Chapter 3: Early Persecution in Makkah
Early Persecution in Makkah In the early years after the birth of Islam, Makkah was a city deeply rooted in tradition, power, and pride. The Quraysh tribe controlled trade, religion, and social order. The Ka‘bah stood at the heart of the city, filled with idols that represented not only religious beliefs but also economic power. Pilgrims from across Arabia came to worship these idols, bringing wealth and status to the Quraysh. When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ began preaching the message of one God, it was not seen as just a religious idea—it was viewed as a direct threat to the entire system of Makkah.

Chapter 1: Arabia Before Islam (Before 610 CE)
Arabia Before Islam (Before 610 CE) Before the rise of Islam in the early 7th century, the Arabian Peninsula was a land without a unified system of law or governance. Society was organized almost entirely around tribes, and a person’s identity, safety, and honor depended on the strength of their tribal connections. There was no central authority to enforce justice, no common legal code, and no concept of equal rights across tribes. This environment shaped daily life and laid the foundation for the dramatic transformation that Islam would later bring.
