4. Understanding culture
When we talk about culture, the first thing that comes into our minds is food and clothing. However, that’s not the only thing culture is about. It is basically your lifestyle and how you perform in public, which differs from country to country. Every country is different in their own ways. However, when it comes to Islamic culture, many countries tend to be fairly similar at the same time as well. Whether it’s the food, clothing, or even the lifestyle, Islamic culture is what binds it all together in one way or another.
