To create a timeline that accurately reflects the chronological order of key events in the origins of Islam and the growth of the Islamic Empire, you would want to select a chart that presents the events in proper sequence.
The correct order of events is as follows:
- 570 CE - Muhammad born in Mecca
- 610 CE - Gabriel visits Muhammad in meditation; Quran is transcribed
- 613 CE - Muhammad begins preaching his revelations from Allah
- 622 CE - Muhammad and his followers’ journey from Mecca to Medina, called Hijra
- 632 CE - Death of Muhammad and transition of power for first caliph; beginning of Sunni-Shiite split in Islam
- 634 CE - Death of first caliph, Abu Bakr
- 661 CE - Beginning of first Islamic Dynasty, Umayyad Dynasty, which marked the beginning of the Islamic Empire
- 1517 CE - Beginning of the Ottoman Empire
From the charts you provided, the correct chart to use would be the first one (or any that has the events listed in the order shown above) because it places all events in the proper chronological alignment.
Warning: Charts that incorrectly place the events (like putting 'Death of Muhammad' before 'Hijra' or mixing up the order of the Quran's transcribing) would not be appropriate for your timeline.
