Alhamdulilahi and may blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah"Muhammad", his family and companions, and his dependence until Judgment Day
Islamic culture generally derived from Qur'an and hadith's,There are variations in the application of Islamic beliefs in different cultures and traditions. [
The world was in general, and the Arabs in particular, before the mission of Muhammad, peace be upon him, in the Jahiliyyah of ignorant people and blind misguidance, so Allah sent His Prophet Muhammad, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, with guidance and the religion of truth to show it to the whole religion. He sent it to the world in general. Almighty Allah said:
(هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولاً مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمْ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ) سورة الجمعة ٢
He is the One Who raised for the illiterate ˹people˺ a messenger from among themselves—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom, for indeed they had previously been clearly astray— "Surah jumuah Ayah 2").
The knowledge of the illiterate who were fools who lived on the margins of the nations around them until they became scholars of the world,They opened hearts with the call, knowledge and the country through fighting for the sake of their country until they became masters of the world and teachers of humanity and spread knowledge and wrong faith in the east and west of the earth, and the country of Persia and the Romans fell before them. The two greatest states in the world at their time in terms of material strength and the finest civilization, but when their countries and civilizations were based on ignorance, polytheism and disbelief, they were not destined for stability and survival, and Allah’s promise that the religion of Islam would overcome on the religions of the people of the whole earth was fulfilled. Because survival of the fittest, Almighty Allah said:
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ "سورة التوبة ٣٣"
He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹true˺ guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others, even to the dismay of the polytheists."Surah Al- tawbah 33"
The culture of Islam derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah spread and continued until the Roman books became Arab during the reign of al-Ma'mun al-Abbasi, thus changing the culture of Islam among many people and creeping with it corrupt beliefs based on the science of speech and logic. But there remained among the heroes of Islamic scholars who wrestled with this perverted incoming culture until they stopped its encroachment.
On numerous occasions authors and “pundits” have wrongly attacked the religion of Islam for the cultural practices of Muslims in certain places in the world The religion of Islam does not condone and it actually condemns practices such as dishonorable “honor killings, racism or tribalism, oppression of women, banning women from obtaining an education, and many other un-Islamic practices that make their way to the sensationalized report. If a Muslim, or a Muslim-majority region, practices these despicable acts, it is not because of Islam, but despite Islam.
In a Muslim family, the birth of a child is attended with some religious ceremonies. Immediately after the birth, the words of Adhan is pronounced in the right ear of the child, In the seventh day, the aquiqa ceremony is performed in which two ram slaughter for a boy and one for a girl on the day, meat is distributed among the poor.The head of the child is also shaved, and an amount of money equaling the weight of the child's hair is donated to the poor,Apart from fulfilling the basic needs of food, shelter, and education, the parents or the elderly members of family also undertake the task of teaching moral qualities, religious knowledge, and religious practices, and many others example.
Almighty Allah said:
وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا النَّصَارَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُم بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ "سورة البقرة ١٢٠"
Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, “Allah’s guidance is the only ˹true˺ guidance.” And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah."Surah Al-baqara 120".
