In this short time the Arabs were able to set in motion two processes that helpe
d to offset their political fragmentation:Arabisation and Islamization.

The Qur'an has very little to say about political authority and, although its ge

reinforcing the notion of unified political authority, there is nothing in the b

The army, like Christianity, had an acculturating effect, as we can sometimes se
e in nam- ing patterns; for example, the soldier Valens, who appears in a marria
ge contract of ad 537, has a father called al-Ubayy al-Ghubb, so probably he had
changed his name from Arabic Salih to the Latin Valens (both mean faring well) in ord
er to fit in with army life

Muslims didnt force conversion partly because the distinctiveness of the religion

This ability of the early Believers movement to incorporate many Christians and J
ews (and some Zoroastrians) is presumably why the establishment of the Believers
hegemony seems to have occurred in most areas with relatively little trauma; for
there is virtually no archaeological evidence of destruction or even of disrupt
ion to be found in the excavated sites dating from this period in Egypt, Syria,
or Iraq
