When Muhammad died in A.D. 632 his father-in-law Abu Bakr became “caliph,” which means “successor.” Abu Bakr began the Riddah Wars, to keep breakaway tribes in the Islamic fold. The next caliph, Umar, extended military actions to Syria and Palestine. By 650, Muslims conquered Egypt and North Africa.
