This paper explores the current literature and history of the Arabic language and culture. It particularly focuses on cuisine, literature, art, architecture, and education in relation to culture. The history and modern implications of the origin and evolution of Arabic and its connection to Islam is also explored. Specific loanwords from Arabic to English are shown, and the direct impact of the language itself on English speakers is investigated. The impact on Western economies is also examined. All of these ideas are organized by the pursuit of knowledge to better understand Arabs in order to breakdown negative stereotypes to preserve and cultivate future relations.

Analyzed the primary resources such as the Qur'an along with several Muslim scholarly pieces of literature written by Muslim Feminists regarding Women in Islam. Interpretations of the Qur'an have been passed from generation to another, and therefore there is a strict reliance on such established interpretation that is mainly conducted by men. There is a lack of participation in women reading and interpreting the Qur'an. This is a disadvantage to the Muslim community, as it encourages interpretive cultural practices that constitute politics and power, rather than a true and authentic translation of the Qur'an as cohesive guidance for gender justice. Feminism in Islam does exist as it aligns with the Quranic principles of gender justice. Feminism was showcased in many historical movements in the following Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Yemen, and Iran. These events are important to analyze and consider to further understand the framework of Muslim feminism and how it aligns with the Qur'an. My focus was analyzing Muslim Feminist scholars, who have blueprinted a path for Muslim women to understand their role in Islam and provide an accurate interpretation of the Qur'an versus socio-cultural practices which have impacted how women in Islam are perceived and treated.
