Pure monotheists, on the other hand, have always burst out of the desert, the mountains, the steppe, the waste places of the earth, where every spot is the same as every other and one God rules over all"
May Allah be glorified, He has a wisdom behind all things.
This statement truly agrees, with the story of the father of monotheism Abraham – may peace and blessings be upon him-. Who was ordered by Almighty to go to the valley of Makkah (or in biblical text Paran), found today in Saudi Arabia. It must be for a reason that the Almighty God chose that empty land, in the middle of the desert, for the launch of the pure monotheism call.
This story is recited in the Noble Quran, when God Almighty says in Chapter 14 ‘Abraham’ : Verse 35-41 :
Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.
"O my Lord! they have indeed led astray many among mankind; He then who follows my (ways) is of me, and he that disobeys me,- but Thou art indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they may give thanks.
"O our Lord! truly Thou dost know what we conceal and what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from Allah, whether on earth or in heaven.
"Praise be to Allah, Who hath granted unto me in old age Isma'il and Isaac: for truly my Lord is He, the Hearer of Prayer!
O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.
"O our Lord! cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness - me, my parents, and (all) Believers, on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!
Pure monotheists, on the other hand, have always burst out of the desert, the mountains, the steppe, the waste places of the earth, where every spot is the same as every other and one God rules over all"
