Abstract
This paper reads the texts used by Ibn Bassam Al-Shantarini in his book The Stored Stuff in the Goodness of Arabia People in order to uncover the religious foundation of his criticism as when he detests behaviors in readings the texts he selected for study. Some of his letters shows more than once his longing to visit holy places and his deep religious belief. The ultimate aspect of the use of religion as cultural pattern manifests itself in the shaping of the individual's behavior and this is the core of Ibn Bassam's literary research.
