Theorists emphasize that social institutions exist because they perform five essential tasks: replacing members; teaching new members; producing, distributing, and consuming goods and services; preserving order; and providing and maintaining a sense of purpose.

functional theorists

Explanation:

Functional theorists believe that every single members of the society have their own functions and they are dependent upon one another. For a society to be successful, Every single members of the society need to fulfill their role.

To guarantee this, society tend to create social institutions to act as the regulator and enforcer (i.e : the government)

The instituions have 5 essential task :

replacing members;

Sometimes a member will become too old to fulfill his/her role. The institutions need to replace that member with a younger one.

teaching new members;

This is achieved through education (school and universities are good example for this.) They teach people new skills that can be used to fulfill their role)

producing, distributing, and consuming goods and services;

Doing all these things will keep the economy going and gradually improve the quality of life of the citizens.

preserving order

This function is aimed to keep the members safe from threat. They need to punish the members of society who hurt other members (criminals)

providing and maintaining a sense of purpose.

They need to inform the members regarding the things that they wish to achieve in the future. This will maintain a sense of purpose among the members.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
