Islam was introduced in Zambia through Arab traders who entered the region through Malawi and Tanzania. Zambia was under British colonial rule till 1964, when it gained independence. During the colonial era, many Muslims migrated from the Indian subcontinent, adding up to the number of Muslims in Zambia. It was in the 1970s when the Muslims of Zambia began to create organizations that represented the Muslims of the state.
The majority of the Muslims are Sunni, and only a few belong to the Shia and Ahmadi sects. Most Muslims are immigrants from India, West Africa, and the Middle East. Only a few Muslims are the natives who converted to Islam. There are around 115 mosques in Zambia today, representing the freedom Zambia gives religious communities.
Muslims of Zambia celebrate all the Islamic festivals. They celebrate the Islamic New Year on the 1st of Muharram, followed by the birth of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) on the 12th Rabbi-Awwal. They fast for the entire month of Ramadan and celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr after completing 29 to 30 fasts, depending upon the sighting of Shawaal’s moon. Zambian Muslims also sacrifice animals, distribute them, and celebrate the feast among family and friends during the last month of the Islamic calendar, Dhil-Hajjah.
Muslims reflect the minority group in Zambia but are growing in number. Halal dining options are there, especially in the cities where Muslims are in significant numbers. It's best to always check for the Halal certificate issued by any Islamic institute in Zambia to ensure you are eating Halal food prepared according to the law and principles of Islam.
Since Lusaka is the capital with the most Muslims, it has a good list of Halal restaurants serving international and national cuisine. The Royal Dil serves halal Indian and Asian food, Dil Restaurant serves Asian and Indian food, and Cremosa serves Lebanese food. Indian restaurants serving authentic Indian food can be found in good numbers.
