Description
Of the human races that contributed to the ancient civilization of the world the Semitic race was one of them. The Semities occupied a special place in the history of mankind. Musa, the founder of Judaism, Isa, the founder of Christianity and Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam
were the sons of this Semitic race and the East was their homeland.
Of theses monotheistic religions, Islam is the third and the last. Arabia, the birth place of Islam, was the original home of the Semitic race. In course of time the Semitic people migrated to different parts of the Fertile Crescent and became known as the Babylonian, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians and the Hebrews (Jews) in history.
