Pre-Islamic Arabian inscriptions are a major source for understanding the history and culture of pre-Islamic Arabia with the discovery and use of material written sources (inscriptions). These inscriptions can be divided into graffiti ("self-authored personal expressions written in a public space") and monumental inscriptions, which are inscriptions whose creation would have been commissioned by the state to serve an official role.
