Part of the Muslim culture is their firm beliefs and values according to the Quran, which is the central religious text of Islam. Another important aspect to the Muslims lifestyle is their behavior towards language and conversation. Business, apparel, manners, and rules are also significant parts of the Muslim culture. The Quran is evidence of the literal words exposed by God through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad (IslamiCity). Muhammad remembered this diction and then verbalized it to his acquaintances (IslamiCity).
Unlike other religions that used figural images to express their beliefs, preserve them and convey them to other people , Islam has instead used different shapes and sizes of letters to do so. Throughout the years, those different letters has been known as a very important form of art in the Islamic and the Arabic world. The creativity of Arabic calligraphy was used to express many different Islamic values and religious beliefs. Those religious expressions were highly valued and respected throughout the world and were classified as a form of art which is the art of writing. In addition to that, Arabic calligraphy is also a reflection of the cultural values of the Muslim world and it symbolizes a lot of different things such as beauty, unity, and power.
Adelard’s nephew was responding to Adelard’s thoughts of Aristotle and God in the article Natural Questions. Adelard was a traveling advocate of Arabic science and also was one of the scholars who was interested in Aristotle’s philosophic, naturalistic, and empirical approaches in the medieval period. Knowing this, it is obvious that Adelard was going to view things with an incredibly knowledgeable bias. An example of this bias is when Adelard said, “It is difficult for me to talk with you about animals, for I have learned one thing, under the guidance of reason, from Arabic teachers; but you, captivated by a show of authority, are led around by a halter.” Because Adelard was a highly intelligent scholar, he looked at things in a more scientific and scholarly manner rather than in the common manner of God’s will that was popular in the medieval times. Another example of Adelard’s bias is the quote, “For why not fill up sheets of paper, and why not write on the back too, when you usually have such readers today who require no rational explanation and put their trust only in the ancient name of a title?” In this quote, it is clear that Adelard was beginning to defend Aristotle’s teachings and slightly turn his back against the “God’s Will” approach.

As is the case for most modern day scientific advances, as they found their beginning in Egypt and Mesopotamia over five thousand years ago. The remains of palaces and the pyramids show the engineering skills of these ancients. Besides these engineering skills, Egyptians devised ways of measurement which allowed each Egyptian to get his own land back following the seasonal flooding of the Nile River. The early Egyptians also had a good working knowledge of chemistry which was exhibited as they prepared metals, made wine, paints, perfumes, and cosmetics. Also, the ancient Greeks were credited with many developments that have led to modern day sciences.
This will help us to establish the terminus a quo and the terminus ad quem of the passage under study. We shall then carry out a textual criticism of the text and situate the text in its context. Having located the text within its context, we shall see how this text resonates with other passages found in the Old Testament, the New Testament and some extra biblical sources. Chapter two: In this chapter, we shall have a detailed analysis of Hosea 3:1-5; in this strain, we shall analyse the key words and discuss the meaning of the sentences of the text. This will thus lead us into seeing how the super-abundant love of God is the principal underpinning the text.
This journey is known in the Islamic calendar as the Hirja. The Islamic calendar begins in the year 622. After the death of Muhammad in 632, Muslims came together to choose a new leader or ‘khalifa’ (caliph) to be the successor of Muhammad.

The word Islam means "submission," which means reflecting the religion's central tenet of submitting to the will of God.
Ashwin Naglla HIST 3704 Professor Azimi November 10, 2010 Quran: Significance in the Lives of Muslims As early Arab conquerors spread Islam outside of Arabia, they established an expansive and rich culture. Islamic civilization soon encompassed the core Middle East and spread west to Spain and as far east to the Indus River. The Islamic world developed a common culture highly influenced by the Quran. This holy book was the root of many social and cultural norms in the lives of Muslims historically and today, including treatment of false beliefs and equality between men and women. The Quran says a lot about treatment of false belief.
Science is therefore seen by Muslims as a branch of knowledge that is connected with the oneness of God (Unal, pg 12). There are also references in the Qur’an that relate to such things as cosmology and medicine. Not only did Muhammad promote knowledge, but, so did the word of God. By then obtaining knowledge Muslims were not only basically following the word of the God but also exploring and gaining knowledge about the world He created. Two very important Islamic leaders in the sciences were Omar Khayam and Nizam al-Mulk.
