Islam is the most common religion in the Middle East, with a regional population of over 90% Muslim. Having such a large influence in the region, Islam greatly impacts the culture there. Examples include

Food: Religion may dictate what people eat and how it’s prepared. Muslims’ religious practices forbid them from eating pork or drinking alcohol.

Clothing: Islam promotes modest dressing, so many traditional Muslims make sure to cover their bodies, especially in public. For example, women may be required to cover their faces with veils.

Language: Many people learn the Arabic language to read the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, in its original form.

Government: Muslim religious principles are part of the governmental systems and laws in most countries.

Rituals: Muslims practice certain rituals each week, such as praying 5 times a day and not working on Fridays because they are holy days.

Family: Many Muslims live in extended families, as family is seen as the foundation of society.
