Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Early Arab asylums were established to provide the mentally ill with a safe haven. This was in contrast to the earlier practice of restraining or stoning the mentally ill, as Islam taught that all humans should be treated with kindness and compassion. The idea was to provide a place for those who were unable to care for themselves and to offer basic care and comfort. It was not until later that medical and therapeutic interventions were introduced.
