???
3.
what event would come next to complete this timeline?

Explanation:

The timeline shows events in Muhammad's life and early Islam. After the Quran was written (653 - 656 C.E.) and other early events, the next major event related to Islam's growth is the expansion of the Muslim empire. The other options: "Historical origins of Islam" is already covered by earlier events, "Development of the five pillars" is more about religious practice development (not the next in this timeline of Muhammad's life and early expansion), and "Birth of the first prophet" is incorrect as Muhammad is a prophet but not the first (e.g., Adam, Abraham were earlier prophets in Islamic tradition). So the expansion of the Muslim empire logically follows as the next event after the early foundational events of Islam.

Answer:

Expansion of Muslim empire
