Question

Give a summary of the history of Islam, from Muhammad's visions to the Ottoman Empire. 100 points!!

Answer 1

Prophet muhammad (صلاله عليه وسلام) had a vision of the ottoman empire being conquered by the muslims .There is even a Hadith in which the Prophet (PBUH) prophesied the Atraq, who in Arabic; were the Turks. And at first, when the Mongols had come to power, some scholars of Islam thought that they were the ones who were prophesied. However, the proofs did not add up at all. Then, when the Ottoman Turks came to rule the power, the whole of the Islamic scholars came to the conclusion that they were the ones mentioned in the Hadiths: “The Turks will ride to the inner side of the Arabian Peninsula” and he also said that; “The Turks will be the first nation whom will take the Caliphate from the hands of his Ummah.” This means that, they were nominated a solid candidate among the Muslim peoples for the Muslim Caliphate by the Holy prophet. Also, the Prophet too mentioned once; “Do not fight the Turks, for whoever fights the Turks will lose”.

And of course there is also the famous Hadith: "Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will he be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!" and "The first army that goes on expedition to Constantinople will be forgiven." And so the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) himself had praised the Turks, and on many occasions, had prophesied their great empires that were to come.

Answer 2

The expansion of the Arab Empire in the years following the Prophet Muhammad’s death led to the creation of caliphates occupying a vast geographical area. Conversion to Islam was boosted by missionary activities, particularly those of Imams, who easily intermingled with local populace to propagate religious teachings. These early caliphates, coupled with Muslim economics and trading and the later expansion of the Ottoman Empire, resulted in Islam’s spread outwards from Mecca towards both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and the creation of the Muslim world. Trading played an important role in the spread of Islam in several parts of the world, notably southeast Asia.
