The Spread of Islam By: Lucy V.
-Islam combined spiritual and secular power uner one ruler. This helped unify the warring tribes of the area. Islam expanded during the centuries after the Prophet's death.
-Ummah became a community that spread from Africa to hte Indonesia.
-Muhammad's non-violent takeover of Mecca occurred only two years before he died. Whe he died, a newly converted Qurayshite, Khalid ibn al-Walid, commanded a series of campaigns that within seven had claimed the entire Arabian Peninsula and Syria for Islam.
Outreach and Education by Amy Ko
education in muslim countries now are really improving and expanding. they mostly lean toward their history and culture. but still there were some trouble feautres of texbooks such as inaccuracies and omissions of facts that lead to distorted interpretations of national history, insensitivity to the diversity of religions in the country, glorification of violence, encouragement of prejudices toward women, religios minorities and other countries, omission of material and perspectives for developing critical thinking, outdated teaching practices that fail to stimulate interest and insight.
Tradition and Modern Life by Clara Conde
Fasting during Ramadan is strictly enforced in Saudi Arabia and Iran, and restaurants in many Muslim countries close during the fasting hours. Muslim women have adopted hijab, covering their bodies except for hands, face, and feet. They have the right to get a divorce.
