Islam Rapidly Growing In Spain
Показать описание
According to the Islamic Commission of Spain, there are 2.5 million Muslims in Spain, which is about 5.32 percent of the population of 47 million Spaniards. The number of converts, as per the commission, has increased to an estimated 10 times in the past three decades.
“Now in Granada there are 36,000 Muslims, with 3,800 being converts as a third generation,” Spanish Islamic Society Association and Granada Great Mosque Foundation President Umar del Pozo tells TRT World.
He says a similar trend is taking place across Andalusia in cities such as Jaen, Marbella and Girola.
In Granada, Pozo who was born into a Muslim-convert family, says there are Shahadahs performed most Fridays among Spaniards and other nationalities, such as the English population living in the region.
Typically he says people visit the city and stop off at the Mosque where their interest is sparked after discussing Islam with staff.
Afterwards he says many gain new insight about the religion which he suggests is counteracting Islam’s negative portrayal in the media, as many decide to accept the faith into their lives.
Pozo says among other factors the pandemic lockdown drove a “state of reflection” for people to seek answers to fundamental questions about their own lives and identity.
“When the lockdown was lifted, they came directly to the Mosque and they undertook Shahada,” says Pozo.
