1. The Age Before the Coming of Islam
Before Islam came to the world, especially in the Middle Eastern countries, the Arab region was surrounded by two great empires, namely the Eastern Roman Empire in the West and Persia in the East. Byzantine territory included Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Asia Minor, and parts of continental Europe. The peak of Roman glory was during the leadership of Justin (483-565 AD), at that time there was a war between the Eastern Roman and Persian empires.
The war with Persia caused their influence to weaken so that when Islam grew and became stronger they could be overthrown and their territory came under the control of the Islamic religion. Christianity was a major religion that at that time was developing in areas under Roman rule and Emperor Constantine recognized Christianity as a legitimate religion that was widely adhered to by many people and made it the state religion.
