Muslim Culture!
Laura Dobe Block 4
MUSLIM CLOTHING Many Muslims wear modest clothing. Common features include plain dark blue, black, and grey. One type of clothing is a Hijab. A Hijab is usually a square or rectangular piece of cloth that is folded for a head scarf. An Abaya is a cloak worn by women in the Arabian Gulf countries. A Chador is a longer cloak like the Abaya only it is not fastened in the front. A Thobe is a long robe usually worn by Muslim men.
Muslim Food Do's and Don't Muslims do not eat the pig, dog, donkey, carnivores, monkeys, cats, lions, frogs, crocodiles, turtles, worms, flies, cockroaches, owls, and eagles . These foods are called Haram. To Muslims fasting is important. It's a way to earn approval of Allah.

Official Muslim Language: The official language is Arabic. Many believe that Arabic is the only way the Qur'an should be read. "There are many Arabic dialects. Classical Arabic – the language of the Qur'an – was originally the dialect of Mecca in what is now Saudi Arabia. An adapted form of this, known as Modern Standard Arabic, is used in books, newspapers, on television and radio, in the mosques, and in conversation between educated Arabs from different countries (for example at international conferences).
