• Because of the absence of any political union and organized government in the land, there had been perpetual conflict and warfare among the Arabs. Tribal feuds, raiding, and plundering of one tribe by the other were the common phenomenon of the Arab life at that time… There being no political unity and organized government in Arabia, the ‘might is right’ was the law in the land. Besides, the Persians had already annexed Yemen and Hiraa and the Romans had occupied the Ghassanid kingdom. The future of a divided and distracted Arabia looked gloomy if she could not be rescued from her malady. A. Rahim, Islamic History
