Islam in the Comoros : ウィキペディア英語版 | Islam in the Comoros
According to the 2006 estimate by the U.S. Department of State, roughly 98% of the population in the Comoros are Muslim. Virtually all Muslims in the Comoros are Sunni belonging to Shafi school of jurisprudence. Islam and its institutions have helped to integrate Comorian society and provide identification with a world beyond the islands' shores. Most adherents are Arab-Swahili, but there are also people of Indian, largely Gujarati, descent. ==History== Local legend claims Islam was brought to the islands during Muhammad’s lifetime, brought by two Comorian nobles, Fey Bedja Mwamba and Mtswa Mwandze, who visited Mecca. Historical evidence suggests Arab merchants and exiled Zayidi Persian Shirazi princes first introduced the religion. Islam has long played a central role in the Comoros. Ruling families learned Arabic, performed ''Hajj'', and maintained ties with other Muslim communities, such as Kilwa, Zanzibar and Hadramawt. Several Sufi ''tariqa'', including the Shadhili, the Qadiriya, and the Rifa'i, are also active. Hassan ibn Issa, a 16th-century Shirazi chief who claimed descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad, encouraged conversion and constructed numerous ''masaajid''. In the 19th century, Sheikh Abdalah Darwesh initiated the Shadiliya ''tariqa'' in the Comoros. Born in Grande Comore, Sheikh Darwesh traveled throughout the Middle East and later converted Said Muhammad Al-Maarouf (d. 1904), who became the Shadilya’s supreme guide. Sheikh Al-Ami ibn Ali al-Mazruwi (d. 1949) was the first of the region's ''ulama'' to author Islamic literature in Swahili. Al-Habib Omar b. Ahmed Bin Sumeit (d. 1976) studied in Arab countries before serving as teacher and ''qadi'' in Madagascar, Zanzibar, and, after 1967, the Comoros.
