The population of Arabia lived in conditions of the disintegration of the tribal system and the formation of class society. One of the means of uniting numerous Arab tribes into a single state was the Muslim religion, or Islam. In Arabic, "Islam" means "submission", and the name "Muslims" comes from the word "Muslim" - translated to Allah, in the plural - "Muslimon." Polytheism of the tribes, Islam opposed the cult of the one, only, eternal and all-powerful God of Allah. The text of the book is presented in 2 languages: English and Russian.
