Israel, officially mentioned as the State of Israel, is situated in West Asia. The total population of Israel is around 9.5 million. It is predominantly a Jewish state, with around 73.55% of the population being Jews. The second largest religion in this country is Islam. More than 18% of the total population of Israel is Muslim, which is estimated to be more than 1.7 million.
The majority of Muslims in Israel live in the Capital city of Jerusalem. Here, the Muslim population is more than 379,000, which comes to around 38% of the population of Jerusalem. The Muslim population in the old city area is even more concentrated, being 77% of the local population following Islam as their declared religion. Muslims can be found in quite a reasonable number in other cities of Israel, as well. More than 73,000 Muslims live in Rahat, whereas Nazareth and Umm al-Fahm have around 55,000 Muslims. 250,000 Muslims live in the Triangle Area (a cluster of 11 towns).
Islam can be found in almost every part of Israel. Tel Aviv, being a stronghold of Jews, is also home to around 15 to 16 thousand Muslims.
Historically, Islam was the major religion in the areas which currently form Israel. Hence, Islamic heritage can be seen frequently in these areas. The Islamic culture has an impact on the lives of the residents of Israel. The first Qibla of Muslims is also situated in Israel, known as Masjid Al-Aqsa. In the earlier days of Islam, Muslims offered prayers while facing towards this historic Mosque in Jerusalem.
There are several other Mosques in the current days' Israel, such as the Great Mosque of Ramla, White Mosque of Ramla, Mosque of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Tayibe, Mehmoodia Mosque Tel Aviv, Hassan Bek Mosque Tal Aviv, Mosque of Umar Jerusalem, Abdeen Mosque Jerusalem, and the Great Mosque of Tiberias.
The impact of Islamic culture can be noticed in the architecture of the Mosques in the entire Israel. The cultural impact of Islam is also reflected in the language. More than 20% of the total population of Israel speaks Arabic, mainly amongst the Muslims of Arabian origin.
Having a rich Islamic background, the Muslims of Israel celebrate all the main Islamic events and festivals, such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Islamic New Year. The Government of Israel officially recognizes these events as Muslim religious events. Accordingly, Muslims can observe official leaves on such Islamic occasions.
As far as the private life of Muslims, they also follow other religious obligations such as fasting in Ramadan and five daily prayers. Friday Prayers (Jumma Prayers) are also offered in congregations in the main mosques in Israel. However, at times, they are restricted from offering such congregational prayers due to political and ethnic conflicts.
