What Conditions Influenced the Rise of Islam in Arabia? 
In this article, we’ll discuss what conditions influenced the expansion of islam in Arabia, including Christian infighting, war, wealth, and slavery. These factors played important roles in the growth of Islam in the Arabian peninsula. We’ll also discuss the role of the Holy Land in Islam’s development.
islamic expansion in arabia was influenced by war
The Muslim conquest of the Arab peninsula paved the way for the development of the Arab Empire. This Muslim conquest was of practical necessity as water and fertile land were limited in the Arabian Peninsula. The military conquests that followed were ultimately beneficial for Islam, as they spread its ideals and community throughout the Middle East.
Arab warriors viewed battles as an opportunity to advance their faith, believing they were God-ordained for victory. They did not fear death and received material rewards from the spoils of war. In addition, the military conquests consolidated Islam’s political status. The caliph, Umar, regarded himself as the leader of the Arabs, and the monotheistic creed was seen as an essential element of the new political identity.
Christian infighting
The rise of Islam in Arabia has been attributed to a variety of factors. Many people attribute it to the zeal of Muslims for the religion. The early Islam movement was a monotheistic movement. However, as the Muslim world expanded, Christian infighting led to a schism among the early Muslim followers.
When the Umayyads took control of the Arabian Peninsula, they built a caliphate. The Arab armies advanced eastward and westward, creating an impressive system of administration. They also built many monuments. In Damascus, the Umayyad Mosque, once a Christian cathedral, and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem were among the first Islamic monuments.
Christian infighting also played a significant role in the rise of Islam in Arabia. For example, some Christians rejected the pacifist teachings of Jesus and embraced a ‘third cheek theology’, claiming that they had no cheek left to turn and that they must use violence against Muslims.
Slavery
The Islamic world was not exempt from slavery. Slaves were imported into the Islamic world via several routes, including trade routes from Central Asia. Slaves from Turkic and Tartar regions were imported to the Muslim world, and many eventually served in Arab armies as elite ranks. The spread of Islam also led to the vast development of the slave trade within the Islamic empire. The Roman Empire was also a major slave-producing region, although slaves came mostly from their own country.
Slavery was widespread and often inter-racial before the rise of the Ottoman state. Slaves could be Turks, Slavs, or sub-Saharan Africans. Even in the early Islamic period, racial prejudice was common, although the Prophet Muhammad was widely believed to preach against such practices. The Babylonian Talmud myth of Ham, for example, casts the descendants of Ham as slaves to the god Sham. Eventually, however, slavery became a punishment only for infidels captured in jihad.
Wealth
There are a number of different factors that influence the rise of Islam in Arabia. For example, the spread of Islam through merchants was different from the spread of Islam through missionaries and pilgrims. The growth of the Muslim community was also aided by the exchange of ideas from the East to the West. These exchanges brought about new interpretations of the religion and influenced local cultures.
The religious police were once an important force in Saudi Arabia, but these have diminished over time. Now, the religious police, also known as the Committee for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice, are largely irrelevant.
Religion
Before the rise of Islam, Arabian peoples were quite open to other religions, especially Zoroastrianism. The presence of the Sasanian Empire in the Arabian Peninsula brought with it the influence of Zoroastrianism. Moreover, Jews had lived in the Arabian Peninsula for nearly six centuries before Muhammad.
In this region, Jews were Arabized and spoke Arabic. They were merchants, Bedouin, farmers, poets, and warriors. Their religious beliefs were absorbed by Arabs. The Ka’ba in Mecca was associated with Abraham, Noah, and Adam long before the rise of Islam. Both Jews and Arabs considered themselves descended from Abraham.
Before Islam, Arabian people practiced polytheism. They worshiped the Ka’ba, a shrine in Mecca that contained countless idols, representing the gods of each tribe. This shrine served as a place of pilgrimage for all tribes. In fact, before Islam, the Ka’ba was the most sacred place in Arabia. It was home to 360 idols that represented all deities accessible to the Arabian people. The Quraysh, who controlled Mecca, also imposed a nonviolent zone around the Ka’ba, which was known as the Haram Zone. This allowed all tribes to visit Mecca without fear of riots or other violent acts.
