Islam emerged on the earth through the words of the prophet Muhammed. He brought in the concept of one God and one people. When Islam appeared on the scene in Saudi Arabia, it was a relatively modern concept. It brought in some revolutionary concepts. Some of the concepts like giving some rights to women and the idea of one god were indeed a break from prevalent ideas at that time. At that time, Saudi Arabia was steeped in obscurity and Islam as propagated by Muhammed was something fresh and modern.
