Tokyo (IINA): Muslims in Japan have done their best in spreading Dawah and in guiding their fellow Muslims and improving their lives, through the activities of not less than 100 Muslim societies and associations in the country. There are numerous mosques spread all over Japan, and where none exists, prayer areas are improvised for the purpose of worship.

The Tokyo Mosque was built in 1938, though this was preceded by the one in Kobe. Another mosque is at the New Institute in Tokyo, and this was built by the Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, in Riyadh.

The Islamic Center of Japan functions as a religious organization that seeks to raise the standard of Muslims in the country, at the same time striving to promote mutual cooperation between members of the Muslim community in the country. The center also has long-standing relations with the Shoao University in Tokyo. Professor Sanau, Dean of the Law College at the university, has written a book on how the Islamic Shari'ah is more acceptable than common law, and how the Japanese need Islam as a religion. He also explains what and how Muslims in other parts of the world can do to present Islam to the people of Japan.

The center also dispatches lecturers to various Japanese universities and to other non-Muslim communities to explain what Islam is all about and give them any information they may seek on this faith. The response to Islam in Japan is very great, for hardly a day passes when not less than 50 non-Muslims embrace Islam, who are then trained in Islamic practices.
