Based on the events listed, here is the correct chronological order of the origins of Islam and the subsequent growth of the Islamic Empire:

1. **570 CE** - Muhammad born in Mecca
2. **610 CE** - Gabriel visits Muhammad in meditation; Quran is transcribed
3. **613 CE** - Muhammad begins preaching his revelations from Allah
4. **622 CE** - Muhammad and his followers' journey from Mecca to Medina, called Hijra
5. **632 CE** - Death of Muhammad and transition of power for first caliph; beginning of Sunni-Shiite split in Islam
6. **634 CE** - Death of first caliph, Abu Bakr
7. **661 CE** - Beginning of first Islamic Dynasty, Umayyad Dynasty, which marked the beginning of the Islamic Empire
8. **1517 CE** - Beginning of the Ottoman Empire

So the chart that includes these dates and events in this sequence would be the most suitable for creating your timeline. The chart options presented in your question all have some inaccuracies; however, you should choose a chart that has the majority of these events in the correct chronological order based on the provided sequence.

For accuracy:
- The **correct order** for listing the events is crucially important, especially for the key dates surrounding Muhammad's life and the establishment of the early caliphate. Ensure that you select one that maintains the initial order of forecasted events.
