Factors affecting the political employment of religious beliefs in the pre-Islamic era (The Arabian Peninsula - a model)

Abstract

The occurrence of the Arab land (represented by the Arabian Peninsula) between the Persian and Byzantine lands led to the division of the Arabs between the two empires politically and religiously. And a field of wars raging between those parties, so both the government of Persia and Byzantium rushed to exploit religious belief to influence the Arabs and attract them towards them.

Despite the efforts of Persia and Byzantium to control the Arab man and exploit him to strike their opponents, by striking their religious belief and diverting them from what they believe in, some Arab regions were not affected by that intervention and remained preserving their beliefs such as the Hijaz region, and the main reason for this is the fear of losing Its strength, as these areas depend on the beginning life, and tribal nervousness represents its most important pillars, which preserves its strength and overcoming its competitors and opponents.
