5WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ISLAM?
It is the fastest growing religion in the
world. In 1997, the percentage of humans who
regarded themselves as Christian rose only from
33.7 in 1970 to 33.9 in 1996. Its total number
of adherents is growing at about 2.3 annually.
Islam is currently spreading at a faster rate
about 3.9 and is thus increasing its market
share. Populations in mostly Christian countries
are remaining level and, in some cases,
declining. Consequently, the percentage of
Christians in the world is predicted to be at
approximately 25 of the world's population by
2025. As a result of the extremely high rates
of population growth in their major nations, the
proportion of Muslims in the world continues to
increase dramatically. Islam will probably
account for about 30 of the world's population
by 2025.

42SunniShia Split
- In the interest of peace, the majority of
- Muslims accepted the Umayyads rule.
- A minority did continue to resist, and around
some of these groups an alternate view of the
office of caliph developed. - In this view, the caliphthe person most
responsible for spreading Muhammads
messageneeded to be a relative of the Prophet.
43SunniShia Split
- This group was called Shia, meaning the party
of Ali. - Those who did not outwardly resist the rule of
the Umayyads later became known as Sunni, meaning
followers of Muhammads example. - Another group, the Sufi (SOOfee), reacted to the
luxurious life of the Umayyads by pursuing a life
of poverty and devotion to a spiritual path.
44The Sufi
- They tried to achieve direct personal contact
with God through mystical means, such as
meditation and chanting. - In some ways they were similar to Christian and
Buddhist monks. - The Sufis played an important role in keeping
Muslims focused on the Quran and tradition.
45The Sufi
- Later, they became very active as missionaries in
newly conquered lands. - Another religious development was the growth of
scholarship in various branches of Islamic
learning and law. - The study of the traditions of Muhammad, Arabic
language, and the development of schools of
sharia established standards of Islamic conduct.

The Umayyads
6. What led to the downfall of the Umayyads?
The division of Islam into Sunni, Shia, and Sufi
branches. The Sunni and Shia had different

Muhammads daughter Fatima, ruled in North Africa
and spread across the Red Sea to western Arabia

56Muslim Trade Network
CH 10, Sec. 2 The Spread of Islam Packet,
p. 9 Textbook, p. 241
- To encourage the flow of trade, Muslim
moneychangers set up banks in cities throughout
the empire. - Banks offered letters of credit, called sakks, to
merchants. - A merchant with a sakk from a bank in Baghdad
could exchange it for cash at a bank in any other
major city in the empire. - In Europe, the word sakk was pronounced, check.
Thus, the practice of using checks dates back to
the Muslim Empire.

- 2. Medicine, math, and science
- Arabic numerals, the importance of zero (10
digits) - Developed algebra, trigonometry in astronomy
Al-Kwarazini
(Mohammad bin Musa Al-Khawarizmi)
was perhaps one of the
greatest mathematicians who ever lived.
He was the founder of
several branches of mathematics. He not
only initiated the
subject of algebra in a systematic form but he
also developed
it to the extent of giving analytical solutions
of linear and
quadratic equations, which established him as
the founder
of Algebra. The very name Algebra has been
derived from
his famous book Al-Jabr wa-al-Mfuqabilah. His
arithmetic
synthesized Greek and Hindu knowledge and
contained his
own contributions to mathematics and science. He
explained the
use of zero, a numeral of fundamental importance
developed by the Arabs. Similarly, he developed
the decimal system so that the overall system of
numerals 'algorithm' or 'algorizm' is named after
him. In addition to introducing the Indian system
of numerals (now generally known as Arabic
numerals), he developed at length several
arithmetical procedures, including operations on
fractions. It was through his work that the
system of numerals was first introduced to Arabs
and later to Europe, through its translations in
European languages. He developed in detail
trigonometric tables containing the sine
functions.

constellation charts - The astrolabe
The Astrolabe played a pivotal role in
history. The astrolabe was highly developed in
the Islamic world by 800 and was introduced to
Europe from Islamic Spain (Andalusia) in the
early 12th century. It was the most popular
astronomical instrument until about 1650, when it
was replaced by more specialized and accurate
instruments. It is doubtful the European
explorers could have ever launched the great Age
of Discovery without this device. Astrolabes
are still appreciated for their unique
capabilites and their value for astronomy
education. See Textbook, p. 245

Alhazen wrote The Book of Optics (Kitab
al-Manazir), probably the most thoroughly
scientific in method of all medieval works. In
it, Alhazen developed a broad theory that
explained vision by using geometry and anatomy.
He rejected the theory of Euclid and Ptolemy that
vision results from a ray leaving the eye and
reaching the object. Instead he postulated,
correctly, that each point on a lighted area or
object radiates light rays in every direction,
but only one ray from each point strikes the eye
perpendicularly, "and is transmitted there by the
transparent body the lens." So profound and
seminal was this explanation that it led George
Sarton to call Alhazen "the greatest Muslim
physicist and one the greatest students of optics
of all time."
Alhazen 965-1040

Why is it that so many ancient Greek texts
survive only in Arabic translations? How did the
Arabs, who had no direct contact with the
science and learning of Classical Greece, come to
be the inheritors of the classical tradition?
The answer appears to be the Umayyad dynasty
located in Damascus. They had an interest in
things Greek, employed educated Greek- speaking
civil servants extensively, and sought to
preserve Greek science.

- 3. Philosophy and History
- Translated the works of Greek philosophers into
Arabic. - Ibn Khaldun wrote a study of World History.
Ibn Khaldun's chief contribution lies in
philosophy of history and sociology. He wrote
the first world history aimed at an analysis of
historical events. This volume, commonly known
as Muqaddimah or 'Prolegomena', was based on Ibn
Khaldun's unique approach and became a
masterpiece in literature on philosophy of
history and sociology. The chief concern of this
monumental work was to identify psychological,
economic, environmental and social facts that
contribute to the advancement of human
civilization and the currents of history. He
analyzed the dynamics of group relationships and
showed how group-feelings, al-'Asabiyya, give
rise to the ascent of a new civilization and
political power and how, later on, its diffusion
into a more general civilization invites the
advent of a still new 'Asabiyya in its pristine
form. He identified an
almost rhythmic repetition of rise and fall in
human civilization, and
analyzed factors contributing to it. His
contribution to history is marked by the
fact that, unlike most earlier
writers interpreting history largely in a
political context, he
emphasized environmental, sociological,
psychological and economic
factors governing the apparent events. This
revolutionized the science of history
and also laid the foundation of
Umraniyat (Sociology).
Ibn Khaldun 1332-1395
