Summary/Abstract: No work in human history left a deeper trace, nor did one event so strongly influenced the change in the course of history as was the case with the beginning of the publication of the Qur’an. In addition to translating the pagan, pre-Islamic Arabs from such a spiritual state into a state of pure monotheism, which, almost not being recorded, the Qur'an also made a powerful influence on culture and society on the Arabian peninsula. With his ideas of pure monotheism, moralistic perceptions and the idea of Islamic fraternity, the Qur’an managed to change the matrix in which the former Arab man worked. By analyzing the poetry of the early Roman emperors in general, and Assana ibn Abita in particular, this new approach is observed, where the poet does not defend more of his tribe, as was the case in the pre-Islamic. This poetry already emphasizes a new rivalry on the Muslim pagan line. While the ancient poet often defended himself or his tribe against the rival, or against the rival tribes, the new polarity revealed in Assana's poetry is that between the believers and their enemies.
