A Man named Muhammad


Around 570 a man named Muhammad was born into an important family that lived in mecca. Muhammad’s childhood was not easy , his father a merchant , died before he was born and his mother died when he we s six. Muhammad was raised by his grandfather and later by his uncle. In muhammad’s early stage of life was travailing with his uncles caravan’s and visiting places such as syria and jerusalem. When he was grown he managed a caravan business owned by a wealthy women named Khadijah. 
Caravan business  made cretin places like mecca rich but very few people got the money it brought in. The life of a poor person was hard but normally  the rich would help the poor but muhammad grew up watching the wealthy get more and more greedy.
Concerned about the changes in mecca muhammad would often go to the hills pray and meditate but one he went cave to meditate but something amazing happened an angle appeared to him and said ‘ recite,recite’ but muhammad asked what to recite and the angle replied’ Recite in the name of your lord who created, created man from clot’s of blood! Recite your lord is the most bountiful one , who by the pen taught man what he did not know’. 
 So Muhammad started a religion which is calledIslam a believer in Islam in called a muslim. A islam believer is a monotheists. This religion believes that you should always help the poor pray five times a day go to mecca at least once in your life face mecca when you pray because supposedly abraham built a monument there so you half to pray facing it. And you have to say tuff about the god is god. And that you half to fast during the holy month of armanda .

Modern Saudi Arabia

In the 1980’s , it moves to expand the economy, the Saudi Arabia government tried to expand their agriculture division. The government hoped that soon the nation would be able to support themselves with their own food. But they knew this would be a ambitious goal because most of Saudi Arabia was a desert. But still the government and citizens had faith in this lofty idea.
This idea proved worthy because by 1998 agriculture jobs provided over 12 percent of the labor force. 
Less than 2 percent of Saudi Arabian land is fertilized meaning very little farming land. Most of the crops are grown in the southwest part of the kingdom where rain fall is common enough to sustain plant matter.  Maize and wheat are the main crops and they also harvest oil, but wheat was not worth the money it cost to grow it.
