The Quran as a historical source

The population of Arabia lived in conditions of the disintegration of the tribal system and the formation of class society. One of the means of uniting numerous Arab tribes into a single state was the Muslim religion, or Islam. In Arabic, "Islam" means "submission", and the name "Muslims" comes from the word "Muslim" - translated to Allah, in the plural - "Muslimon." Polytheism of the tribes, Islam opposed the cult of the one, only, eternal and all-powerful God of Allah. The text of the book is presented in 2 languages: English and Russian. Naselenie Aravii zhilo v uslovijakh razlozhenija rodoplemennogo stroja i formirovanija klassovogo obschestva. Odnim iz sredstv obedinenija mnogochislennykh arabskikh plemen v edinoe gosudarstvo stala musulmanskaja religija, ili islam. Po-arabski "islam" oznachaet "pokornost", a nazvanie "musulmane" proiskhodit ot slova "muslim" - predavshij sebja Allakhu, vo mnozhestvennom chisle - "muslimun". Mnogobozhiju plemen islam protivopostavil kult edinogo, edinstvennogo, vechnogo i vsemoguschego boga Allakha. Tekst knigi predstavlen na 2 jazykakh: anglijskom i russkom.
