After the death of Prophet Muhammad SAW, Islam spread rapidly throughout the countries on the eastern part of Arabia. The first Islamic kingdom era, which lasted until half of the seventh century and governed by the Ummayah dynasty, was marked by wars and glorious victories over the surrounding kingdoms in order to expand the Islamic territory.
