Islamic societies are communities where the majority of people practice Islam, a monotheistic religion founded in the 7th century. These societies can be found across the globe, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, and they often share cultural, legal, and social practices influenced by Islamic teachings and traditions. In Islamic societies, the Qur'an serves as a central religious text, guiding moral and ethical behavior. Many of these communities celebrate important events such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, which mark significant moments in the Islamic calendar. Additionally, the role of Sharia law can vary, influencing governance and daily life in different regions.
