that was to be seen was sand and
stone. And if you were real lucky
then an oasis or two, here and
there, scattered over the vast gold-
en deserts.
There were few animals. The
camel, though, is one animal that
lived quite comfortably in these
deserts, because they were able to
go for days without drinking a single
drop of water. Arabia was truly a
harsh land, which very few would
dare to pass through.
But in those lands lived a brave
people, who were hospitable too.
They loved their freedom and would
travel over the deserts, over its
wavy sand dunes, and sleep under
the starry moonlit skies. They were
the great-grandchildren of
Nabi
Ibrahim [a], the Prophet and Friend
of Allah. They were the Arabs.
The Arabs had forgotten the religion
