What is the relationship between the Arabs and Islam in history?

The Arabs are a primarily ethnic group that historically inhabited the Arabian Peninsula. Islam, on the other hand, is a religion that originated in Arabia and was founded by the Prophet Muhammad. While many Arabs are Muslim, not all Arabs are Muslims and not all Muslims are Arab. However, Islam has had a significant influence on Arab culture, language, and history, as the religion spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula and beyond.


What did the Arabs think about Islam?

Most of the Arabs rejected the message of Islam in the first time of it, they were bigoted to the astray belief of their parents which is worshipping idols beside God (polytheism), some knew the truth of the message & were amazed by the Holy Quran but they rejected to believe due to their arrogance, many of those disbelievers attacked Islam through the prophet Muhammad PBUH & the persecuting to the small number of believers. Muhammad PBUH migrated with the believers from Mecca to Yathreb (Al-Madeenah) where He established the first Islamic community with the believers of Yathreb (Al-Ansar), with the time passing people started to convert to Islam as they realized the truth of the message & the greatness of the prophet Muhammad in particular & all the Muslims in general & realized their morals. The Islamic community became stronger & stronger. Muhammad PBUH with His Muslim companions returned to Mecca in 8 hijreah & they entered the city without fighting although they were a strong power at that time, it was a day of remission, an act of grace that forced all people of Mecca to convert to Islam after this huge mercy from Muhammad & that tolerance of Islam despite all the torment they caused to the believers.Mecca became an Islamic city & its people became Muslims. In the follwing year the Arabian tribes of the Arabic Peninsula came to Muhammah PBUh & converted to Islam in large numbers, that year is called the year of delegations. The Islamic Empire stretched more & more even after the death of Muhammad PBUH. Now, the Majority of Arabs are Muslims. The Islamic Nation is wide & lives all over the world. Among all the Muslims today, Arabs are only 20 %. This assures that the message of Islam is universal. For more information, please refer to the related questions.

Why the religion of Islam gave impulse to the Arabs to conquer vast territiories in the 7th century?

In order to spread Islam, certain obstacles (governments) had to be removed so that preaching could reach it's maximum affect. This was one of the reasons the Muslims conquered lands. Another reason is so that they were not wiped out easily by two powerful nations from both sides (byzantines and Persians). The Byzantines and the Persians both showed signs of hostility to the Arabs and this could have resulted in invasion, so the Muslims attacked first.


What is the contribution of the Muslims and Arabs to Islam?

The Arabs and Muslim have contributed immensely to the spread of Islam by spreading it to other continents such as Africa. A Muslim is a practitioner of Islam, so if Muslims did not exist, Islam would no longer be practiced (just like the Ancient Greek Religion with Zeus is no longer practiced). The Arabs were the first Muslims and were responsible for spreading Islam throughout North Africa and the Middle East.
