The Federal Republic of Somalia is located on the eastern coast of the African continent. The country's population is around 18 million, with 99% following Islam as their religion. Major cities of Somalia with a huge population of Muslims include Mogadishu, the capital and most populated city, Boorama, Hargeisa, and Berbera. Each city has a high population of Muslims and several mosques.
Islam is the official religion of Somalia. It was introduced in the region back in the 7th century. According to Pew research, 77% of the Muslims of Somalia are Sunni, 2% Shia, and 8% are the ones who cannot be classified as a sect. The total population of Somalia is around 18.5 million, and 99% of the population is classified as Muslim.
After the Arabs, it was the Somalis who converted to Islam back in the initial days. Zeila was a famous town that was the capital of the Adal Kingdom and Ifat Sultanate in the 13th century. In the 18th century, it was ruled by the Ottomans and the Britsh. Zeila holds a significant name in Islamic heritage.
It has the first mosque in Somalia, known as Masjid Al-Qiblatayn. The city of Mogadishu, which is now the capital city of Somalia, was known as the city of Islam and controlled the gold trade in the East of Africa for ages.
In 1961, Islam was declared the religion of the independent state of Somalia, and Arabic became the official language along with Somali. Madrasas, also known as ‘duqsi,' remain the main source of Quranic education.
In Somalia, many international and only a few local organizations operate to help and support the Muslim community of Somalia. A few of the renowned names are:
Islamic Relief: It is a charitable organization that helps improve the living standards of Muslims in Somalia and worldwide. It also provides relief funds in case of disasters.
Muslim Aid: It is also a charitable organization working to improve healthcare and education and develop underdeveloped areas in Somalia.
SARDO: Somalia Aid and Religion Development Organization supports the Christian and Muslim communities of Somalia with human rights, Intercultural dialogue, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation.
Somalian Muslims celebrate all the Islamic festivals and events. Islamic events begin with the first month of Muharram, which begins the new Islamic Year. In the last months of the Islamic calendar, Muslims of Somalia fast in the month of Ramadan, followed by Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations. In the last month of Dhul Al-Hijah, Muslims across the globe and in Somalia celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, known as the festival of sacrifice.
Somalia is a Muslim country, and only Halal food is permitted to be sold. You can find halal food and dining options everywhere in Somalia. Be it the local cuisine or international, everything is served halal. Selling and consuming pork, alcohol, and even cigarettes is prohibited in Somalia—just the different cuisines without having to worry about it being haram.
Somalia is one of the poorest countries in Africa, and the country's living standards are below par. Engage with the Muslims of Somalia to know about what support they need from the Muslims around the globe. Learn about their traditions, cultures, and also the problems they face as a poor nation.
