The most of the mosques are for worshippers. Mosques are everywhere in UAEĭubai has mosques at every corner of the City, not only in Dubai but everywhere in the Emirates.
In fact, you have no excuse – if you’re a Muslim – to skip your five times daily prayers in UAE since prayer rooms are available everywhere you intend to visit. In UAE, there are Muslim prayer rooms in every building, malls, hypermarkets, in every industrial premise, labour camps, bus stations, public places, airport, or alike. Non-Muslims are also advised not to eat, drink or to smoke in public they can eat or drink privately at home or closed hotel restaurants. In Dubai, many restaurants are not working during daylight in the holy month Ramadan. UAE is an Islamic country where Dubai culture is not much differing than Arab-Islamic culture. Ramadan, the holy month, is for prayers, fasting, and charity. But, there is no requirement to wear hijab or abaya for foreign women where signs are restricting. You could see at some places the sign at the entrance to dress modestly, also the instructive signs to dress modestly in some organisations if you’re working there. Therefore, Emiratis, both men, and women are feeling proud of their national attires. Islam has obligated to both men and women to cover themselves modestly. “So as cultural transmitters, abaya-wearing women’s appearance is more regulated and judged in line with Islamic and traditional practices.” IMAGE CREDIT: Michael Coghlan/Flickr Signs at Malls to dress modestly Images of women are representing the nation – an example is woman as mother and protector of cultural values, TheNational.ae adds. Try necking in public or drinking in public and you’ll find out for yourself what this means. Emiratis people are feeling proud of their national attires, Emiratis are both men and women, they’re seen in traditional Arab attires, they are Muslims and very strict about Islam.
Islam is deeply rooted in the fabric of Dubai and the whole UAE societies. Islamic law are practicing in Dubai and in the UAE judiciries. And, the labourer class is the majority of expatriates in the UAE and expats have an enormous impact on the UAE in term of language and lifestyle. If Emiratis are bosses of migrant workers, they’re forced to speak Hindi or Urdu to communicate with the migrant labour force. Migrant unskilled workforce does not even speak English. The majority of migrants are from the Indian subcontinent – mostly from India – they’re non-Arabic speakers and largely unskilled workforce. The majority of people are migrants from all over the world. The citizens – means UAE nationals – are minority community in Dubai and all other six Emirates of UAE. Arabic is becoming a second or third language.” TheNational.ae adds.ĭubai has around 2 million population, and it continues to rise. “Actually it’s English that’s their mother tongue. “We have a generation of students from an Arab background who are not fluent in their mother tongue,” said Mazen Al Sheikh, Director of Arabic at the American School of Dubai. Emirati Arab population is less than 14% in Dubai they’re are fearing that Arabic is at risk of becoming the foreign language in its own country – if schools in the UAE will teach Emirati students in English medium rather than Arabic medium. Also, there are few Arabs in Dubai who are non-Muslim.
The actual problem in Dubai is that majority of Muslims are non-Arab – mostly from the Indian subcontinent who speaks Hindi and Urdu – they do not speak Arabic. Arabic is at risk as Arabs are minority in UAE Due to the impact of the influx of migrant workers, the language they speak is also widely spoken in Dubai. They speak Hindi, Urdu, and English in some cases. Dubai has an influx of foreign workers and residents, the majority of immigrants are from the Indian subcontinent. Arabic is the official language of all Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, but English is also widely used for businesses. Dubai is the UAE’s largest city you will hardly get in touch with anything in Arabic in Dubai unless there is anything relevant to the religion. Arabic is the language in which Qur’ân al-Karîm has revealed, and Islam has interpretation.
