Bellwork 10/23

Hello! The questions that we discussed in class are below: 
  
11.     In 630, Muhammad returned to Makkah with 10,000 men. What was his status at this important time?


2.      Why is it important for governments today to have clear lines of succession? Muhammad dies just two years after returning to Makkah. What might have happened in the Arab world after the death of Muhammad? 

For the answers that we discussed:


  1.  He was the messenger of Allah- the founder of Islam, he was a general who lead a strong army, and he was the head of church and state due to in Islam they mix politics and religion.
  2. A new leader would have been needed and there would have been a struggle for power. The interpretation of Islamic law could have changed. A division among the Islamic leaders could have caused a fracture that would cause the religion to disappear. 
Today we also went over how you have access to make-up work and how to access the textbook from class online.
