Islam is a monotheistic religion centred around the belief in one God and following the example of Muhammad. It is the largest minority religion in India. As of 2007, India is home to 147 million Muslims, the world's third-largest Muslim population after those in Indonesia (210 million)[17] and Pakistan (166 million); they compose 13.4% of the population.[18] Muslims represent the majority in Jammu and Kashmir and Lakshadweep,[19] and high concentrations in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, and Kerala.[19][20] The largest denomination is Sunni Islam, which is practised by nearly 80% of Indian Muslims.[21]

"To more than a billion Muslims worldwide, Islam is a religion that teaches tolerance, freedom and compassion. Those who understand Islam and know Muslims as friends and colleagues realize that Islam is one of the three Abrahamic faiths and that Muslims are contributing members of societies around the world.

Dietary habits are significantly influenced by religion. Almost one-third of Indians practise vegetarianism; it came to prominence during the rule of Ashoka, a promoter of Buddhism.[33][34] Vegetarianism is much less common among Muslim and Christians.[35] Jainism requires monks and laity, from all its sects and traditions, to be vegetarian. Hinduism bars beef consumption, while Islam bars pork.
