AFTER MUHAMMAD’S DEATHSuccessors became known as caliphs. The first was Abu Bakr, an early convert and close companion to Muhammad

Through conquest, the caliphate rapidly expanded

Some had not wanted Abu Bakr to become caliph, they wanted Ali, who was a cousin of Muhammad’s

Later, Uthman from a tribe known as the Umayyads became caliph and a civil war broke out between those who supported him, and those who wanted Ali to lead. Ali was killed in the process

Those who accepted the Umayyads’ leader became known as Sunnis

Followers of Ali became known as Shia (caliph should be descendent of Muhammad)

Sufis also developed who seek a more mystical and personal connection with God
