Islam is the main religion of Bangladesh . Most of the people in this country believe in Islam. Bangladesh has a Muslim population of about 146.7 million (14.6 crore), the fourth largest Muslim population in the world (after Indonesia , Pakistan and India ). According to the 2011 census, Muslims constitute about 90.4% of the total population of Bangladesh.
History
The Prophet of Islam , Muhammad (peace be upon him) , was born in 570 AD. Only 50 years later, in 720 AD, Islam came to Bangladesh . The journey started in the northern district Lalmonirhat. Various researches and inscriptions have strengthened this claim. It is also seen that the first mosque of the country was built in 690 AD in a village called 'Majeder Ara' in Panchagram union of this district. During the excavation of the forest at Panchagram in 1986, the ruins of an ancient mosque were found. One of the bricks has Kalima Tayyiba and 69 AH written on it. It is inferred from this that the mosque was established or renovated around 69 AH, i.e. 790 AD.
It is known from the history books of Rangpur district that Abu Waqqas, the cousin of Amena, the uncle of Rasulullah (peace be upon him), preached Islam in Bangladesh from 620 to 628 AD (p. 126). Many speculate that he also built the mosque at Panchagram, which was renovated in 690 AD.
Matiur Rahman Basunia's book 'Rangpur Deeni Dawaat' also contains details of this mosque. Although the idea of 'Ikhtiyar Uddin Mohammad bin Khilji preached Islam in the country' has been established, this information proves that Islam was preached in this country long before that. Islam was introduced to Bangladesh by the Companions about 600 years before the conquest of Bengal by Ikhtiyar Uddin Mohammad bin Khilji in 1204 AD. The first mosque was also built at that time.
