This is the seventh century A.D. There is no electricity, so towns are silent and dark at night. There is no running water, unless a stream runs through a town. There are no telephones, no printing presses, no hospitals or antibiotics. Pregnancy and childbirth are dangerous. Maybe half of the children die before they grow up. The population is generally illiterate, so the skill of memorization is greatly prized. The average person can recite thousands of lines of poetry, much of it e is complex, and every word has a variety of meanings and shades of meanings, depending on the context. Philosophy is also a matter of great interest. Family and clan are extremely important. Marriage to cousins, rather than to non-relatives, is preferred, as a relative is someone known, and the family, as a whole, can control a member's behavior to some extent. A clan is not limited to one city or region-there may be member families in a variety of places. Travel is arduous. Outside towns, there are few roads. Most travel takes place along trails that have been used for millennia. People travel on foot, horseback, or camel back. They travel heavily armed, as many routes are controlled by outlaws. Honor in all aspects of life is of paramount importance. Although there are a few Christians and Jews, the majority of the population is pagan. Then God sends a prophet, and a new light illuminates western Arabia. This is the seventh century A.D. There is no electricity, so towns are silent and dark at night.

What factors in Persia and India in the seventh century might have made the Arab invasions possible?
The Arabs did not successfully invade India in the seventh century and Muslim invasions of the Indian Subcontinent would not occur until the 1500s with the Mughal (who were Turks). The Hindu Kush mountains remained the border between Islam and Hinduism as it has been the border between Zoroastrianism and Hinduism for centuries to come. As for the Persians, they had been fighting with the Byzantine Empire for a long period stretching from the late 6th century to the early 7th century. The Persian army was weak and its southern border (with Arabia) was relatively lightly defended since a Byzantine attack was judged more likely than an Arab one. As a result, when the Arabs launched a coordinated attack on the Persian Empire, the country crumbled almost immediately. Salman the Persian (one of Mohammed's Apostles) was able to use the Persian bureaucracy to maintain law and order during the quick transition.
