Comparative Religion, Institute of Religious Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Leiden, The Netherlands. Historically, trade and commerce played a crucial role in the spread of Islam. It would be very interesting o compare what was happening in Mecca before rise of Islam. Mecca was a centre of commerce and caravans from Asia to Africa passed through on a regular basis. Every first-year student knows that Mecca at the time of the Prophet was the centre of a far-flung trading empire, which plays a role of some importance in all orthodox accounts of the rise of Islam. Crone demonstrates that Islam did not originate in Mecca. The problems in early Arabic historiography are addressed more explicitly by Patricia Crone in two later monographs: (1) Slaves on Horses; (2) Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam. In her book, Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam, Dr. Mecca is located in the Hejaz region of what is today Saudi Arabia. Patricia Crone in her 1987 book "Meccan Trade and the Rise of islam" establishes that historical records show that well into the time of the Prophet, Mecca was not a center of trade at all. In Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam(1987) she made a detailed argument challenging the prevailing view among Western (and some Muslim) scholars that Islam arose in response to the Arabian spice trade. After the rise of Islam, however, the Arabic of northwest Arabia, the region of the Hijaz, became the dominant language of the Arabs, and it, along with its cognate dialects, formed the Arabic known today.
