Best Answer

As concerns Humans, Arabian is typically used to denote a Bedouin from the Arabian Peninsula or the 18th and 19th Century European perspective of Arab Civilization (i.e. the Orientalist Period). Most Arabs deeply prefer to be identified as Arabs over Arabians.

Is Yemen where the majority of Arabs come from?

All Arabs are originally from Yemen and it's known for all Arabs that "Arab's origin is Yemen" but if you mean that most Arab people are Yemenis! no they're not. The previous answer is incorrect. In Pre-Islamic Times, when the Arabs were only found in the Arabian Peninsula, Arabs were quite evenly distributed across what is now Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. (Understandably, they would be concentrated in cities and along the coast, but the percentage of Arabs in these areas was nearly identical). With the Rise of Islam, Arabs have expanded outward from the Arabian Peninsula and are now endemic in many other countries. So, no, most Arabs did not come from Yemen and today most Arabs certainly do not come from Yemen.


What do Muslims and Arabs have in common?

Arabs are people who live on or very close to the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle Eastern area between Europe and Africa. Muslims are followers of Islam, a religion that began in the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore, most Arabs are Muslim, because that is the primary religion in that area, but less than a quarter of Muslims are Arabs due to the large population of South Asian, Persian, and Indonesian Muslims. Some Arabs have other religions, and many Muslims live elsewhere in the world. Arab=Race Muslim=Religion


Are Muslims and Arabs well-educated?

Like all other groups, some are and some aren't. Also, remember that not all Arabs are Muslim and vice-versa. Islam is a religion, where as Arabian is a race.

Do Jews and Arabs have a common beginning?

According to Jewish and Arab tradition, the Jews descend from Abraham following the line of his son Isaac and the Arabs descend from Abraham following the line of his son Ishmael. So it may be said that Jews and Arabs had a common beginning. In terms of what science can tell us, while Jews have a strong genetic relationship to Levantine Arabs (Arabs in Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria), they do not have a strong genetic relationship with Arabian Arabs (who were the original Arabs and live in the Arabian Peninsula).
