of society set in Spain. The first class was the Muslim rulers, who were Berbers at that time. The second class was the converted people of Spain. Third, in rank were the Spaniards who were Christians who had only adopted the customs of Islam but not converted. Fourthly, there were the Jews who had been protected. And lastly, were all the christians who dreamt and eventually carried out an uprising that was only completely successful 700 years later.

The fourth pillar was fasting, though this might not have been very attractive, this brought faithful peoples closer to their ancestors. The Muslims did this for one month. This was to remember that life is more important than bread is. During the beginning of Islam, the faithful peoples did not eat for one month while in the desert, this is done to remember them. There is a reason to believe in the ancestors of Islam. In other religions that were in Spain, there are stories of ancestor, but no way to relate to them as the Muslims did.

The appeal to the Spaniards was carried on by the Islamic cultural expansion. Such as the expanding of urban centers of the Islamic world to almost “cross fertilize” with Arab, Jewish, and Persian traditions. This helped Muslims to advance their legal, political, and, scientific thoughts. Greek philosophers were translated into Arabic. “Greek philosophy and science began to infiltrate into Islam”. This was essentially a renaissance of Platonic and Aristotelian studies in the Arab world. Islamic lawyers developed a law system at this time. Scholars develop natural sciences, mathematics, and astronomy. As well, there was public plumbing, street lights, and in the city of Cordoba, 3000 Mosques, and 300 Hamams (Bath houses). This was at the peak of a Christian- Islamic alliance in Spain.
