The correct answer is actually option B: Members of the Umayyad clan served as caliphs following the death of Muhammad.
To arrive at this answer, one would need to have a basic understanding of the succession of leaders in the Arab Empire after the death of Muhammad. Here's how you can arrive at the correct answer:
1. Start by understanding what a caliph is: A caliph is a title given to the political and religious leader of the Muslim community, known as the Ummah. The caliphate is the political institution that the caliph leads.
2. After the death of Muhammad in 632 CE, a series of caliphs came to power. The successor to Muhammad as the first caliph was Abu Bakr, who belonged to the same tribe as Muhammad and was one of his closest companions. He served as caliph from 632 to 634 CE.
3. After Abu Bakr's death, Umar ibn al-Khattab became the second caliph and served from 634 to 644 CE. Uthman ibn Affan, from the Umayyad clan, became the third caliph and served from 644 to 656 CE.
4. The Umayyad clan gained more prominence during the reign of the fourth caliph, Ali ibn Abi Talib (656–661 CE), who was a cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad. However, after Ali's assassination in 661 CE, the Umayyads came to power and established the Umayyad Caliphate, with their capital in Damascus, Syria. This marked the end of the Rashidun Caliphate, which was the reign of the first four caliphs.
Based on this historical information, we can conclude that members of the Umayyad clan served as caliphs following the death of Muhammad. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
No.
