‘Islām, however, was destined for a world role. Under Muhammed’s successors, the expansionist urge of the tribes, temporarily united around the nucleus of the two sacred enclaves, coincided with the weakness of Byzantium and Persia. Tribes summoned to the banners of Islām launched a career of conquest that promised to satisfy their greed for booty and lands, With families and flocks, they left the peninsula.’*
