Arabic scales are called( maqams) and those different maqams each represent a different emotion, like sadness, nostalgia, happiness, spirituality, soul etc and to master them you need to transition between them depending on the song poem, which usually describes different emotions throughout the song. Arabic music plays on a different set of notes. It's extremely complex yet so simple.
