ARAB-MUSLIM CULTURE IN THE DISCOURSE OF ISLAMIC STUDIES HISTORIOGRAPHY

Abstract

The Arab–Muslim world is a civilizational entity united through the League of Arab States, rooted in profound historical and cultural realities. It combines Islamic traditions, pre-Islamic heritage, as well as literary, scientific, and artistic achievements. The uniqueness of this culture lies in the synthesis of religion. The term “Arab-Muslim culture” is historiographically justified through the study of its genesis, including the influence of the Arabic language and Islamic dogmatics. Foreign Islamic studies emphasize its multidimensionality, avoiding reduction to a purely religious context. Recommendations for the use of the term suggest focusing on the interaction between local traditions and universal Islamic values. A detailed study of this phenomenon is essential for overcoming stereotypes and resolving ethno-confessional conflicts, which is particularly important in the context of global interest in the region. The work summarizes approaches to defining culture, proposing its consideration as a dynamic system that unites the past and the present.
