Islamic Identity

Islamic identity refers to the sense of self and belonging that individuals experience as part of the global Muslim community, or Ummah. It encompasses shared beliefs, practices, and values derived from the teachings of Islam, including the Quran and the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). This identity can be shaped by cultural, historical, and social factors, leading to diverse expressions of faith. For many, it involves daily practices such as prayer, fasting, and charity, as well as a commitment to moral principles and social justice, fostering a sense of unity among Muslims worldwide, despite differences.
