Bengali Muslims, the largest ethnic group in Bangladesh with a population of 134.9 million, have a rich history blending Hindu traditions and Islamic practices. Islam is dominant, with 99.94% of the population identifying as Muslim, while Christians make up only 0.06%. Their lifestyle varies between urban areas, focused on economic activity, and rural areas, centered on agriculture. Most follow Sunni Islam, with a notable influence of Sufism.
Father GOD, as Your WORD promises in Psalm 2:8, we claim the ‘Bengali Muslim’ community in Bangladesh as an inheritance. Break down the barriers and draw them to Yourself through Your SON Jesus Christ, our LORD. May they find eternal hope and peace in You. Amen (The Holy Bible, Psalm 2:8).
