1. THE TRIBE
1 For hundreds of years before Islam, the tribe was the most important political 2 organisation across Arabia. Within this system, everybody knew their rights and duties 3 and these were looked after by the Sheikh, who was chosen by the people. Bravery and 4 personal honour were highly valued, as was Bedouin hospitality to guests and strangers. 5 Since there were no such things as police, courts or judges, the only protection from 6 enemies was through the tribe, so the tribe remained very important.

3. TRADE & CAMELS
1 Mecca became rich because it was at the centre of a trade route that linked East and West. This 2 linked the Far East and India with Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Persia and Europe. So Mecca 3 became very rich and very important. Their caravans travelled in summer to Syria and in winter to 4 Yemen.
5 Petra in Jordan also became rich from trading, and its leaders, the Nabateans, became famous for 6 building houses into the sandstone cliffs. Eventually Petra was taken over by the Romans. Before 7 this, though, the Nabateans did a lot of trading with the Pharaohs in Ancient Egypt.
8 The trade in spices, timber (wood), leather and food were all important. But the most important 9 item that made the most money was frankincense. This came from a special tree in Yemen and was 10 very expensive.
11 Many of the Arabs before Islam were nomads and depended on grazing goats and sheep. But the 12 most important animal for these Bedouin people was the camel.

Introduction to the Rashidun Caliphs
After the death of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in 8H (AD632), four 1 Rashidun Caliphs led Islam for the next 30 years. They were called Abu- 2 Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. They are also called the "Rightly Guided" 3 Caliphs because each of them had known the prophet personally. They 4 had been his close friends during the early years of Islam in Medina and 5 Mecca. The Rashidun Caliphate lasted until 40H (AD661), when there 6 was a civil war. 7
Caliph Abu-Bakr
1 After the Prophet died, people needed a leader they could trust. 2 Abu-Bakr was a loyal companion of the Prophet, and so he was 3 chosen. He was known to have a very honest character. But he 4 was only in charge for 2 years before he died. It was Abu-Bakr who 5 chose the word Caliph. He wanted to use a different name from 6 the one used by the prophet. Caliph means successor or follower 7 (in Arabic: khalifa). The whole of Arabia was taken over by Islam 8 during his time as caliph.
