An investigation on Jews cultural influence on Islamic community after the holy prophet (pbh)

Jews presence in Arabian Peninsula dates back to the pre Islamic era. It seems that they had frequently been migrating to the region. Having no evidence of the existence of scholarly Jews among Arabs, which points to the illiteracy comparing to their counterparts in other regions, yet they greatly influenced on Arab society. In Islamic era, although Jewish scholars had no considerable interaction with the holy Prophet as for having lesser knowledge, after the demise of the prophet Muslims dealing with the new Jew converters (Ahbar) inject no good elements from Jewish culture to the Islamic body. In early stages of Islamic civilization, however, Muslims made mutual interaction with the conquered inhabitants including Jewish scholars. This research argues that the different degrees of knowledge existed among Arab and non- Arab Jews led to the bilateral effect on Islamic culture. The findings show the subversion of some Islamic teachings in early Islamic era. In early stages of Islamic civilization, however, there was a mutual interaction between Muslims and Jewish scholars.
