Muslim Culture

[raho]

Muslim culture represents the unification of all the cultures influenced by common beliefs and practices. The guiding religious phenomena and cultural aspects bind its people historically. The religious practices and beliefs of Muslims are centered around the religion of Islam. The original Muslim literature is in Arabic, the prophet's language. Most of the literature is religious in nature. It comprises communication and documentation of the belief system from the Qur'an, Sirah and Hadith. Secular Muslim literature developed in the Umayyad empire. It was taken by the Arabs to distant lands and became part of a popular culture. In due course of time, Persian became one of the main languages of the civilization. In the sub-continent, syncretist poetry from the Sufis propagated the foundations of Muslim culture.

It is difficult to talk about a single Muslim culture, people have their own native cultures, too. They are affected by Islam as well, but people carry their native cultures.
