Modern Dubai Culture and Islamic Values

People from Dubai treasure their culture well through generations and this is how they have managed to have a distinct culture even in the error where many people from different parts of the world have settled and integrated with Arabs from this country. People of this region also treasure the family which is comprised of both the nuclear and extended members as well. Marriages in the family are arranged between parties and this is not prohibited in the Islamic religion.  Wedding celebrations is conducted on the Islamic platform where meals and entertainment follow the traditions of the Arabic culture.
There are also traditional sports that are still conducted in this big city such as camel competition and riding of horses. This does not in any way interfere with the religion and this is not a religious matter. Some of the things that are also similar to Islamic value include polygamy where a husband is hallowed to marry many wives and the Islamic teachings allow up to four wives. When it comes to reconciliation mechanism in Arabic culture of the people of Dubai is through mediation.
This is also advocated in the values of Islam and people are urged to employ the use of dialogue while trying to solve problems that they may have. The use of healing rituals is also common in the Arabic culture of people of this city. Although this culture is slowly dying due to the modernization of medical healing this is one aspect of culture that you will still find being practiced by people of this city. Therefore we see how culture and religion can function together and more specifically in the Arabic culture and Islamic religion.
