The Arab nomads were organized into clans
these protected people form dessert had few supplies and little water.
By the time of 600 ad many Arabs had chosen to settle by an oasis or in a market town the desert life was just too tough and unpredictable
Mecca was developed by an oasis is a holy land
many Muslims go here to visit and pay homage
Trade life
people moved into cities and trading increased
Many routes because of the bodies of water that surrounded the area
Traded many things like spices incense perfumes precious metals,
Belived in one god named Allah
Muhammad was a prophet very influential figure
at age of 40 he was said to have hear voice of Allah
Went to village and told people about this experience
this happened in Mecca
Islam means submission to the will of Allah
Muslim means one who has submitted
