Saad Tasleem – Is There Such A Thing As Muslim Culture

			Is there such a thing as Muslim culture, Muslim Institute presents q&a with sad this leave. So back
in the day, when all the Muslim lived in one specific area, and you were surrounded by only Muslims,
we could say that the culture of those people in that place is a Muslim culture, because everyone
who practices that culture is Muslim. But in this day and age, when we're living in societies where

away from the matters that are less prohibited. Yes, we want to stay within those guidelines have a
lifespan of data. But we also have the culture of the area that we're living amongst, and actuality

culture of how you dress may differ. And all of that is what makes up our culture. So our culture is
actually fluid. And our culture is nuanced, even as Muslims
