1. THE TRIBE

For hundreds of years before Islam, the tribe was the most important political

organisation across Arabia. Within this system, everybody knew their rights and duties

and these were looked after by the Sheikh, who was chosen by the people. Bravery and

personal honour were highly valued, as was Bedouin hospitality to guests and strangers.

Since there were no such things as police, courts or judges, the only protection from

enemies was through the tribe, so the tribe remained very important.

3. TRADE & CAMELS

Mecca became rich because it was at the centre of a trade route that linked East and West. This

linked the Far East and India with Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Persia and Europe. So Mecca

became very rich and very important. Their caravans travelled in summer to Syria and in winter to

Yemen.

Petra in Jordan also became rich from trading, and its leaders, the Nabateans, became famous for

building houses into the sandstone cliffs. Eventually Petra was taken over by the Romans. Before

this, though, the Nabateans did a lot of trading with the Pharaohs in Ancient Egypt.

The trade in spices, timber (wood), leather and food were all important. But the most important

item that made the most money was frankincense. This came from a special tree in Yemen and was

very expensive.

Many of the Arabs before Islam were nomads and depended on grazing goats and sheep. But the

most important animal for these Bedouin people was the camel.

armies of the prophet captured Mecca from the Quaresh.

By then, Islam had spread across most of the rest of Arabia, Oman and the land that

was to become the UAE, that was ruled by 2 brothers, Jaifar and Abd bin Julanda

The letters were carried by a friend of the Prophet called Amer bin Al Aas.

The letters welcomed the brothers to Islam.

The Rashidun Caliphs and their Achievements

Introduction to the Rashidun Caliphs

After the death of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in 8H (AD632), four

Rashidun Caliphs led Islam for the next 30 years. They were called Abu-

Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. They are also called the "Rightly Guided"

Caliphs because each of them had known the prophet personally. They

had been his close friends during the early years of Islam in Medina and

Mecca. The Rashidun Caliphate lasted until 40H (AD661), when there

was a civil war.

Caliph Abu-Bakr

After the Prophet died, people needed a leader they could trust.

Abu-Bakr was a loyal companion of the Prophet, and so he was

chosen. He was known to have a very honest character. But he

was only in charge for 2 years before he died. It was Abu-Bakr who

chose the word Caliph. He wanted to use a different name from

the one used by the prophet. Caliph means successor or follower

(in Arabic: khalifa). The whole of Arabia was taken over by Islam

during his time as caliph.

Caliph Umar

Umar was the next caliph. He was said to be strict but fair. Umar ruled for 10 years from

10-20H (634-644AD). During this time, Islam spread very quickly out of Arabia. In

particular, his armies took control of Egypt and Persia. His greatest victory was against

the Persians at the Battle of Qadisiya. This battle went on for three days, and there are

many stories about it. The most famous one is how brave the soldiers were when they

killed the elephants that the Persians used like tanks. Umar set up 4 new army towns to

control the new empire. These were built at Basra, Fustat, Kufa and Damascus. Umar's

reign came to an end when a slave murdered him.

4 To be able to list the figures of the Rashidun Caliphate in chronological order

Caliph Uthman

Uthman was the next Rashidun caliph

and he was in charge for 12 years from

644AD. . He came from a rich Umayyad

merchant family of Mecca. This caused

arguments between the different parts

of the empire (the 4 army towns)

because some of them did not like the

rich families of Mecca. Many wanted Ali

to be caliph. Ali was the nephew of the

prophet. The most important

achievement of Uthman was having an

official version of the Quran written

down, from the original Abu-Bakr one.

In 656, some soldiers from Fustat killed

Uthman while he was at Medina.

Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib

The last Rashidun caliph was Ali who was

married to Mohammad's youngest

daughter Fatimah. Ali is considered the

first male convert to Islam and ruled for 5

years from 35H (656AD). Ali was a wise

leader who wrote many speeches and

proverbs. He was killed while praying in

the Great Mosque of Kufa in Iraq. But

there were big arguments at the time and

many Umayyads blamed Ali for the death

of Uthman. After his death, the army

towns at Damascus and Basra were

strongly against Ali, but Fustat and Kufa

were strongly with him. So in 40H

(661AD), there was a civil war.

THE RIDDA WARS AD. 632-34

1. After the Hijri in AD622, many Arab tribes had joined Islam and followed the Prophet.

2. When the Prophet died in June 632, some refused to obey the new Caliph, Abu-Bakr.

3. In particular, they refused to pay the zakat to his government in Medina.

4. As a result, Abu-Bakr sent out ambassadors and when this did not work, war started.

5. This is called the Ridda Wars.

6. The first campaign of the Ridda Wars took place in the summer of 632. Armies were

sent to fight against tribes in Yemen, Oman, Bahrain and northern Saudi Arabia.

7. But when this was happening, other tribes attacked Medina. Abu-Bakr won this battle.

8. At this stage, Abu Bakr organised the Muslim army into different units.

9. A genius army general called Khalid ibn Walid was put in charge of the biggest unit.

10. This was sent to fight against the leader of the rebels, Musaylima.

11. With an army of 13,000 men, Khalid bin Walid beat the rebels in the Battle of Yamamah.

12. After the battle Khalid ibn Walid came to be known in Islam as the ‘Sword of God’.

13. This victory secured control of central Arabia for Abu-Bakr and for Islam.

14. But the fight also cost the lives of many Ansari, followers of the prophet who had

known him personally.

15. So the Ridda War also had one other very important consequence.

16. For those who came after Ansari, and did not know the prophet, Abu-Bakr arranged

for the Holy Koran to be written down.




5

THE END of the RIDDA WARS: The BATTLE of DIBBA

Over the next year, the armies of Islam pushed eastwards towards Oman over the top of the Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter).

1. This is when the armies came to the land that would

become the UAE.

2. One of the last battles in the Ridda Wars was at Dibba in Fujeirah.

3. This came after the Prophet has sent letters to the 2 brothers, Abd and Jaffar ibn

Julanda, the kings of Oman, in 629 that had led to them becoming Muslims.

4. This is where the armies of Abu-Bakr, supported by the 2 brothers, defeated the

last Persian armies of the non-believers. This ended the Ridda War.

5. It was said in local records that 10,000 were killed at the Battle of Dibba.

There are 2 stages (parts) to the modern and contemporary history of the Arabian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula.

In the Gulf region, this relation with Britain lasted until the 1960s.In the Near East (Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Jordon), Britain and France split up the Arab World in 1916 with the Sykes-Picot Agreement, after the end of World War I when the Ottomans lost with Germany. In the 20th century, the people of the Arab World often made trade agreements with the colonists and money was made, especially through pearling, oil and renting out their countries for aviation. For example, the rulers of Dubai were paid for boat-planes to land on the Dubai Creek. Colonial times:

1500 - 1950s

European Voyages of Exploration. Portugal, Spain, France & Britain explored the world, colonising countries as they went.. This led to world trade routes making Europe very rich.

Industrial Revolution. The British traders came through the Arabian Gulf (linking Iraq with India) and fought the Qasimi’s in RAK in 1809 and 1819, to keep the trade routes safe.

Trucial States. The British traders came through the Arabian Gulf (linking Iraq with India) and fought the Qasimis in RAK in 1809 and 1819, to keep the trade routes safe.. The 1853 Truce between the Shiekhdoms and Britain lasted until independence.

Trade & pearling. Trade grew in the Gulf and Dubai as steam ships came to Dubai. The pearl trade brought wealth to the area until the 1930s.

In the Gulf region, this relation with Britain lasted until the 1960s.

In the 20th century, the people of the Arab World often made trade agreements with the colonists and money was made, especially through pearling, oil and renting out their countries for aviation. For example, the rulers of Dubai were paid for boat-planes to land on the Dubai Creek.

Across Arabia after WWI. In the Near East (Iraq, Syria,

Palestine and Jordon), Britain and France split up the Arab World in

Diversification 2000+. The increased economic activity, caused by the oil boom, allowed diversification in industry. . This is driven by wise leadership, and leads to modern and clever ideas. . The Arab countries of the Arabian Peninsula are now world leaders in banking, property ownership, aviation, technology, space travel and many other areas. . This includes home ownership, tourism and hotels, sporting events, free zones, . This has made the region, and the UAE in particular, famous around the world.

Arab Nationalism 1950s/60s. This is the time of Arab nationalism and freedom movements, when the Founders, in various countries, came together to build new countries for the Arab people. . The first independent Arab countries came earlier, after World War I, and included Saudi Arabia and Egypt. . In 1968, the 2 most important founders of the UAE, Sheikh Rashid and Sheikh Zayed, sat down together to plan for UAE Etihad. . Their meeting was attended by the 18-year-old Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.. In 2018, Sheikh Mohammed completed 50 years of service to the UAE.. Most of the Arabian Peninsula countries became formed in the 1970s

Etihad 1970s

. After Etihad, economic and social development has been very quick in some Arab countries

like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. . But it has not been so quick in other less rich and

less well-governed countries. . This was often based on the oil and gas industry.

Prosperity and growth 1980s/90s

. Wise leaders, like the 7 Founders of the UAE, used this new money to build a new

infrastructure across the Arabian Peninsula, that made the region and their

countries richer and more successful. . This infrastructure included houses,
