The city of Sokode in Togo has around 70% of the population practicing Islam. Other cities with comparatively high populations of Muslims living in Togo include Lome, Kara, Dapaong, Kpalime, Mango, Bafilo, and Atakpame. All these cities also have mosques to cater to Muslim worshippers and serve as central places for worship, religious gatherings, Islamic education, and other religious events.
Muslim traders introduced Islam in the 18th century. The majority of Muslims are Sunni Maliki school of thought, while others are Shia and Ahmadiyya. The ethnic group Hausa Mande and Fulani traveled across West Africa, spreading the religion in different parts. Most Islam spread during the French rule over West Africa and settled in many countries like Togo, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
Sufism is believed to emphasize the spiritual and inner aspects of the religion, and therefore, Sufi practices such as dhikr in groups and seclusion are common in Togo. People also wear amulets and charms for protection and blessings, and many visit tombs of Sufi saints believed to have healing powers.
Having a moderate population of Muslims living in the country, Togo has several Islamic community services and organizations working for the benefit of the Muslim community. The largest organization overseeing Islamic affairs in Togo is The Federation of Togo Muslims. It runs schools that teach French and Arabic and has established an Islamic Center and Muslim Academy.
Muslims of Togo celebrate all the major events in Islam. Ramadan is celebrated by observing fast for the entire month and focusing on worship, like offering Taraweeh, a special prayer in Ramadan. Eid-ul-Fitr, also called Korite in Togo, is observed on the 1st Shawaal, marking the end of Ramadan.
Later in the last month of the Islamic calendar, Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated by sacrificing animals and distributing them among family, friends, and the poor. Eid-ul-Adha is also known as Tabaski in West Africa, and people who can afford to perform Hajj can do so by visiting the Holy City of Makkah.
You can find diverse cuisines in Togo, but searching for the halal one is easy in Muslim-dominant cities like Lome and Sokode. It's always best to inquire about the Halal status of food and look for Halal certificates to ensure the meal is prepared according to Islamic dietary laws.
