Badeea Ali, a Muslim student at Hogwarts who wore a hijab
Islam is an Abrahamic monotheistic faith and the second-largest religion in the world. Its adherents are known as Muslims. They have the Quran as their holy book and follow Muhammad as their central prophet.[1] Jesus is revered as their second highest Prophet.[2]
History[]
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry taught young wizards and witches from multiple religions, including Islam.[3] Badeea Ali, a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1980s, was a Muslim, as she wore a blue hijab, traditional to women of the faith and had an Arabic name,[4] and celebrated Ramadan.[5]
In 1996, The Guardian reported on the collapse of the Millennium Bridge, noting that both the Islamic fundamentalist group Al-Hiraza and the Basque separatist group ETA had been implicated in the attack by Muggle authorities (in actuality though, this disaster was caused by a group of Death Eaters led by werewolf Fenrir Greyback).[6]
