The Republic of Tunisia is the northernmost country of the African continent, with a total population of 12.26 million in 2021. Its official language is Arabic, and 99% of the population is Muslim. The majority of the Muslims, almost 98%, are Arabs, and this makes Tunisia a small Arab country in Africa. The country also has a very small population of Ibadi Muslims on the island of Djerba.
Muslims live across Tunisia in the majority and are significantly found in the capital city, Tunis, along with other major cities, Kairouan, Sfaz, Bizerte, Gabes, Gafsa, and Sousse. Kairouan is also known as one of the holiest cities in the country. There are around 5470 mosques in Tunisia and the city of Sfax has the highest number of mosques with 418 Jama Majids and around 88 small mosques.
In Tunisia, 98% of the total population are Sunni Muslims. The country holds a strong Islamic culture, with its way of life and traditions greatly influenced by Islamic customs. Islam was introduced in Tunisia in the 7th Century under the command of Uqba ibn Nafi. Umayyad Caliphate played a major role in spreading Islam in North African countries. Kairouan was the first city in Tunisia where Islam was introduced and is home to the Great Mosque of Kairoun, also called Mosque of Uqba, which was built in 670 AD. For these reasons, Kairoun is also known as the holiest city in Tunisia.
The cities of Tunisia, including Kairouan, Tunis, and Mahdia, are home to Islamic heritage, which includes historical buildings, mosques, palaces, and other historical sites. It is also an important location for the study of archaeology and architecture, with ruins and historical sites that reflect the Islamic heritage of the 7th century.
The Muslim women of Tunisia wear loose-fitting clothes like abaya and full-length robes, while many Muslim groups prefer wearing Western attires. The country also has a rich musical tradition, and traditional music ensembles like El-Azifet are an important part of Tunisia's cultural heritage.
Tunisian Muslims celebrate all the events in the Islamic calendar like the Muslims in other parts of the world. Like other Muslims worldwide, the Muslims of Tunisia also celebrate Ramadan by observing Fast, Taraweeh prayers, Suhoor, and Iftar throughout the month. As the moon of Shawaal is sighted, Eid-ul-Fitr, which is also known as the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast,’ is celebrated. Muslims offer Eid prayers across the country in congregations and celebrate the event with their family and friend’s gatherings. In the last month of Dhul al-Hijah, Muslims of Tunisia celebrate the festival of sacrifice, where they offer Eid prayers in congregation and sacrifice the animals. The meat is distributed among family members, friends, and less fortunate families.
