Mecca, generally considered "the fountainhead and cradle of Islam." In a desert valley of western Saudi Arabia is Islam's holiest city but no doubt, nothing is perfect from the beginning .
As once said "every saint has a past and every sinner has a future". The beginnings of Mecca are attributed to the Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael. The civilization of Mecca is believed to have started after Ibrāhīm (Abraham) left his son Ismāʿīl (Ishmael) and wife Hājar (Hagar) in the valley at Allah's command.
Afterwards, Sometime in the 5th century, the Ka'bah was a place of worship for the deities of "Arabia's pagan tribes. The Bait-Al-Haraam in Mecca, which had been reconstructed by Abraham for Allah’s worship, had been filled with 360 images and idols by these polytheists. most of the people at that time in Arab were illiterate.
THE SOCIETY WAS OPPRESSIVE.
Women had no place in society. They did not inherit any wealth and were used by the men merely for their pleasure. Birth of girls in a family was considered to be a curse and below the dignity of the family. Thus, the "honorable" Arabs used to bury their newborn baby girls alive. Slavery was rampant, and the slaves were treated worse than animals. The weak and poor were oppressed by the strong. There was no security of life, property and honor. The tribes would fight till death over the smallest problems. In fact, upon the death of a man, his sons used to inherit all of his wives as well along with his wealth. The Arabs used to indulge excessively in wine, gambling, and poetry.
THE ARAB SOCIETY DEFINETELY NEEDED A GUIDANCE , A LEADER , THE MESSENGER , SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP TO FIND THE RIGHT PATH TO THE LOST PEOPLE SO.... Here comes one!!!!
