Quran=recitation
As with Jesus, Muhammad never wrote down his thoughts—that was left to his disciples
Quran deals with secular and spiritual matters
It condemns drinking, gambling, eating pork, and immorality
Allows for men being more equal than women as with Christianity

Spread of Islam in just over a century
![Page 17: Islamic World](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062719/5681311d550346895d97872b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Expansion of Islam
Paralleled the expansion of Christianity.
Jihad=holy war and internal struggle over sin
There wasn’t much difference between holy wars from both Christianity and Islam
Conversion wasn’t so much forced as much as the advantageousness of being within Islam.

Factors slowing Islamic spread
• Constantinople and Greek fire
• Charles Martel (the Hammer) from Tours

Divisions within Islam
After Muhammad’s death several “denominations” developed within Islam:
• Sunni=the tradition of the Prophet (the orthodox 90% of Islam who believe in election from within the faith)
• Shiites=claim that they are descendents of Ali and only Shiites should be rulers
