Aleidan 1 Bader Aleidan Prof. Marlene Pearson English 113B 11/03/2014 (Last Draft, Essay #2) The Positive Powerful of Islam Revolution Islam is the second largest population in this world. From the beginning of Islam history. Before Islam, The Arabs were living a measurable life. They were drinking Alcohol and gambling most of the time. The tribe is called “Quraysh," they located in "Arab Peninsula" which is divided to seven countries. These countries are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen in these days. Quraysh were a powerful merchant tribe that controlled Mecca and its Ka'aba. The prophet Mohammed (ص)(peace be up on him,) and his tribe were following their religion. Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat were the daughters of God in their believes. Al-Uzza is one of three the goddesses that people were worshiped in Ma’aka. As Monaghan states that Al-Uzza is the mighty God. Circumambulation was in Quaraysh’s religion; they were parading around Al-Uzza God. “With Al-Lat and Mana¯ t, this goddess composed the ‘‘daughters of Allah.’’ She was considered the most recent of the three, associated with oracular pronouncements. But monotheistic writers connected her, as they did other goddesses, with evil; the early Christian writer Jerome specifically described Uzza as a form of the fallen angel Lucifer,” said Monaghan. Those three Goddesses were the guidance for Quaraysh tribe. The prophet Mohammed (ص) was known the sincere and entrusted. His tribe trusted him. Quaraysh's main god was Hubal. According to The Oxford Handbook of Late Antiquity, "The Qurayshite pantheon was composed principally of idols that were in the Haram of Makka, that is, Hubal (the most important and oldest deity), Manaf, Isaf, and Na'ila." However, there was an exceptional person among those barbaric people. Before the message of Islam came, Omar Ibn Al Khattab had the humanity behavior, and he was known for his kinship. The famous families in Mohammed’s (ص) generation did not used to send their children to take care of their supplies because it is hard work under scorching sun and it is far from their city, the used to make their slave to take care of it. However, Omar was taking care of his father’s supplies by his himself. He also, used to bring the firewood and dates to his aunts. He was also, prudent and smart. Quraysh uesed to say him “he is Quraysh's boy, wrestler, ambassador and Quraysh tongue when it comes to war." He was their hero, and his tribe trusted his opinion. On the other hand, Amr ibn Hishām was the prophet’s uncle. When Amr heard about Mohammed’s message, he started to harass the prophet. Their names Omar and Amr are not very different. The prophet made dua’a and he said (In meaning of the prophet’s word) “O God, bless the Islam of one of the two Omares.” That day Amr was going back to his home, while his walking he faced a poor guy and this guy was following Mohammed’s religion, which is Islam. Amr hits this guy as he alwa.
