Arabian Peninsula 632 CE

Shortly after the death of our Prophet Muhammed, the Islamic community faced hurt and confusion. Many people, such as me, had nowhere to turn to. There were many parties of rebellious Arabians, trying to find purpose after the Prophet's death. It was said by the community that tribes in the Arabian Peninsula sought to rebel. I have always been one to listen to what people gossip about and I know that while our Prophet was alive many tribes came under our branch for political reasoning, once our Prophet was dead they wanted nothing to do with us. Abu Bakr became the first Caliph of the Islamic empire and immediately people spoke about his ability to conceal the rebellions of the tribe people. At that moment I wondered, what greater duty in life would it be to join the Rasiphud army.  I could venture with Abu Bakr and his commanders on a journey for Islamic expansion. I am one of many faithful persons who joined the Rashidun army. 

 It was the year 632 CE when we went to the Arabian Peninsula, we were divided into eleven corps to look over specific regions. Abu Bakr didn’t always believe in violence, his belief was also in diplomacy. This is why we went into the Peninsula with two tactics, the potential use of arms and abundantly, the use of diplomacy. Many were subdued to the tactics of our army while others like the Najd province fought hard against our army. In December of 632 CE, we were forced to use our military against the Najd Province, it was a grand battle and the Rasipud army outnumbered the enemies, shortly thereafter the Arabian Peninsula was united under the Islamic community and we were able to continue our duty.
