		In 685–87 the Umayyads also faced the revolt organized in Kufa by al-Mukhtar on behalf of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya, a son of Ali by a concubine.

	Hisham III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hisham III (Arabic: هشام الثالث) was the last Umayyad ruler in Spain (1026-1031), and the last person to hold the title Caliph of Cordoba.
		Hisham III, the brother of Abd ar-Rahman IV, was chosen as Caliph after long negotiations between the governers of the border regions and the people of Cordoba.
		After the Caliphate fell with the overthrow of Hisham III in 1031, the Caliphate's land holdings — already much diminished from its height in power just 100 years past — devolved into a number of militarily weak but culturally advanced taifas.

	Muhammad and the Spread of Islam by Sanderson Beck
		Muhammad began traveling for merchants, and he wished to marry his cousin; but his uncle Abu Talib informed him that she was promised to a poet of better means.
		Muhammad became distressed when he did not have any more revelations for a while; but then he was told that the Lord would give to him and reminded him that as an orphan he was given refuge; when he went astray, he was guided; when he was poor, he was made rich.
		Muhammad asked him to draw off the enemy and gave him permission to lie, "for war is deception."4 Nu'aym told the Qurayza that their allies would abandon them to the Muslims after the battle, suggesting they ask for hostages.

		This was in contrast to the claims of the Shi'ah (the party of Muhammad's son-in-law, 'Ali) that the ruler must belong to the family of the Prophet and to the doctrine of the Sunnah (followers of the Prophet's way) that the head of state must belong to the Prophet's tribe, i.e., the Quraysh.
		Their leader, Elijah Muhammad, who claimed to be an inspired prophet, interpreted the doctrine of Resurrection in an unorthodox sense as the revival of oppressed ("dead") peoples.
		Muhammad was said to be "Prophet when Adam was still between water and clay." Muhammad is also described as light from light, and from his light all the prophets are created, constituting the different aspects of this light.

	Welcome to USC Muslim Students for Dialog
		Thus the practice of Muhammad, which came to be known as the Sunna, serves as an example and a source of guidance for Muslims alongside the Koran, especially for Sunnis.
		By the time of Muhammad the pure monotheism which, according to Muslim belief, had been instituted at Mecca by Abraham, had become corrupted by idolatry and polytheism, and it was the task of Muhammad to restore the pure religion and re-establish monotheistic worship at the Kaaba.
		Since the precise date of Muhammad's birth is not known, the month was probably chosen because it is the most widely accepted date for his death and a symmetry between birth and death was assumed.

	Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958
		There are thus two figures of Muhammad, the Muhammad of history and the Muhammad of faith, the historical preacher who lived and labored in seventh-century Arabia and the mythical figure of the Prophet which lives in the faith of his community.
		Once the preaching of Muhammad began to attract attention and the body of his followers to increase, there inevitably arose the need for some clear formulation of what this new religious teaching was and what was expected from converts who broke with the old paganism of their forefathers to follow it.
		Muhammad claimed to be restoring the religion of Abraham (VI, 161/162; III, 65/58 ff.; II, 124/118 ff.), yet his religion was clearly not that of the Jews or the Christians, who also claimed to be the spiritual children of Abraham.

	The Invisible Basilica: Mohammed
		Muhammad ibn Abdallah was born into the Bani Hashim branch of the powerful Quraysh tribe, which had historically ruled the pagan city of Mecca (Makkah).
		The Umayyads, the aristocratic branch of the Quraysh, refused to recognize Mohammed's authority, and he was forced to flee Mecca to the city of Yathrib (now called Madinat an-Nabi-Allah, the City of the Prophet of God, or "Madinah" for short) under threat of murder.
		As his followers were increasingly required to kill and die for the faith, his preachings took on an increasingly belligerent tone; he proclaimed that idolatry was worse than war, and that the quickest way to Paradise was to die for the Faith in battle.

		Admittedly it is difficult to be certain what an extended palm as it appears on a late copy may have meant, but in the earlier art of the Mediterranean or of the Near East this gesture is more commonly to be interpreted as pointing at something or as a sign of deference.
		The arguments can be further strengthened by the fact that the architecture of the Dome of the Rock is clearly in the tradition of the great Christian martyria and is closely related to the architecture of the Christian sanctuaries in or around Jerusalem, one of which commemorated the Ascension of Christ.
		One of the most interesting acts of Ibn al Zubayr, the opponent of the Umayyads in Mekkah, was his rebuilding of the Ka'bah after its destruction during the first Umayyad siege (683), not as it had been built with the youthful Muhammad's participation, but differently.

	Aksum - Chs. 6-10. by Dr. Stuart Munro-Hay.
		The idea has been advanced that the tiara was worn by the Aksumite king in his capacity of `king of kings', whilst the headcloth would indicate his position as the `king of the Aksumites' only.
		In spite of this paucity of evidence, the flourishing urban society of Aksum, with its prosperous trade and lack of defensive installations seems to indicate that the transmission of power was relatively stable over a considerable period.
		The basic idea of the hereditary succession in Ethiopia is confirmed by Ibn Ishaq's biography of the prophet Muhammad, as preserved, though sometimes altered, abbreviated, and annotated, in the works of such later historians as Ibn Hisham and Tabari (Guillaume 1955: Introduction).
