Islam in Mayotte

Islam is the faith of the majority of the residents of the island of Mayotte with 98% as Muslims and 2% Christians according to a 2012 estimate.

[2] The Mahorais are a blend of settlers from many areas: mainland Africans, Arabs and Malagasy.

The presence of Islam in Mayotte can traced back to at least the 15th century.

[4] Despite the strong presence of Islam, Mahorese culture is imbued with animism and mystical rituals are still widely practiced, especially among the community of Malagasy origin.
