Here is a little overview of the content of the historical study of Islamic Culture: The Arabs Before Islam

The Arabs before the entry of Islam had diverse beliefs, but most were worshippers of various kinds of idols. The Nasharas or adherents of the Nasrani faith are found in the Hirah, Ghassan, and Najran.

There are also adherents of jewish religions in Taima, Wadil-Qura, Fadak, Khaibar, & Yatsrib (Medina). As well as zoroastrians (Majusi) who were found in the Eastern part of the Arabian peninsula due to the Persian effect (now Iran).

There are small kabilahs that worship natural objects, such as the sun, moon, or mountains. Animal worshippers, jinns (Shabiin) and there is also a small group who practice the monotheism religion brought by Ibrahim (Diin al Hanafiyah).

There are approximately 41 caravans inhabiting the Arabian peninsula. Call it Bani Abdud Dar, Abdu Manaf, Abdu Shams, Kaum 'Ad, Bani Adi, Amir bin Lu'ay, Asad bin Abdul Uzza, Asad bin Khuzaimah, Bani Aus, & Bani Azad.
Bani Hanifah, Haris bin Fihr, Bani Ghatafan, Ghassan, Bani Hashim, Hawazin, Hilal, Jumah, Jurhum, Khazraj,

Kinanah, & Bani Khuza'ah. There are still Bani Lakhm, Makhzum, Muharib ibn Fihr, Mublib, Naufal, Nabath, Qainuqa, Qudha'ah, Quraysh, Sahm, Saba', Sulaim, Syaibah, Taim, Tamim, Tsaqif, Tsamuds, Umayyads, and Bani Zuhrah.

They were all fragmented with one leader in each of them. Only when Islam arrived did those who embrace Islam melt into one regardless of their respective family backgrounds and living in harmony side by side. The Prophet's Proselytizing on Mecca and Medina

The proselytizing of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam lasted very short, that is, for approximately 23 years. During that time he who struggled to use perseverance managed to bring his people to the side of detail.

The Arabs who had been far from Allah managed to enlighten the teachings of Islam brought by the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

The period of indictment of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasalam is divided into two, namely the Period of Makkah and the Period of Medina. During the Makkah period, the Prophet's charges were serious in the cultivation of the values of aqidah, such as godliness.

Meanwhile, in the Medina period he was more poly conveying things related to using muamalah both world affairs and worship.

The Messenger of Allah SAW on proselytizing was not only smart in making proselytizing plans, but also descended exclusively on the implementation of his proselytizing plan.

So that his weaknesses and shortcomings in preaching can be corrected using appropriately by Him. He uses a cultural, structural & social movement approach in proselytizing.

The approach taken between the proselytizing of the Makkah period using the Medina peroide is also different.

In the Mecca Period the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mostly used a cultural approach with horizontal movement.

Another case is using the Medina period, the majority of which is a cultural approach with vertical movement. The difference in the way of proselytizing he considered by looking at the condition of the people that existed. Hajj Wada

Hajj wada' or farewell hajj was the last hajj that the Messenger of Allah performed with Muslims at that time. This event was carried out in the year 10 Hijri to coincide with the year 632 AD.

This event is very important in islamic history because hajj wada' is the first and last hajj of the Messenger of Allah after fathul Makkah and before his death.

It is recorded in history that the Prophet Muhammad SAW never performed hajj based on Medina or the completion of his hijra except in the 10th year of Hijri became hajj wada.

In this incident, the Messenger of Allah conveyed Allah's command regarding the obligation to hajj to all Muslims, both in the form of words and deeds.

When he was expressing the matter of Hajj to his People who were in the Field of Arafah came down the word of Allah, namely Surat Ali Imran verse 97 & Al Maidah verse three. The History of the Emergence of Sects in Islam

The emergence of various kinds of theological traditions in Islam began since the death of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa salam. Since the time of Caliph Abu Bakr as Shidiq Muslims have begun to have a little dispute over who will replace the Prophet Muhammad to lead Islam.

Similarly, the caliphate after Abu Bakr was also rejected. The peak was during the reign of Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib.

This physical war during the reign of the fourth Caliph was inevitable. Several times the troops supporting Ali ibn Abi Talib fought against his opponents.

The biggest civil war of that era was the Jamal war that took place between Caliph Ali's Camp and the ummul mukmini Aisyah ra assisted by Zubair bin Awwan and Thalhah.

The contributing factor was that Caliph Ali, who was in office at that time, did not want to punish the assassin Uthman ibn Affan & wanted to settle the matter calmly to avoid war.

The rejection of the Aisyah camp created muslims at that time divided. Zubair and Thalhah were killed when they were about to escape while Aisyah was taken prisoner & sent home to Medina.

Not only the Jamal war, there was another civil war that occurred during the reign of caliph Ali, namely the Siffin war. The policies made by Ali at that time received contradictions based on the governor in Damascus, namely Muawiyyah bin Abu Sufyan.

At that time muawiyyah received support from high-ranking officials and former officials during the ottoman caliphate. So Ali lost support and the Muawiyyah advanced using the establishment of the Umayyad dynasty.

From these disputes arose religious genres in Islam, for example Shia, Khawarij, Murjiah, Muktazilah, Asy'ariyah, Maturidiyah, Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah, Jabariyah, and Kadriyah.

Initially these schools emerged into political factions that eventually developed into matters of faith.

Thus our explanation of the History of Islamic Culture in the Early Days of Its Emergence. Hope it is useful.
