Yemen is the second largest Country in the Arabian Peninsula after Saudi Arabia. It is situated in the West Asia. Its population is around 34.5 million. It is a Muslim majority Country. More than 99% of the total population of Yemen follow Islam as their declared religion. More than 65% of the total Muslim population follows Sunni Islam, whereas around 35% belong to the Shia community, predominantly the Zaydis.
Islam reached Yemen during the lfie time of the Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ, in 630 CE, when Hazrat Ali رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ completed the conquest of Yemen. The Great Mosque of Sanaa and another Mosque at Janad were built during the early days of Islam in Yemen. Sanaa is the Capital of Yemen. Other prominent cities of Yemen are Adan, Taizz, Hudayda, Zabid, Dhamar, Zinjibar, and Mukallah. All these cities have the vast majority of Muslim population.
Islam was introduced in Yemen in the early days of Islam, in 630 CE. Since then, Yemen has been a majority Muslim Country. Even the first Mosque in its Capital, Sanaa, was built during the 7th Century, known as the Great Mosque of Sanaa. Apart from the historic Great Mosque of Sanaa, various other Mosques and Islamic Institutions can be found in Yemen.
Some famous and historic Mosques of Yemen are Aidrus Mosque, Al-Muhdhar Mosque, Queen Arwa Mosque, Sufyan Mosque, Al-Hadi Mosque, and Al-Saleh Mosque. Al-Bakariyya Mosque, built during 1597-97 CE in Sanaa, is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the old city of Sanaa. Similarly, the Great Mosque of Sanaa, Al-Mahdi Mosque, and Al-Ashaiyer Mosque are also included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Since the conquest of Yemen during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ, Yemen remained a part of the first Islamic State. It remained a province of the Islamic State of Medina during the era of the Rashidun Caliphate. The subsequent Caliphates also maintained the status of Yemen till the early 9th Century CE, when Yemen was disassociated from the Caliphate and went under the control of local dynasties. However, Islam remained the major religion throughout the history of Yemen. Hence, the Islamic Cultural heritage is deeply rooted in Yemen. Muslim culture is reflected in Yemen's literature, arts, architecture, and entertainment activities.
As customary with other Islamic Countries, Yemen also celebrates the major Islamic Events and Festivals such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and fasting in Ramadan on a National level. Other major Islamic events like the new Islamic Year on the 1st of Muharram and the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِۦ وَسَلَّمَ on 12th Rabi Al-Awwal are also celebrated in Yemen. The Ashura on the 10th of Muharram is also observed in Yemen, though restricted to the Shia community.
Nationwide holidays are observed on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in Yemen. Five daily prayers are a popular norm, while Friday Prayer (Salat al-Jumma) is also recited with religious fervor. Similarly, fasting during the month of Ramadan is also a significant activity across Yemen. Despite recent regional and internal conflicts and the continued state of unrest, Islam still has its roots in the daily lifestyle of the Yemenites.
