Concept
Arab Muslims
Résumé
Arab Muslims (العرب المسلمون) are adherents of Islam who identify linguistically, culturally, and genealogically as Arabs. Arab Muslims greatly outnumber other ethnoreligious groups in the Middle East and North Africa. Arab Muslims thus comprise the majority of the population of the Arab world.
Not all citizens of Arab-Muslim majority countries identify as Arab Muslims; many Arabs are not Muslim and most Muslims are of non-Arab ethnicity. Arab Muslims form the largest ethnic group among Muslims in the world, followed by Bengalis, and Punjabis.
Spread of Islam
They are descended from the early Arab tribes of Levant, Arabian Peninsula and Mesopotamia who embraced Islam in the 7th century. They carry that ethnic identity that bind ethnic, linguistic, cultural, historical and nationalist.
The word Mashriq refers to the eastern part of the Arab world.
Bedouin and
The seventh century saw the rise of Islam as the peninsula's dominant religion. The Islamic prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca in about 570 (53 BH) and first began preaching in the city in 610, but migrated to Medina in 622. From there he and his companions united the tribes of Arabia under the banner of Islam and created a single Arab Muslim religious polity in the Arabian peninsula.
Muhammad established a new unified polity which under the subsequent Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates saw a century of rapid expansion of Arab power, well beyond the Arabian peninsula in the form of a vast Muslim Arab Empire.
Levantines
The Arabs of the Levant are traditionally divided into Qays and Yaman tribes, back to the pre-Islamic era and was based on tribal affiliations and geographic locations; include Banu Kalb, Kinda, Ghassanids, and Lakhmids. On the eve of the Rashidun Caliphate's conquest of the Levant in the 7th century, Arab tribes largely migrated to Levant and Upper Mesopotamia with the Muslim armies in the mid-7th century.
Egyptians
The caliphate also allowed the migration of Arab tribes to Egypt.
