What was the Arabian Peninsula like during the time of Muhammad?

Answers

I don’t know what they were like during Muhammad but I do know how they were like before pls mark brainliest if it helpssss!

Answer-

Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia was a mix of polytheism, Christianity, Judaism, and Iranian religions. Arab polytheism, the dominant belief system, was based on the belief in deities and other supernatural beings such as djinn. Gods and goddesses were worshipped at local shrines, such as the Kaaba in Mecca.

Answer:

Long story short: The time during Prophet Muhammad was peaceful in the beginning. But after telling his people that he believed in Islam they turned against him. So then war started.  In all there were three wars that had happened with Prophet Muhammad and his people. He had won in two of them but lost in one of them. After the three wars the whole Arabian Peninsula accepted Islam and peace was brought forward.

Answer:

Legislative -> Executive -> Judicial

Think about it this way:

Once they are executed and shown to be constitutional/able to work, then they go into the Judicial branch wherein they get formally enforced.

Excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave #2
Frederick Douglass
I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate
knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of
their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant.
do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time,
harvest-time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time. I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. He
deemed all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent, and evidence of a restless spirit.
