The options that correctly describe cultural practices of the Byzantine and Arab empires is <em>The Byzantine Empire created mosaics of religious figures, whereas the Arabs prohibited religious art; </em>and <em>The Byzantine government was based on Greco-Roman Law, whereas the Arab government was based on Sharia law.</em>
A unique practice in the Orthodox Church is the decoration of churches with mosaics portraying religious figures taken from The Bible. However, a fundamentalist religious movement called <em>Iconoclasm </em>emerged within the Byzantine Empire in the ninth century with the goal of banning the worshiping of religious figures (icons; from Greek εἰκονο, <em>eikono, </em>image).<em> </em>Even though this doctrine was short-lived, it proved both costly and bloody for the empire. On the other hand, the worshiping of images by the Arabs was prohibited as Muhammed spread the word of Islam in the mid seventh century. In fact, Islam prohibited the depiction of any living thing, just like the First Commandment in the Jewish Ten Commandments.
As of law, the Byzantine empire preserved the Greco-Roman law tradition as the surviving portion of the Roman Empire whose Western part fell in 476 A.D. However, up to that moment laws had not been coded in writing, which prompted Byzantine Emperor Justinian to create a legal code bearing his name in the sixth century. In contrast, the Arabic Empire was ruled through <em>Sharia (divine law </em>in Arabic), or the law stemming from the sacred book of Islam, <em>Quran</em>.
It resulted in the establishment of the legislative body known as the English parliament. The Magna Carta affected the development of a national identity in England because it was what limited the king and the pope's powers. One example is that the king had to obey the laws of the people so that he could not become too powerful.
