[edit]- The religion of Islam arose in Arabia during the sixth and seventh centuries CE. At this time among the pre-Islamic Pagan Arabs, hospitality and generosity were celebrated virtues, though the Golden Rule was not. Like many other tribal peoples, the pre-Islamic Arabs regarded the survival of the tribe, not the individual, as most essential and to be insured by the ancient rite of blood vengeance.1
