 Well, if you see the globe today, it is cluttered with the countries, smaller, bigger and very big also. But seeing all these things, seeing this cluttered world, today the world is known as global village. Such is before, starting from 6th century before Islam particularly, it was not like this. The world was rather too remote, very long distances, very small tribes, very small groups of people living together and no demarcated boundaries whatsoever. The globe or our earth was not divided as it is logically divided today, there the people lived wherever they found the food and fodder for themselves and for the animals. That was their dwelling place, that was their country, that was their state, that was everything for them. Today if you see the map, there are very clear geographic boundaries that have been marked but at that time there were no geographic boundaries that were marked because as I have already told you, the nations or the states or the countries, it was no concept over there whatsoever so there was no demarcation of boundaries where those groups of communities lived, they lived there and they would migrate whenever the divine requirement or some problems unmanageable for them would rise up so they would like to move from one place to another place. Likewise there is something very important in the world today and that is the interstate relations, well probably it absolutely was non-existent before Islam. Before Islam since there were no countries so there were no governments, there were no interests, there were no clashing interests, there were no far-fung areas known to the people and they had therefore no relations with each other obviously if there are no states from where the relations will come. Now all these things they were not done by design, they were done because the world was not developed, because the world had no technology at that time, because the world had no vested interests and fun policies in the absence of being a country, being a nation, being a state or being an absolutely separate entity that is why the world was so remote. It was very difficult to reach from east to west, well it is absolutely no problem to reach from west to east, north to south or east to west today. There are helicopters, there are aeroplanes and there are very fast moving cars and resources with the people they can move whenever they feel like and they can reach whenever they feel like. Also there are so many developments which have shrunk the world sitting in your own small little drying room, you can see a cricket or football match taking place in the United States of America sitting in the front row while being in your own drying room. At that time these things were absolutely absent. They were hardly anything except the sword, the local instruments or the local things which were required by that tribe or that community at that time.
