Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hussein the Saiviour of Islam The Land of Advent of the Last Apostle of God THE PEOPLES IN the various parts of the earth had been given guidance from God in their respective languages through the apostles. Yet man followed Satan and led a wild and brutal life.

The people of the barren sandy desert of Arabia, led a nomadic life, roaming in the waterless plains with their herds of cattle and settl- ing down wherever they found water for themselves and pasture for their animals. Most of the land was not cuhivable for grains and the soil and the climate could grow only date palms on it. The staple diet of the people was dates and the milk of camel and sheep.

Owing to the scarcity of any other means of earning their livelihood, the people in groups preyed on each other for their own survival and thus got addicted to the worst of crimes such as plunder, piI- lage and carnage which had become their personal traits and profes- sion. Drinking and debauchery were a part of daily life.

After the death of their fathers, the men possessed their stepmothers as their wives, and out of a fanciful shame against giving their daughters to be the wives of the others, they buried alive their own female babies. Individual selfishness and group interest had been so much ingrained in their blood and emotions that a mere trifle of an offence against any individual was sufficient to generate warfare between the tribes for ages and generations together.

There was no law for man to resort to, and might alone was considered to be right. The people were not only drowned in ignorance but were also most unyielding in nature. The Darkness Demanded the Promised Light THE HOPELESS SITUATION on the earth against which the infinite knowledge of the All-Knowing and the All-Merciful Creator Lord had already determined the panacea, had dawned. The darkness which shrouded the earth, demanded the dawn of the Brightest Light which had been promised by the Lord.

At last dawned the heaven's Brightest Light in the arrival of MUHAMMAD the Last ApostIe of God who was caIIed by Buddha as Maetrea (i.e., the Mercy), by the Prophets preceding Jesus as The Prophet, and by Jesus with several glorious titles viz., 'The Spirit of Truth,' 'The Cottforter,' and 'The Holy Ghost' etc. The Lord's Covenant with Abraham Fulfilled AT LAST ON the 17th of the Lunar Month Rabiul Awwal in the Year of the Elephant (Amul Feel) A.D.
