Muhammad preached publicly of the duty to
submit to the one true god, gaining followers
and earning the enmity of the polytheistic
authorities. To escape persecution, Muhammad
was forced to flee in 622 to Yathrib (later called
Medina). His poetic recitations and pleas for
social justice continued to win converts, and
Muhammad was repeatedly called into battle in
his efforts to unite Arabia behind the faith known
as Islam. After finally conquering Mecca in 630,
Muhammad returned to Medina, where he died in
632.

The five basic acts in Islam, considered
obligatory for all believers. They are (1) the
creed (shahadah), (2) daily prayers (salat), (3)
almsgiving (zakah), (4) fasting
during Ramadan and (5) the pilgrimage to
Mecca (hajj) at least once in a lifetime.
Both Shia and Sunni sects agree on the
essential details for the performance of these
acts.

The first period of Ottoman history was characterized by almost
continuous territorial expansion, during which Ottoman
dominion spread out from a small north-western Anatolian
principality to cover most of south-eastern Europe and Anatolia.
In their initial stages of expansion, the Ottomans were leaders of
the Turkish warriors for the faith of Islam, known by the
honorific title ghāzī (Arabic: “raider”), who fought against the
shrinking Christian Byzantine state. The ancestors of Osman I,
the founder of the dynasty, were members of the Kayı tribe who
had entered Anatolia along with a mass of
Turkmen Oğuz nomads. Those nomads, fleeing from the
Mongols of Genghis Khan, established themselves as the Seljuq
dynasty in Iran and Mesopotamia in the mid-11th century,
overwhelmed Byzantium after the Battle of Manzikert (1071), and
occupied eastern and central Anatolia during the 12th century.

in 1946.
Iraq: Occupied by Britain in World War I. Nominally
independent after 1932.

THE NEW STATES OF THE GULF AND THE ARABIAN PENINSULA
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain,United Arab Emirates: With
the exception of Saudi Arabia, these are mostly “new States” that
came into existence in the 1960s and 1970s, carved out of a
region that had been under British military and naval “protection”
from the 1830s onward. Present Saudi Arabia dates from the
1930s. Kuwait dates from the 1950s when it emerged from
under Iraqi-British tutelage. Colonization was not important for
these states because they had no resources that anyone wanted.
This changed with the discovery of oil.
THE POOR COUNTRIES OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA
South Yemen: Results from the ex-British colony at Aden and a
Marxist-Leninist revolution.
North Yemen: Results from a “loyalist” hold-out. Region is now
almost a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia. The two Yemens merged in
1990, but the legacy of divisions remains, resulting in
reoccurring crisis situations and instability.
