Islam is the dominant religion in Morocco - the Sunni variant in particular. There are also about 100,000 Christians here, mostly of French descent, along with a reported 8,000 Jews who mainly live in Casablanca and Marrakech, in North Africa.
The mosque is at the centre of all Muslim worship. You'll find plenty of these beautiful historic buildings all over Morocco. Catholic churches, Protestant churches, and synagogues are found in all of the major cities.
"Islam is an Arabic word that denotes submission, surrender, and obedience. As a religion, Islam stands for complete submission and obedience to Allah - that is why it is called Islam. The other literal meaning of the word "Islam" is "peace." This signifies that one can achieve real peace of body and of mind only through submission and obedience to Allah. Such a life of obedience brings peace of the heart and establishes real peace in society at large".
