ings the law of polygamy up to four wives was given at a time when there was no way for a woman to support herself if she was not married and a great many more females than males it is considered by moat scholars that mohamed opened the way to monogamy when he also stated if you cannot deal equitably and justly with more than one wife jou shall marry only one mrs frost discussed the con diuon of life at the time of mohamed s birth mecca and medina at that time were in 8 state of barbarism there was constant fighting among the tribes travelling was hazardous the extreme ending some times in being sold into slavery drunken orgies incessant gamb ling blood feuds baby daugh tors were often buncd alive in infancy the position of women was intolerable and the religion of the arabs consisted in the worship of 360 idols in the temples of mecca mohamed orphaned at an early age became an agent con ducting caravans across the des ert to syria becoming known as the trusted one because of his integrity many times monanijj centre amed would retire to a cave in the mountains to reflect on life and the problems of the day it was during one of these medita uons that the first intimation of his

an the holy book of the mos lems states there must be no compulsion in religion war was to be fought to suppress tyranny insure the right of a man to his home and freedom within his nation prevent per secution in religion and gua- entee freedom of belief to all people it is interesting to note that some of the rules of warfare have since been adopted over 1300 yearn later by the geneva convention the teachings of mohamed enjoin nations to re gard their treaties as sacred to make every effort to avoid war through arbitration to not en gage in surprise attacks before war is declared to not harm civilians to give safe conduct to an enemy within the borders at the time of war to treat with mercy any prisoner captured as to individual behaviour muslims must pray five times e day believe in but one god and mohamed as his prophet fast from sunrise to sunset one month a year be charitable and if possible make a pilgrimage to mecca there is no racial problem under islam as each person is
