Did Islam help spread Arabic culture?

Answer 1

Islam was usually transmitted with a number of Arab cultural norms, such as the Arabic language, Arab merchantry, Arab values, Arab clothing, Arab artistry, and Arab social organization (tribalism). This modified most of the cultures under Arab hegemony and, in the case of the North African Amazigh, the Egyptian Copts, the Phoenicians, Arameans, Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Judeans, it led to such an erosion of their indigenous culture, that those among them that converted to Islam were said to have performed "Ta3arib" (تعريب) or Arabization. In the case of Spain, northern Spaniards noted how Christians in southern Spain took on many of these Arab affectations and called them mozárabes, which is the corruption of the Arabic "most3arab" (مستعرب) which is a derivative of "Ta3arib".
