Arab World and the Way of Living
Reference: Brown, D. (2009). A new introduction to islam. -2nd ed. (9781405158077). 2nd ed. Singapore: Wiley-Blackwell, pp.19-32.
Thesis statement: Arab world and the way of living before and After Islam, and how Arab way of living and Islam might have influenced each other
