The origins of Islam: The Arabian peninsula before Muhammad: The Arabs of 600 c.e. Lived exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula and on the desert fringes of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. Along their Euphrates, the Sasanids used nomadic Arab chieftains to protect their empire. The Byzantines did the same with Arabs on their Jordanian frontier Arab pastoralists to the south remained isolated and independent, didn?t draw attention. Throughout history more people living on the Arabian Peninsula have subsisted as farmers than as pastoral nomads. Farming villages support the comparatively dense population of Yemen, where abundant rainfall waters the highlands during the spring monsoon. Small inlets along the southern coast favored fishing and trading communities.
