Description: We are an ancient civilization, the 1st to join Muhamed, PBUH (peace be upon him) after he took Mecca. The great Omar invested in the land after sending his caravan to it for trade. He found the land fertile for growing and fairly unpopulated, with a few villages 'round about. He went back to Mecca and told the Great Hamzah, who had conquered most of Arabia. He took a small but well trained and disciplined army across the desert, stopping at trade posts along the way. They went to the villages, but didn't have to use force. The villages were all weary of the wars, and decided to have a ruler to govern and help them. And so it was. Hamzah moved half of Medina here, where they settled in. It started small, but grew, as the disciples of equality attracted people from all over. Eventually, he had a kingdom to rule over. And although the title of Monarchy was command driving, they were all equal. The Monarch was treated the same as the poor peasant. And in this Kingdom, no one was poor. Everyone shared everything.
"Unless you desire for your neighbor what you desire for yourself, you aren't a muslim."
"All men are equal in the eyes of god."
"A man who goes to bed with his belly full while is neighbor starves, he isn't a muslim."
"The people of other religions; the Jews with their Torah, and the Christians with their Testament and Bible, must likewise be respected, for their books likewise came from god."
"The ink of a scholar is holier in the eyes of god than the blood of a martyr. So learn to read. And when you have learned, teach!"
