Tanah Arab dikelilingi oleh laut merah di barat.. and lautan india di selatan... persian gulf di timur.. dan syria di bahagian utara. 1/3 dari tanah arab adalah padang pasir. its hills are barren and valleys consist of dry beds.tiada satu sungai pun yg mengalir kecuali di barat daya tanah arab. the famous city of Makkah and Madinah lie in Hijaz, which a strip of land that extends along the Red Sea between syria in the north and Yemen in the south.

tanah arab terkenal dengan emas, perak dan batu2 yg beharga. tumbuhan yg tumbuh... hanya kurma.. binatang paling beharga ... unta >> the "ship of the Desert" tanah di tanah arab tidak berkuality.. so the main form of livelihood was either rearing camels, horses, cattle or the transportation of merchandise along the trading routes of the deserts...

bayangkan... setiap hari... bila matahari terbit.. the arabs sees... padang pasir... yg luas terbentang... unta... mungkin kambing sikit2... pohon kurma rumah yg sgt simple dibuat dari tanah liat.. terbenamnya matahari... tiada cahaya lampu neon menerangi tanah arab... bintang2 di angkasa shj... mlm gelap gelita... so???? they have relatively simple live compare to us.. yg ada computer... yg pergi kelas tgk jakaranda.. burung itu ini... building yg pelbagai bentuk...

kesannya

as a result of their desert life.. qualities and strength, endurence and quickness of temper were required... mereka sangat susah untuk memaafkan.. dan pergaduhan among tribes can last for generations...

on the other hand orang arab sangat berani... pemurah.. dan setia... sgt2 menghormati tetamu.. mereka sanggup menyembelih their last sheep or or goat to feed their guests... this hospitable nature could explain one of the reasons for Allah choosing the Arabs as the primary vehicle for transmiting the final message of Allah...

ingat

pada masa yg sama ... telah wujudnya tamadun rom dan parsi... namun.. kerajaan rom dan parsi.. tak teringin pun nak tawan tanah arab...

.... to be continued....
