Diaspora from the Muslim world

The Muslim diaspora is the diasporic group of Muslims whose ancestors emigrated from the long-standing regions of the Muslim world and the national homes of the Muslim peoples, including Asia, the Palestinian and Israeli regions, and others, although mainly comprise the Middle East and North Africa along with parts of South and Southeast Asia.^[1]^[2]

Community relations

Muslim diaspora and its countries of origin

The intersection between the Muslim diaspora's relationship with its ancestral homelands and the Muslim diaspora's relationship with foreign Islamic communities as part of the global Ummah has been called into question by some in the host countries of the diaspora, with scholars offering different ways of approaching the connections between the two relationships.^[3]

Muslim diaspora and its host countries

In the West

Muslims have become an integral part of almost every western country. Diaspora members live in the West, and there is sometimes a journey to seek understanding between the diaspora's Islam-influenced values and the Western values of their host countries.^[4]
