Islam in Nepal
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah-e-wabarakatu
(May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you all,)
As we all know that the total population of Nepal according to the census 2009 was 23,151,623. Among them
Hindu 80.6%
Buddhist 10.7%
Muslims 4.2%
Mundum 3.6%
Christianity .5% and
Other .4%

History says that the first Muslims, who were Kashmiri traders, arrived in Katmandu valley in the 15th century during the regime of King Ratna Malla. A second group arrived in the 17th century from Northern India, and they manufactured small armaments for small hill states.
Muslims of Nepal speak the Nepali, Urdu, Hindi, Maithali, Bhojpuri, awadhi and more other languages. The majority of the Muslims live in the terai and the mountainous areas adjacent to the border with India, but their economic situation leaves much to be desired. They are not involved in any commercial or industrial undertakings, and the majority of them are either unskilled laborers or small-scale subsistence farmers, with a sprinkling of some lower-level civil servants.
Thus ignorance and backwardness are rampant among Nepalese Muslims, and this had led to their forfeiture of their human rights in the country.
Even in the faith that they profess, their knowledge of Islamic principles and culture is very meager, and they do need guidance and direction in this respect. Many of them are Muslims in name only, but hardly know anything else about Islam. The main reason behind this ignorance is the lacking and backwardness in educational field.
Though there are a number of madrasas are working through out Nepal but they are unable to produce the skilled personnel and professionals that could match the country’s demand. So, the products of such madrasa are unable to get any job in the government sectors and hence they are bound to do jobs in the maktab (small madrasa), Mosque as Imam (one who lead the prayer), Muazzin (one who call the Muslims for the prayer by reciting azan) where they get 2500-3000 salary per month. So, how is it possible to uplift the life style?
Nepal Government has not ever given concentration to bring the Muslims in the main countries stream. They do not support the madrasa financially and morally which is playing a significant role to educate the Muslim people and helping the nation to reach literacy rate 53.7%. More over it has been found that the government authority creating several problems during the registration and certificate issuance.
A single example a madrasa will be enough to understand the role of madrasa. Al-Jamiatul Islamia, Al- Islah which is situated in the sunsari districts and in the village of Ramnagar Bhutaha, where level of education is up to Aalmiat (Intermediate), several subjects are taught as Nepali, English, Science, Geography, Social Science, and Mathematics which are quite similar to the national curriculum. Even the students are able to seat for district level examination and SLC too. And their performance is also appraisable. Total number of students is near 2000. Even I was the student of this madrasa. So, thank you who established such madrasa, May Almighty Allah bless them, aameen.
The Muslims of Nepal are not given the right to practice Islamic personal law, because there are no such laws in the country, though Islam dawned on it in the fifth century of the Hijri calendar, according to existing historical records. It was Arab and Muslim traders who introduced Islam to Nepal. And they have to follow the non Islamic rules regarding marriage, divorce, sacrificing animal in the way of Allah during the month of Eidul Azhah and others.
Sheikh Muhammad Nassir Al-Abboudy, Assistant Secretary General of the Makkah-based Muslim World League (MWL) said that the Muslims of Nepal are incapable of combating their backwardness in social, economic, and political matters, nor are they capable of confronting the missionary activities and their enticements. The missionaries have been able to open schools, clinics, libraries, and other facilities, including cash disbursements.
Nepalese Muslims do, however, get help from such countries as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, in the form of scholarships to those who wish to study at the universities of the two countries.
Conclusion: Muslims of Nepal have the great desire to serve the nation in all respects so their reorganization and the establishment of general religious rights will create more love towards the nation and they may be able to contribute in a better way. Therefore the government should bring them in the main stream.
Thank You.
