Pre-Islamic Arabia

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Before Islam, the Arabian Peninsula had trading towns, tribes living in the desert, and poets who made beautiful verses.

Long before revelation came, the Arabian Peninsula was a wide land with trading towns such as Mecca and tribes that moved across the desert. People loved poetry, and they gathered at the Ukaz market to hear the finest poems. Some worshipped idols, and there were also Jewish and Christian communities. Islam came out of this land.
