正是在阿拉伯半岛，在麦加的沙丘之间，安拉（SWT）派遣了祂的使者穆罕默德ﷺ，将伊斯兰的讯息带给全人类，其中包含造物主为他们所选定的生活制度。在伊斯兰到来之前，人们过着无知和自私的生活，强者支配并压迫弱者。下面简要看看蒙昧时代人们的生活状况：

It was in the Arabian peninsula, among the sandhills of Makkah, that Allah (swt) sent His Messenger Muhammad (saw) to mankind bearing the message of Islam, containing the system of life that their Creator has chosen for them. Before its advent, people used to live a life of ignorance and selfishness, where the strong would dominate and oppress the weak. Here is a quick look at how life used to be in the days of ignorance :

* 一个人的忠诚首先属于他的家族，其次属于他的部落。无论家族或部落采取何种立场，他都会支持他们，不论其是否正义。部落之间的战争极为常见，而且常常因为最荒谬的原因持续数年。两个部落因一匹骆驼而展开的战斗，竟延续了数十年。

* A person’s allegiance was to his family and then to his tribe. Whatever position the family or tribe would take, he would support them regardless of whether they were just or not. Wars between tribes were very common and for the most absurd reasons could continue for years. A battle between two tribes over a camel lasted for decades.
