Khoja Traditions

Khoja traditions refer to the cultural and religious practices of Khoja Muslims, a community primarily of Gujarati descent with roots in India and East Africa. Their traditions blend Islamic faith with local customs, emphasizing communal worship, endogamy, and pilgrimage practices like Hajj. They also uphold specific rituals, dress codes, and social norms that preserve their identity across generations. While maintaining core Islamic beliefs, Khoja traditions often incorporate unique cultural elements, fostering a strong sense of community and heritage. These practices help preserve their religious and cultural identity amidst diverse environments and influence their social and spiritual lives.
