Arabia before Muhammad

         Before Muhammad was born, Arabian society was divided into many social levels. Women, for example, were highly cherished and protected that it lead to bloody fights, just to protect the women. Not only did they just fight for women's protection, but they also fought for freedom between cities and countries.
         Mecca, a religious center, was not only a place for religion, but was also a trading spot. Many people traded goods from the Mediterranean to South Arabia, East Africa, and South Asia.
         Mecca was the one place that Muhammad was known for, for he has shaped and changed Arabia to be a better place.
