When appeared Islam the muruwwa remainded in the islamic society, so today it is the muruwwa still in the arab/islamic society? I mean these attributes corresponds to the ideal prototype of men now?

Salam Yasmin, You mean the word المروءة. Answering your question, Yes! Definitely yes. We still mention those characters about someone, a man or a woman, to describe their good morals. Before Islam, this trait/ character wasn't only used to describe the bedouins. This trait was given to any man/ woman, from a city, town or a bedouin living in the desert. It means this person is brave, generous, has magnanimity and a sense of honor.
