Arabic and Islamic Etiquette
Islam, as is known, is the state religion in most Arab countries. Theoretically, the life of every Muslim, every action, and even his thoughts, is strictly regulated by the Quran and Sunnah. In the Muslim world, the Qur'an has always been and continues to have now a huge influence on the formation of human personality: it plays an important role in

2. in the formation of attitude toward the world as a whole;

Thus, the Coptic Christian church in Egypt under the influence of the process of Islamization has acquired some of the features peculiar to Islam: Copts can not shoot in a church hat, but very often take off their shoes when entering.
