  15. Comparison • The spread of Islam had various impacts on North Africa and Spain; however, both resulted in Islamic Caliphates and leaders taking control as well as the spread of Arabic culture throughout both regions. Muslims had control in Spain during the 8th century which allowed them to practice their faith freely, and over time allowed them to gain religious tolerance over Christians and Jews. Islam was introduced to Africa during the 600s and rapidly spread through Northern Africa and after a few centuries later, Almost the entire population of Northern Africa was converted to Islam. In North Africa, the leader or Caliphate was also Muslim (Shiite). • Islam allowed for Arabic culture to spread throughout both regions and beyond. In Spain as Muslims rose to power, they could freely spread their culture throughout Spain. Several hundreds of Mosques were built by the 10th century along with numerous madrasas or Islamic schools and Libraries. Islamic art and architecture was also portrayed under their rule over Spain. In North Africa as Islam spread through Africa so did Arabic culture. The Islamic golden age also bought advancements in literature, law, philosophy, science, and sociology. Arabic culture dominated North Africa. For example, music was introduced specifically in the drums. Although both Spain and North Africa were different regions, Arabic culture managed to spread rapidly throughout both regions along with the spread of Islam.

  16. Change Over Time • At the beginning the Arabs are starting to set up their areas and conquer more land while spreading their religion of Islam • Most of Spain is captured by the Spain's and when they try to go deeper into the middle of Europe they kept on getting kicked out. • The different Empires start to be broken up into and other new empires like the Ottomans rise up into power. • Not really much change in how the Ottomans take power mostly by force and conquering • Islam is mainly spread in the middle east and North Africa and these regions have heavy concentrations of Muslims

  17. Uses in the Modern World • The development of Arab media today was between the ideological wars between capitalism and communism. • The Arabic language can now be classified into three distinct groups: Classical Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, and Colloquial language. • Classical Arabic is language of the Qur’an and this is only used for religious purposes.MSA is a version of the classical language but it has been influenced by foreign languages. This is used as the universal language of the Arab world. Colloquial language varies from each country. • The majority of Arabs in the world are Muslims.

  18. Uses in the Modern World • The Arab world is full of rich and diverse communites, groups, and cultures. • Today Sunni Islam dominated most of North Africa. Shia Islam is dominant in southern Iraq, Bahrain, and Lebanon. • The Arabic language has various dialects. These vary between the countries. • Most Muslims don’t speak Arabic. Instead they only know a few fixed phrases for Islamic prayer. • Iraq is the only democracy in the Arab World. • Arabic literature is produced in prose and poetry by speakers of the Arabic language.
