Early Muslims
Most historians would agree with the statement that the early Muslims were successful, but very few would agree with each other about what it means to be successful or the classification of the "early Muslims." Before attempting to answer the broad topic of why and to what extent the early Muslims were successful, one needs to define the terms "success" and "early Muslims." In the context of this paper, the early Muslims are defined as those that became Muslims during the first century since the birth of Islam. This century begins in 613 when Muhammad received the call, “Rise and Warn" and it includes the early Islamic conquests. Although success can be measured in many ways, in the context of this paper it will be defined in terms of these components: Initial military conquests, the ability to maintain the support of the conquered population, and the ability of the early Muslims to bring prosperity and a sense of unity for the various parts of Arabia and conquered regions. Within these set definitions and boundaries, it can then be said that the early Muslims were successful due to their ability to conquer vast areas of land and maintain the support of the conquered for the specified period. Their success is limited though since
