(1) THE SCENE PRIOR TO ISLAM
It was a desolate land: sandy, barren,and unfriendly
The home of the Arabs; wild ferocious
and manly
They worshipped the idols; they loved
to fight
Life to them was wine, women and
might
The number of wives, the cattle they
owned,
The number of slaves, one's house
adorned,
Was a sign of rank in wealth and
might;
It was a society, where
Might was Right.
Two qualities they had, which were
good
The guests they honored, with best
of food
Poetry to them, was an art supremely
sublime
They were literary geniuses of their
time.
They killed female babes, they buried
them alive
They married the widows, their father's
wives
Vengeance was a passion, cruel the
strife
These sons of desert, such was their
life.
Morals they had none; wild was their
lust
Women were cattle, treated like
dust
Enjoyment of life was their sole
goal
Woman, they believed, had no
soul.
They had no belief in the life
Hereafter
Life to them was all fun and
laughter
Prophets had come and prophets had
gone
Still, this land was of truth
shorn.
Judaism was dead; Christianity was
in name
Sickly and forlorn, the world
remained
Vengeance, to them, was an article
of faith
Blindly, they relished their creed
of hate.
The priests were interpreters of
heavenly laws
They commanded respect and were held
in awe
Things that were unlawful, to them
were allowed
A privileged class; they were haughty
and proud.
In span of four thousand and odd
years
Innumerable religions had been
reared
With passage of time, they were
polluted
Beyond recognition, each got
diluted.
The true religions were only in
name
It was virtually a devils reign
Truth was at a discount; honesty
had fled
Virtue was scoffed at; goodness was
dead.
This land was thus chosen for God's
last message
It was the crossroad of international
passage
The last of message was thus
destined,
To stay forever and cover all
mankind.
