Islam in the Classical Period

The development of classical Islam was marked by territorial expansion. While living in Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad and his followers were under pressure from the tribe of Quraish who oppose the teachings of which was brought by Prophet Muhammad SAW. Because of these pressures, the Prophet Muhammad was forced to send some of his followers into a religious Christian Abesinia Koptis to obtain asylum. That phase mecca that make the Prophet Muhammad in mecca survive on family support. After that, his wife Khadijah passed away and shortly afterwards the head of his tribe died who was then replaced by people who are not loyal and sympathetic to him.
 
In the analysis of historians, this classical period can be divided into two periods, the progress of Islam I and the disintegration. This period is a time of expansion, integration, and power of Islam. In terms of expansion, before the Prophet Muhammad died in 632 AD, the entire peninsula of arabia has been subject to under the rule of Islam. Expansion to areas outside Arabia began in the days of the first Caliph, Abu Bakr Ash-Siddiq.
