Islamic countries are nations where the majority of the population practices Islam. These countries often incorporate Islamic law, or Sharia, into their legal systems and cultural practices. They can be found in various regions, including the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The term "Islamic countries" can also refer to members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which is an international organization aimed at promoting cooperation among Muslim-majority nations. Examples of Islamic countries include Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Turkey, each with its unique cultural and historical context.
