After Muhammad's death in 632 CE, the Islamic Empire rapidly expanded under the leadership of the first four caliphs, known as the Rashidun Caliphs. This period saw the consolidation of Muslim rule across the Arabian Peninsula and the conquest of territories in the Byzantine and Sasanian empires. Internal divisions eventually emerged, leading to the Sunni-Shia split and ongoing conflicts over leadership and authority. The Umayyad Caliphate later succeeded the Rashidun, further expanding the empire into parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia.
