Early Islamic Empire Expansion

Between the years of 622 and 750 AD, the early Islamic Empire expanded rapidly, taking control of most of the Middle East. While the expansion of the Islamic empire has had a large impact in the present day, there are still many arguments on how the early Islamic Empire expanded. The following essay will prove that the early Islamic Empire expanded by defeating all enemies in their path and conquering all land possible. According to Document A, written by Ahmad al-Biladuri, a Muslim historian in the 800s CE, “The Muslims gathered together, and the Greek army marched against them… The battle they fought… was of the fiercest and bloodiest kind.” In this document, Ahmad al-Biladuri explains the fierce battle fought by the Muslims and Greeks.
