The religion of Islam is often viewed solely in terms of its origins in the<br >barren, sparsely settled Arabian Peninsula. To be sure, it was in the Arabian<br >city of Mecca that Islam was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the<br >years A.D. 610 to A.D. 632. However, during the century following Muham-<br >mad s death, the Arabs expanded out of the peninsula and conquered a<br >world empire stretching from Spain to present-day Pakistan. The great capi<br >tal cities of the first Arab-Islamic empires, Damascus and Baghdad, were not<br >located in Arabia but in the long-settled lands of antiquity. To understand<br >the development of Islam and Islamic civilization, we must recognize that<br >the Middle East region into which Islam expanded was a rich repository of<br >centuries of accumulated intellectual exchanges, religious experiences, and<br >administrative practices. Islamic society built upon these existing tbunda-<br >tions and was shaped by them. As Ira Lapidus has written, "The civilization<br >of Islam, though born in Mecca, also had its progenitors in Palestine, Baby-<br >lon, and Persepolis."l<br >
