What happened to Islam after the death of the Prophet Muhammad?
In 632 CE, the Muslim community faced its greatest crisis. Without its founder, revelation, or prophetic authority, Islam stood at a crossroads. Would it fragment into rival tribes—or survive as a unified religious and political force?
Islam After the Prophet explores the critical two-year period that defined the future of Islamic civilization. Focusing on the leadership of Abu Bakr, the first caliph, this book examines how the early Muslim community confronted internal rebellion, preserved its sacred text, and laid the foundations of Islamic governance.
Using early Islamic sources, modern historical scholarship, and external evidence, this book provides a clear, balanced, and accessible account of:
The succession crisis following Muhammad’s death
The Saqifah debate and the rise of the caliphate
The Riddah Wars and challenges to Muslim unity
The early preservation and compilation of the Qur’an
The transformation of a fragile community into a resilient polity
Written for students, scholars, newly reverted Muslims, and general readers, this book avoids polemics and devotional claims while presenting Islam as a historical movement shaped by leadership, law, and human decision-making.
Part of the Foundations of Islam series, this volume continues the story begun in The Origins of Islam and offers essential insight into how one of the world’s major civilizations survived its first existential crisis.
Ideal for readers interested in:Early Islamic history
The Rashidun Caliphate
Abu Bakr and the Riddah Wars
Qur’an preservation and early Islamic law
Historical approaches to religion
