Ancient Arabia was essentially a tribal society , in which a great majority was of nomadic , pastoral tribes or the bedonian tribes lived a semi communistic life holding such sources of livelihood in common such as pastures , water spring cultivated lands etc, only the personal belongings like the tents, household articles were owned privately .
An Arab had no personal gain or individual life , he lived for his tribe or Clan.they were few towns but even the town arabs lived the same tribal communistic life as Arabs of deserts, but gradually however a new type of tribe arose in the town first in the south Arabia of Himyaritic kings & then in Northern Arabia, they were the money conscious & aristocratic tribes, they were the product of internal trade & international commerce during the minion & sabbian kingdoms of antiquity but flourished during the Himyarite kingdom, during the jahaliya period the center of Arabian commerce was shifted to Hijaz due to imperialistic rivalry & depredation of Rome & Persia in the Yamen. The Qurysh became the leading mercantile tribe of the age, they had however several commercial allies and rivals such as Taqif of Taif , the Jewish agrarian , money lenders and the Christian wine merchants also joined them .headed by the Quraysh these mercantile tribes organized the whole Arabian society for commerce and economic gain .fair were held all over the Arabia , markets were open in various towns, caravans of trade were sent in all directions of Arabia & beyond. Trade routes were laid out in all part of Arabia from south to North, from east to west , Mecca become the center & emporium of national & international trade of Arabia. The Bedoniun tribes were induced by mean of fair & pilgrimage to visit these fairs & holy places , they
brought with them their surplus produce such as incense , gum dates etc & brought in exchange textile , grain, sword & weapons. Often the Bedouin tribes become the debtors of rich merchants of the town , thus to them the Qurysh come to mean shark which eats the lesser fish . in this way these deserts tribes entangle into the coils of money economy of the Quryash & their merchant tribes . in their turn the merchant tribe carried the bedoninan produce & the Indian goods in to the market town of Syria there they exchange mostly them with Roman gold & silver because the Byzantine had little else to exchange with Arabian merchandise .
The money economy however acted as a solvent of the earlier comnunial and matrarchial tribalism , it disrupted its tribal customs & social relations undermined its moral principles & values intensified the greed & hunger of both the Bedonians & town Arabs and led to very bitter & protracted (lasting longer than expected or longer than usual ). This socio economic crisis was further deepened by the migration of Yamanee tribes to the Noroth and the imperialistic intrigues and desing of Rome and Persia . these causes made the lives of Jahalaya Arabs more nasty bruticsh & the miserable

Before the birth of Holy prophet the geo global scenario was also in a state of utter conflict , Christianity , judism was in a state of demoralization with the exception of Europe where the great pop Geogray have an improved situation. The eastern empire of the Byzantine was made complicated by its querling monks & bishops , emperor & follower who were cutting each other throat in the process. Wherea condition of Jewish & magan was equally corrupt. Just like greek & Persian Empire the condition in India was deplorable, where the Buddism was on decline & the new Hindusim was resurgent , but the new Hinduism was caste ridden , ritualistic & full of superstitions & fetishism .
The political life of the sixth centuary AD was equally miserable , the Empires of Greece & Persia was at loggerhead with each other .
IT was such a time when Muhammad (peace be upon him ) appeared , the degraded condition of human intellect both in Europe & Asia when Muhammad appeared as a Prophet
In other the whole words was waiting for a deliverer or Nijat Dahanda who they found in form RAHMATUL-LIL-AALMEEN Huzrat Muhammad Sala Allah
