Countries With the Largest Muslim Populations: Islam is the world’s second-largest religion, with 1.8 billion Muslims dispersed across every continent. Due to data constraints, the most recent figures between 2020–2023 have been utilized, depending on availability per country. Africa is home to some of the fastest-growing Muslim populations. Nigeria, already the continent’s most populous country, now counts over 124 million Muslims, comprising more than half its citizens. In North Africa, Egypt and Algeria each report that roughly 95-98% of their inhabitants identify as Muslim, reflecting centuries-old cultural and religious continuity.

🌷The Navruz holiday in the East is celebrated on March 21 - the day of the vernal equinox, when Nature naturally wakes up, when the day is equal to the night and with each subsequent rotation wins back a few minutes in favor of light, when a new round of renewal begins and a New solar year begins. 🌷The origins of the Navruz holiday go back to the pre-written era of human history, when the cult of the Sun was just beginning to emerge among farmers. Navruz acquired the official status of a religious holiday of Zoroastrianism in the Achaemenid Empire around 648-330 BC. 🌷Currently, Navruz is widely celebrated as the beginning of the New Year in Iran and Afghanistan, as a public holiday in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Albania, Iraqi Kurdistan, India, Macedonia, Turkey; and also in the south of Russia: in Tatarstan, Bashkortostan. 🌷On this day, it is customary to set a festive table and treat all friends, neighbors and everyone you meet with "New Year's" dishes, the main of which are khalisa and sumalyak (they are prepared only once a year - on Navruz). 🌺Halisa is prepared from seven types of cereals with the addition of meat, and everything is boiled to a homogeneous mass. 🌺And sumalak is prepared from sprouted wheat grain with the addition of flour and sugar. They begin to cook these complex dishes on the eve of the holiday. All the women of a large family, community (in modern conditions of high-rise buildings - neighbors) gather at large boilers and take turns stirring the dish all night so that it does not burn on a wood fire.

Historical Chorsu Bazar; also called Charsu Bazaar, is the traditional bazaar located in the center of the old town of Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan. Under its blue-colored domed building and the adjacent areas, all daily necessities are sold.

Iftar, the meal that breaks the daytime fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, has made its way onto UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage. The age-old tradition was recognised by the UN’s cultural agency in its 18th session held in Botswana, following a joint application submitted by Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Iran on December 6. Iftar is associated with gatherings, “strengthening family and community ties and promoting charity, solidarity and social exchange,” UNESCO said about the custom. Across the world, Muslims fast each day for the entire month of Ramadan, abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk. The fast begins with a pre-dawn meal called “suhoor” to prepare for the long day ahead. When it’s time to mark the end of the day-long fast at sunset, families and friends gather for an evening meal known as “iftar.” It is customary to mark iftar by eating a date accompanied by tea. Recipes for dishes and pastries, however, vary greatly depending on the country. Image: DALL-E
