Islamic Culture from a Cultural Studies Perspective

Abstract

Between the significance of the word "culture" in old Arabic dictionaries and modern Western studies, there is a knowledge gap. This research seeks to fill this gap by presenting a new definition of culture based on cultural studies.

The culture of the early Islamic community around the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the first sample for the research. From there, the research moved to defining culture by citing texts from the Holy Quran, the Prophet's Hadith, and Islamic history, focusing on the social aspects from which the definition of culture and the work of cultural studies begin.
