Answer 2

ethics- you must respect your mother. every culture and religion has this but in Islam their is a hadeeth that basically says that you have to respect your mom the most and then your father then your elders. but the mom is three times and the dad is one. it is really long so i'm not going ot write all of it.

i don't really know about other people but arabs have most of the extended family either live together or close. my dad takes care of most of his family because we live in america and they don't many muslims do that and that just isn't done in america.

women don't really have to work or clean or do much of anything based on the religion, but they do because of culture. muslim weddings are really nice, becasue their more fun than american and other western weddings. here is a video from one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrKimCM8qy4 this is in morocco it starts off kind of weird but then it is cool, here is another this is the men's party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O1HCDk5exY
this is a palestinian wedding and they are doing Dabke which is a pretty cool dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8vQVnZo7_0

all of the different kinds of muslims is cool (the cultures). you can find muslims from anywhere in the world all w/ their own unique culture

Answer 3

The best and unique custom of Muslim nation is - "submission of will to Allah" Accordingly our customs and celebrations are based on the commandment of God and his prophet.

Regional customs and cultures are different and present colourful sheds with local tastes.

Seeing is believing!
