Turkmenistan is a landlocked country situated in Central Asia. It is predominantly a Muslim country, with more than 93% of the population following Islam. The total population of Turkmenistan is more than 7 million. Muslims form the dominant majority in Turkmenistan; hence, their presence can be seen in almost every part of the Country. Ashgabat is the Capital and the largest city in Turkmenistan, with a population of around 727,000.
Turkmenabat is the second largest city in Turkmenistan with a population of 235,000. Other cities like Dasoguz, Mary, Balkanabat, and Bayramaly have less than 100,000 population. All these cities consist of most of the population following Islam as their declared religion. The Turkmen feel proud to declare themselves as Muslims readily.
The traits of Islamic Culture and Heritage are as old as the era of the Rashidun Caliphate of Islam. Islam was introduced in Turkmenistan during the second Caliph Hazart Umar رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ and further consolidated during the caliphate of third Caliph Hazrat Usman رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ. Since then, Islam has been the core religion of the majority of the Turkmen people.
Despite the restrictions on religious activities during the era of Soviet Russia (USSR), Islamic culture could not be eliminated. Immediately after the independence from USSR, Islam re-emerged as the major religion of Turkmenistan. Mosques were allowed to re-open after the independence. The religious activities were restored after independence but with tight state control. Despite all that, Islam emerged as the major religion of Turkmenistan.
We can find the impact of Islamic culture on all walks of life, including lifestyle, architecture, literature, and entertainment. There are so many mosques and Islamic educational institutes in almost every part of the Country.
The impact of Islam can also be noticed in the politics of Turkmenistan. The Presidential Oath is traditionally administered on the Quran. The political leaders of Turkmenistan also like to display their affiliation with Islam by performing Pilgrimage and participating in other Islamic events. However, officially, the country follows a secular type of state, ensuring religious freedom for all, as visualized in their Constitution.
Islamic festivals and events are religiously celebrated in Turkmenistan. The country observes Islamic events and festivals on a national level. Holidays are observed on key Islamic events such as Eid al-Fitr, Oraza Bayram, and Eid al-Adha, Kurban Bayram. The Turkmen people observe both these days with religious passion, in their local cultural style but also observing the Islamic norms. Fasting during Ramadan is also followed, as is done in other Islamic nations.
Apart from these special occasions, Turkmen perform Hajj and other religious rituals. The Muslims frequently offer five daily prayers. Similarly, recitation of the Quran is also a common practice among the Muslims in Turkmenistan.
