was faced with the problem of succession.\u00a0 Who would be its leader? \u00a0There were four persons obviously marked for leadership: Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, who had not only accompanied Muhammad to Medina ten years before, but had been appointed to take the place of the Prophet as leader of public prayer during Muhammad\u2019s last illness; Umar ibn al-Khattab, an able and trusted Companion of the Prophet; Uthman ibn \u2018Affan, a respected early convert; and \u2018Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad\u2019s cousin and son-in-law.\u00a0 There piousness and ability to govern the affairs of the Islamic nation was uniformly par excellence.\u00a0 At a meeting held to decide the new leadership, Umar grasped Abu Bakr\u2019s hand and gave his allegiance to him, the traditional sign of recognition of a new leader.\u00a0 By dusk, everyone concurred, and Abu Bakr had been recognized as the khaleefah of Muhammad.\u00a0 Khaleefah &#8211; anglicized as caliph &#8211; is a word meaning \u201csuccessor\u201d, but also suggesting what his historical role would be: to govern according to the Quran and the practice of the Prophet.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Abu Bakr\u2019s caliphate  was short, but important.\u00a0 An exemplary leader, he lived simply, assiduously fulfilled his religious obligations, and was accessible and sympathetic to his people.\u00a0 But he  also stood firm when some tribes, who had only nominally accepted Islam,  renounced it in the wake of the Prophet\u2019s death.\u00a0 In what was a major accomplishment,  Abu Bakr swiftly disciplined them.\u00a0 Later, he consolidated the support of  the tribes within the Arabian Peninsula and subsequently funneled their  energies against the powerful empires of the East: the Sassanians in Persia and  the Byzantines in Syria, Palestine, and Egypt.\u00a0 In short, he  demonstrated the viability of the Muslim state.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The second caliph,  Umar &#8211; appointed by Abu Bakr &#8211; continued to demonstrate that viability.\u00a0 Adopting the title Ameer  al-Mumineen, or Commander of the Believers, Umar extended Islam\u2019s temporal rule over  Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Persia in what, from a purely military  standpoint, were astonishing victories.\u00a0 Within four years after the death of the Prophet, the Muslim  state had extended its sway over all of Syria and had, at a famous battle  fought during a sandstorm near the River Yarmuk, blunted the power of the  Byzantines &#8211; whose ruler, Heraclius, had shortly before refused the call to accept  Islam.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Even more  astonishingly, the Muslim state administered the conquered territories with a tolerance almost unheard of in that  age.\u00a0 At Damascus, for example, the Muslim leader, Khalid ibn al-Walid,  signed a treaty which read as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 19.85pt; text-indent: 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This is what Khalid ibn al-Walid would grant to the inhabitants of Damascus if he enters therein: he promises to give them security for their lives, property and churches.\u00a0 Their city wall shall not be demolished; neither shall any Muslim be quartered in their houses.\u00a0 Thereunto we give them the pact of God and the protection of His Prophet, the caliphs and the believers.\u00a0 So long as they pay the poll tax, nothing but good shall befall them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This tolerance was typical of Islam.\u00a0 A year after Yarmook, Umar, in the military camp of al-Jabiyah on the Golan Heights, received word that the Byzantines were ready to surrender Jerusalem.\u00a0 Consequently, \u00a0he rode there to accept the surrender in person.\u00a0 According to one account, he entered the city alone and clad in a simple cloak, astounding a populace accustomed to the sumptuous garb and court ceremonials of the Byzantines and Persians.\u00a0 He astounded them still further when he set their fears at rest by negotiating a generous treaty in which he told them: \u201cIn the name of God &#8230;\u00a0 you have complete security for your churches, which shall not be occupied by the Muslims or destroyed.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This policy was to  prove successful everywhere.\u00a0 In Syria, for example, many Christians who  had been involved in bitter theological disputes with Byzantine authorities &#8211; and persecuted for it &#8211; welcomed the coming  of Islam as an end to tyranny.\u00a0 And in Egypt, which Amr ibn al-As took from  the Byzantines after a daring march across the Sinai Peninsula, the Coptic Christians not only welcomed the Arabs, but enthusiastically assisted  them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This pattern was  repeated throughout the Byzantine Empire.\u00a0 Conflict among Greek  Orthodox, Syrian Monophysites, Copts, and Nestorian Christians contributed to the failure of the Byzantines &#8211; always  regarded as intruders &#8211; to develop popular support, while the tolerance which  Muslims showed toward Christians and Jews removed the primary cause for opposing  them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Umar adopted this  attitude in administrative matters as well.\u00a0 Although he assigned Muslim governors to the new provinces,  existing Byzantine and Persian administrations were retained wherever possible.\u00a0  For fifty years, in fact, Greek remained the chancery language of Syria,  Egypt, and Palestine, while Pahlavi, the chancery language of the  Sassanians, continued to be used in Mesopotamia and Persia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Umar, who served as caliph for ten years, ended his rule with a significant victory over the Persian Empire.\u00a0 The struggle with the Sassanid realm had opened in 636 at al-Qadisiyah, near Ctesiphon in Iraq, where Muslim cavalry had successfully coped with elephants used by the Persians as a kind of primitive tank.\u00a0 Now with the Battle of Nihavand, called the \u201cConquest of Conquests,\u201d Umar sealed the fate of Persia; henceforth it was to be one of the most important provinces in the Muslim Empire.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">His caliphate was a high point in early Islamic history.\u00a0 He was noted for his justice, social ideals, administration, and statesmanship.\u00a0 His innovations left an all enduring imprint on social
