Before becoming Muslim,the Arabs were largely idols worshippers and did not believed in life after death.More than 300 idols, dedicated to the various deities and are mostly made of wood, were removed from the Kaabah,when Mecca was handed over to the Muslims.
There were also a handful of Hanifah(the followers of the religion of Abraham) and Nazorean Christians .The name of Allah was too familiar to the pre-Islamic Arabs may it be the Idols Worshippers,the Hanifah or the Christians as they are using the same name when ascribing to their God.
Islam has successfully maintain Allah worship less idolatory to the Arabs.

Archaeology and historic previous shows us that the religion of the pre-Islamic Arabs became pagan. In historical situations pagans such because of the fact the Babylonians,Assyrians,Canaanites;and so on worshiped the moon god. The pagan Arabs embraced moon god worship. They worshiped 360 idols on the Ka'bah in Mecca. The call of the administrative deity became al'ilah meaning "the god". Allah is a contraction of al'ilah. Allah became already being worshiped in Mecca in the previous Muhammad even got here alongside. Even archaeological findings have been discovered to coach that Allah in pre-Islamic situations became married to the sunlight-goddess and produced 3 daughters.whilst Muhammad destroyed those idols in Mecca,all it left became a god that the pagan Arabs already knew approximately. Muhammad or the Arabs by no capacity suggested any component with regard to the God of the Bible who's call in Arabic isn't "Allah",yet in Arabic "Yahuwah"

They were pagan and idol worshiping Bedouins/nomads in the pre-Islamic days. Not all wanted to embrace Islam. They had to do it due to some difficult circumstances. In the Arabian peninsula they had a choice to accept Islam or face death. Most opted for the former.

There is a little box in the upper right corner of the text box that
reads "Check spelling". If you click on this with your left mouse
button it will let you know where possible spelling errors occur.
Try using it so that your question doesn´t look as if it was written by someone with an intellect only rivaled by garden tools.
