Some raised Hussein's son Ali as caliph. Through fraud, Yazid destroyed Hussein's camp. Hussein, who planned to fulfill Muawiyah's peaceful call, was murdered. In the field of Karbala, Hussein was beheaded. His head was brought to Damascus. Abdullah son of Zubair also did not recognize the caliphate of Yazid. Abdullah is based in Mecca.

This is the period of Islamic rule under the Umayah Family. The historians point to this power beginning in 40 Hijr or 661 AD. The founder of this dynasty was Muawiyah son of Abu Sofyan. Abu Sofyan is the leader of Mecca who opposed the Prophet. He converted to Islam after the city of Mecca conquered by Islamic forces from Medina. Muawiyah was originally the Syrian governor based in Damascus. He rebelled on the Caliph Ali ibn Abu Talib, until Ali died killed Khawarij people. Followers of Ali then appoint Hasan Ali-as the new caliph. However Hasan, who does not want a conflict, then has a peace agreement with Muawiyah. So, Muawiyah become the sole ruler of the Muslim community back then. Muawiyah moved the state capital from Madinah to Damascus. He also changed government system. Until the time of Ali, the state leader acted as a person ordinary. Stay in a modest house, become a mosque imam, and meet the needs alone as usual. Muawiyah imitated the royal system for himself. He...

Utsman bin Affan died. The Medina and the three troops from Egypt, Basrah and Kaufah agreed to choose Ali bin Abu Thalib as the new Caliph. According to his history, Ali had denied the appointment. But all are urgent to lead the people. Ali's inauguration was held at the mosque of Nabawi. Ali was one of the closest friends to the Apostle. As a child, Muhammad was raised by Abu Talib-his uncle who was also Ali's father. After marrying and seeing Abu Talib living in need, Muhammad kept Ali at his home. Ali and Zaid bin Harithah - the adoptive son of Muhammad - were the first to convert to Islam, after Khadijah. They always pray in congregation. Intelligence and courage as very prominent in the Quraysh. As children, he has challenged the leaders of Quraysh were booed Muhammad. When Muhammad and the Quraysh emigrants have a sword to kill him, Ali slept in the bed of Muhammad wearing a coat and used the Apostle. On the battlefield, he is a highly respected fighter....

By the time of his death, Umar bin Khattab said. For three days, the imam of the mosque should be handed over to Suhaib Al-Rumi. On the fourth day, however, a successor has been chosen. Umar gave six names. They are Ali ibn Abu Talib, Utsman ibn Affan, Zubair bin Awwam, Saad bin Abi Waqas, Abdurrahman bin Auff and Thalhah son Ubaidillah. The six men gathered. Abdurrahman bin Auff started the conversation by saying who he was among those who were willing to resign. He then declared himself back from the nomination. Three others followed. Stay Utsman and Ali. Abdurrahman was appointed to be the decider. He then met a lot of people asking for their opinions. But the public opinion was split. Imar the son of Yasir proposed Ali. So did Mikdad. While Abdullah son of Abu Sarah campaigned hard for Utsman. Abdullah used to convert to Islam, then turned back to kafir again and sentenced to death by the Prophet.

In the last days of his life, Caliph Abu Bakr was busy on asking many people. "What do you think of Umar?" Almost everyone calls Umar a hard man, but his soul is very good. After that, Abu Bakr asked Usman bin Affan to write down the will that his successor would be Umar. It seems that Abu Bakr is worried that Muslims will argue if he does not write the will. In the year 13 Hijriah or 634 AD, Abu Bakr died and Umar became khalifah. If people refer to Abu Bakr as "Khalifatur-Rasul", they now call Umar "Amir al-mu'minin" (Leader of the Believers). Umar converted to Islam around the year 6 Hijriah. At that time, he intended to kill Muhammad but was touched when he heard his younger brother, Fatima, chanting the verses of the Quran.

Muhammad died without a message of who should replace him as leader of the people . Some relatives of the Apostle argue that Ali ibn Abu Talib - the son and daughter-in-law whom Muhammad maintained since childhood-most deserved. But some of the Ansar, the natives of Madinah, gathered at the Saqifa Hall of Bani Saudah. They will appoint Saad bin Ubadah as leader of the people. Tension occurs. Abu Bakr, Umar and Abu Ubaidah came to remind them. The debate occurred, until two figures of Muhajirin and Ansar -Abu Ubaidah and Basyir's son Saad-bait Abu Bakr. Umar followed suit. Similarly, others. The dispute is over. Tuesday evening before the Isha prayer-after Muhammed was buried-Abu Bakr went up to the pulpit in the Nabawi mosque. He pronounced his first speech as caliph. Brief and memorable speech among the people. It happened in June 632, or 11 Hijri.
