One asks the question as to why Arab was chosen as the place for the spreading of Islam. It was known that in Arab newly born females were buried alive, as they were considered a burden upon the family. Arabs used to indulge in many socially unacceptable activities, like alcohol consumption, interest, idol worships, and a lot more. To sum it up they were far away from the concept of Oneness of God, and worshiped anything from sun to idols.

After knowing all such disbelieving and practices: Why was Arab chosen? It was chosen due the single quality in Arabs which was above all, their hospitality. They were very social and cordial. The quality which boosts the levels of trust and build bonds of friendship. History had its important roles. People all around the globe are moving towards the religion i.e. Islam.

No one was forced to convert as a Muslim. Muslims had open ended choices. Our Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) had a prime objective. He wanted to convey the message of Allah, through love and peace. The path of honesty is never obstacle proof, one has to struggle in order to make way ahead. Through the history of Islam we now know that Islam was the most followed religion that too by the sincerity, dedication, hard work, perseverance and unending determination of a single man, Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H).
