This is a question whose answer has filled books and lecture halls for centuries. Indeed, this question also requires a more thorough answer than one can easily provide in a simple blog post. Nonetheless, today we attempt to give you an overview of the more common traits that make up an Arab. It is therefore hoped that the reader will use this information to gain a better understanding of the Arabic language, <a href=\"https:\/\/kaleela.com\/blog\/inside-arab-cultures-how-are-the-structures-of-arabic-houses\/\">Arab culture<\/a> and Arab character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5d0a35766579464ca7706b5039d2ff94\" id=\"h-arab-character\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Arab Character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Greek Philosopher Heraclitus once said that \u201ccharacter is destiny\u201d. If that is indeed the case, then we start our journey today with the Arab destiny. There are many facets which make up the character of a people, and Arabs are no different. However, there can be no doubt that Islam plays the most important role in developing the character of an Arab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b53207256fd3c50c3824429f4e95aad6\" id=\"h-islamic-culture-and-arab-character\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Islamic Culture and Arab Character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the West values the individual, the East values teamwork to reach a common goal. However, in between these two, is the Middle East and Islam which sort of adopts both sets of values. That is, Islam stresses individual virtues that are jointly expressed as works of the divine. In other words, Arabs place value on submission and unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Arab culture, Muslims should submit to Allah and the laws of their holy book, the Quran. &nbsp;These laws, revealed by divine will, cover a whole host of actions of everyday Muslim life. As a result, each Muslim must be thankful and show respect for the general guiding principles expressed within their holy book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of what Muslims believe also entails complete submission to the will of God and his mercy. In Islam each Muslim stands alone in their direct relationship to God. This comes with the promise of peace to those who walk the straight path shown in the Quran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the Quran, Arab Muslims are also guided by the rules and advice of Hadith. These are a collection of sayings of Prophet Muhammad that guide Muslims on everyday issues ranging from child rearing to prayer. Further, the everyday life of Arab Muslims is divided into prayer and Quran recitation. As a result, one can see how it affects the character of Arabs living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9298a2a8ea0b438ff70fab7286a5e10b\" id=\"h-bedouin-culture-and-arab-character\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Bedouin Culture and Arab Character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with Islam, Bedouin culture also greatly affects Arab character. This is partly due to having to live in harsh desert climates. Even today, you can find Bedouins roaming the deserts of the Middle East. They lead a life of nomads, living in tents, and eking out a living as herding sheep or trading. If nothing else, this way of life has taught them how to become more self-reliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, living as Bedouin doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s as simple as it seems. That is, Bedouins have rather complex ideas when it comes to Arab loyalty, hospitality, and revenge. However, out of all these, it\u2019s hospitality that they\u2019re most famous for. Evidence of this is shown through Bedouins often sacrificing their best lambs for their dinner guests. And these days, throughout the Arab world, it\u2019s that same hospitality that\u2019s still a part of the modern Arab personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-61a90a020c8971222b3b15de2e95c95a\" id=\"h-hospitality-in-the-arab-world\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Hospitality in the Arab World<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no more sacred duty to an Arab than being hospitable. Thus, whether it\u2019s traveler or stranger, Muslim or non-Muslim, all are treated as \u201cguests of Allah\u201d in the Middle East. &nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed, as a guest of an Arab, you will be greeted with warm welcomes and given the best spot at the table. Even the poorest of hosts will treat their guest to a feast featuring the family\u2019s finest sheep. What\u2019s more, Western travelers lucky enough to be guests of an Arab say they\u2019ve seen nothing like Arab hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this hospitality began in the Arabian deserts where guests are few and far between. Still, there is a karmic \u201cdo unto others\u201d belief here where you should help someone because you never know. You just might need help yourself someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, this idea even reaches into villages where special guest house just for visitors exist. Also, in cities, the more hospitable a host or hostess is, the higher their status is likely to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing to note is that an Arab is obliged to honor hospitality even over concerns about time.&nbsp; That is, you may find an Arab spending hours sharing tea with a stranger. This is true even if he or she risks be late for another commitment with family or friends. Thus, keep in mind that, should you get an invite to an Arab\u2019s house, it\u2019s rude to refuse the offer. In the end, allow for some room for your host to save face if you absolutely cannot make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c2b7a00083c48afa834305e7e58490e\" id=\"h-honor-and-shame-in-the-arab-world\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Honor and Shame in the Arab World<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of saving face, Arabs, and chiefly men, hold honor in very high regard. To an Arab, nothing is more important than the honor of their Arab family and especially their Arab women. They will surely do whatever it takes to preserve both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps equally as important as honor, however, it the idea of saving face. Never shame an Arab in public.&nbsp; They will consider it an attack on their honor and seek vengeance. Indeed, for an Arab, there is nothing more painful than losing their dignity. To an Arab of honor, it is better to refuse to suffer in shame and die in dignity. In other words, it\u2019s better to prevent this and make a friend than to suffer from regret by making an enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a07ef23b81db419c71f1f96566ba6592\" id=\"h-friendship-and-personal-space\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Friendship and Personal Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arabs are a very friendly and sociable lot. They like to be around others. What\u2019s more you won\u2019t often find Arabs looking for a little \u201calone time\u201d.\u00a0 They find that a bit strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Arabs love a good conversation. Indeed, Arab men love nothing more than to sit around a caf\u00e9 drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and chatting. Likewise, you\u2019ll often find Arab women chatting with family and friends at their homes. Sometimes raising their voice, it may seem like their having a debate rather than a little chat. However, rest assured this is normal for Arabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also important to note is that friendships are often based on a \u201cgive and take\u201d relationship. Remember that honor thing? Well, the worst possible way to betray an Arab friend is to refuse a request for a favor. Thus, if an Arab friend asks you for something, you should never refuse. A simple \u201cI\u2019ll try, my friend\u201d will suffice if you\u2019re unsure whether you can carry out their request or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, Arabs you\u2019re friend will find it very difficult to tell you \u201cno\u201d if you ask them for a favor. What you\u2019ll most likely get is an <em>inshallah<\/em> (\u201cGod willing\u201d), which means \u201cmaybe\u201d in many Arabic communities. As a Westerner, this answer may confuse you. Nonetheless, take it as a \u201cno\u201d and be pleasantly surprise if it turns out it was a \u201cyes\u201d after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, these are just a few of the common traits that most Arabs share among one another. It should be noted that this doesn\u2019t mean that ALL Arabs act in this way. As many Arabs say: \u201cNot all fingers on the hand are the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cd436ed59589cfc16c9e50c8d1d97ef3\" id=\"h-learn-more-with-kaleela\" style=\"color:#44beeb;font-size:24px\"><strong>Learn More with Kaleela<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to know more about Arabs, their culture and their language, then head over to our website now.&nbsp; There you\u2019ll find engaging articles on Arab culture, dialects, and just about everything Arab.
