Muslim Background in Yemen

Understanding the Islamic heritage, historical roots, and demographic distribution that shape the educational landscape today.

Yemen is approximately 99.1% Muslim, with both Sunni (Shafi'i) and Zaydi Shia communities. Islam arrived in Yemen during the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ lifetime. The country has an ancient Islamic scholarly tradition, with the historic city of Tarim in Hadhramaut being a renowned centre of Shafi'i learning. The ongoing civil war has devastated Islamic educational infrastructure.
