List of Muslim states and dynasties


History of Muslim States

The early Muslim conquests began in the lifetime of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. His successors conquered large swaths of the Middle East and North Africa, in addition to part of Southern Europe and the Indian subcontinent. In the decades after his death, the caliphate founded by his earliest successors, called the Rashidun caliphate, was succeeded by the Umayyad caliphate and later the Abbasid caliphate.
While the caliphates gradually fractured and fell, other Muslim dynasties rose; some of these dynasties grew into Islamic empires, with some of the most notable being the Safavid dynasty, Ottoman Empire, and Mughal Empire.
