Estimates on the number
Muslims in
Zimbabwe vary from as low as 120,000 to as many as 1.2 million. According the
United States State Department: "The Muslim community consists primarily of
South Asian immigrants (
Indian and
Pakistani), a small but growing number of indigenous Zimbabweans, Zimbabweans who descend from European migrants, migrants from other southern and eastern African countries (including
Mozambique and
Malawi), and a very small number of
North African and
Middle Eastern immigrants. There are
mosques located in nearly all of the larger towns. There are 18 in the capital city of
Harare, 8 in
Bulawayo, and a number of mosques in rural areas. The Muslim community has expanded its outreach efforts with the aid of the
Kuwaiti-sponsored
African Muslim Agency (AMA); the Harare AMA office has had increased success proselytizing among the majority black indigenous population, in part because of its humanitarian projects in rural areas. Some chiefs and headmen in the rural areas have reportedly converted from
Christianity to
Islam."
