ISLAM
The 4 Caliphs
Muhammad was succeeded by the four “rightly-guided” Caliphs (khalifa or successor in Arabic): Abu Bakr (632–34 C.E.), Umar (634–44 C.E.), Uthman (644–56 C.E.), and Ali (656–661 C.E.).
661 C.E.: The final caliph, Ali, was married to Fatima, Muhammad’s daughter, and, afterward, he was murdered.
The death of Ali is a very important event; his followers, who believed that he should have succeeded Muhammad directly, became known as the Shia.

According to some traditions, they were ‘the perfect caliphs’. But the reality is that there were lots of fights over who was to succeed Muhammad.

Muhammad
-
Muhammad was born in Mecca, and his early life was unremarkable. He married a wealthy widow named Khadija who was 15 years older and his employer.
Muhammad had his first religious experience, where he was instructed to recite by the Angel Gabriel. After a period of introspection and self-doubt, Muhammad accepted his role as God’s prophet and began to preach the word of the one God.
Muhammad and his followers fled Mecca for the city of Yathrib, which is known as Medina today, where his community was welcomed. This event is known as the Hijra or emigration.
A series of battles were fought between the Meccans and Muhammad and the new Muslim community. Eventually, Muhammad was victorious and reentered Mecca in 630.
