It has an arid climate that makes it difficult for life, especially plants, to survive, and what little water is there is found primarily in oases, wet and fertile places in the desert. Most of the land is covered by sand dunes (mounds of sand shaped by winds). Nomadic peoples moved from oasis to oasis, and sedentary peoples settled in one oasis. Of all the cities built by these sedentary peoples, Mecca was the largest and richest, also housing the sacred Ka' Bah. The Ka' Bah is a sacred place holding the stone given to Abraham by God, and several other Islamic gods' idols.]]> 2017-09-29 16:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1039929/if44f341qyj2/wish/192517762 After Muhammad's Death- The First Four Caliphs 1039929 https://padlet.com/1039929/if44f341qyj2/wish/192624340 Abu Bakr: Muhammad's father-in-law, chosen by a group of Muhammad's advisors. His rule ended because of his death. 
Umar: Muhammad's long-time friend and advisor. Before he died, Abu Bakr named Umar as his successor, and his reign also ended because of his untimely death.
'Uthman: Another one of Muhammad's long-time friends and his advisor. He was chosen by Umar's chosen council, as he died before naming a successor. Murdered by angry citizens in an Egypt province, his time as caliph also drew to an end.
Ali: Cousin and son-in-law to Muhammad, Ali was elected caliph as a natural choice because he was Muhammad's blood-relative. Assassinated by a former supporter, his place as leader thus ended.]]> 2017-09-29 22:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/1039929/if44f341qyj2/wish/192624340 The First Four Caliphs 1039929 https://padlet.com/1039929/if44f341qyj2/wish/192625309 These are the first four caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar, 'Uthman, and Ali. ]]> 2017-09-29 22:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1039929/if44f341qyj2/wish/192625309 Rise and Fall of the Umayyad Caliphate 1039929 https://padlet.com/1039929/if44f341qyj2/wish/193907461 Important Dates: 662-the Umayyad Caliphate begins.
