1. Was the idea of monotheism new to the Arabian Peninsula when Muhammad started to preach Islam ? Why or why not ?

Year zero in the Islamic calendar is when Muhammad and his followers headed to Yithiah, known as Medina.
The term 'Muslim' means one who submits. The term 'umma' means a community of believers. Two ideas are connected in Islam because people who embraced the worldwide view were called Muslims, because they submitted to the will of God and became part of the umma.
Islam differs from Judaism and Christianity politically because idols were destroyed in kabba and soon was as powerful and political force in region as it was religious. Political and religious coexisted from the beginning, that there's no separate traditions of civic and religious law like there is in Christianity and Judaism.
When Muhammad started to preach Islam, the idea of monotheism was not new to the Arabian Peninsula because Arabia was a home for monotheisms like Christianity, Judaism, and a little bit of Zoroastrianism. The message that there is only one god wasn't surprising to Muhammad.
