Kenyans mark the beginning of the Holy Month of Ramadan

Most muslims in the world are entering the holy month of Ramadan this Saturday, April 2. Including in Kenya where worshippers gathered in numbers at the jamia mosque in Nairobi ahead of the religious holiday on Friday, April 1.

Islam is a minority religion in Kenya representing approximately 10% of its population. But according to Ustadh Hassan Ali Amin, chairman of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya, the religion is on the rise: “Islam is on the rise not only here in Africa or Kenya, but generally in the world, due to some major contributing factors. One of them is propagation; second teaching; third, people have now entered into the tendency of wanting to know more about Islam through social media and other stuff, IT in general. And also, exposure. Our Ulamas (Muslim scholars) and our leaders are really trying hard to open up for the people to understand more .”
