ABSTRACT

Arab as a tribe is generally known to have originated and lived in what is known as Arabian Peninsular. Its borders later extended to what was previously known as Mesopotamia, Assyria and Phoenicia. P.K. Hitti would though believe the reverse.1 In the medieval period, the emergence of Islam in the Arabian Peninsular as a religion and ideology, made the Arab conquerors of most of the then civilized world. Arab occupies a territory larger than the United States, the region is strategically located and forms a link between three continents.2 It contains about two-thirds of the known oil reserves of the world.
