The picture you are looking at is the 'Kobe Mosque' which is known as the first Islamic historical building in Japan. This mosque bears the witness of history.
We know that Japan is the country of advanced application in technical industry. Although it is a predominantly Buddhist country, there are about a million Muslims living there. 10 percent of these Muslims are of Japanese origin.
According to a source, religious education was banned in Japanese universities after the Second World War, but the history and tradition of Islam is not new there. The relationship between Japan and the Muslim world was established around 1886.
Many people have no idea about the history, tradition and mosque establishment of Islam in Japan. During World War II, Japanese troops were also stationed in various Muslim countries. At that time they became interested in Islam after seeing its beauty and way of life.
At that time a Japanese army chief converted to Islam. His name is Omar Bokena. He announced his conversion to Islam on his return to Japan. Chinese Muslims also migrated to Japan but played a special role in promoting and spreading Islam in that region. The number of Muslims is increasing day by day. This is how the mosque was built there. This historical 'Kobe Mosque' of Japan bears the witness of history.
