How did trade routes influence religion in Mecca?

History
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
5 0

Before the advent of Islam, Arabs lived in tribal organizations as cattlemen and nomads. The chief of the tribe was the sheikh, who had no executive power but was the first among equals. For the sake of secure trade, one of the tribe was keen on unifying Arab tribes, which would reduce frequent conflicts between them.

Explanation:

  • Tribes were often at odds with each other, mostly because of the water source. The situation in the Arabian Peninsula is beginning to change as trade develops, a  mostly intermediary trade between Byzantium and India as the main trade route is shifting to Arabia due to the conflict between Byzantium Empire and Persia.
  • This brokerage trade enriched the tribe, who controlled much of Arabia's most developed area - the province of Hejaz, which houses the strongest city center, Mecca.
  • For the sake of secure trade, they were keen on unifying Arab tribes, which would reduce frequent conflicts between them. They were not powerful enough to exercise pan-Arab political power, so they tried to achieve the unity of the Arabs on the basis of a common religious cult, which is the obvious influence of the surrounding monotheistic religions - Christianity and Judaism.
  • The center of this cult became the temple at Mecca, or Kaaba, which was the tribal shrine.
  • The influence of monotheistic religions is particularly evident in one pre-Islamic monotheistic sect among Arabs, the so-called Hanif, whose worshipers believed in one eternal and omnipotent deity - Allah.

s2008m [1.1K]

The statements which are consequences are:

A. Machines could work at rates faster than human power ever allowed.  

E. It turned the wooded areas of Britain into great centers of industry.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The engine was used to pump water from mines. With the improvements made by James Watt in 1778, steam power immediately took off. The Watt steam engine dramatically improved the efficiency of the steam engines. His engines might be smaller, with much less coal being used.

The steam engine was integrated into the machinery and made the first true industrial machinery by eliminating wooded areas. Becoming able to provide movement and control by steam innovated the work of several industries, enabling them to avoid using the hectic time taken by manpower, which also created problems.

How did FDR'S attitude towards neutrality change and how does the four freedoms speech explain that change?
Vikentia [17]
On January 6, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his eighth State of the Union address, now known as the Four Freedoms speech. The speech was intended to rally the American people against the Axis threat and to shift favor in support of assisting British and Allied troops. Roosevelt's words came at a time of extreme American isolationism; since World War I, many Americans sought to distance themselves from foreign entanglements, including foreign wars. Policies to curb immigration quotas and increase tariffs on imported goods were implemented, and a series of Neutrality Acts passed in the 1930s limited American arms and munitions assistance abroad.

In his address, Roosevelt called for the immediate increase in American arms production, and asked Americans to support his "Lend-Lease" program, which gave Allies cash-free access to US munitions. Most importantly, Roosevelt announced his vision for the world, "a world attainable in our own time and generation," and founded upon four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

These freedoms, Roosevelt declared, must triumph everywhere in the world, and act as a basis of a new moral order. "Freedom," Roosevelt declared, "means the supremacy of human rights everywhere."
