Muslim Romani people are people who are ethnically

Romanlar in Turkey, are members of the Hindiler Tekkesi a Qadiriyya-Tariqa, founded in 1738 by the Indian Muslim Sheykh Seyfullah Efendi El Hindi in Selamsız.[4] Roma Muslims in Turkey and the Balkans are mostly cultural Muslims or nominal Muslims.[5][6]

Muslim Roma hold

Turks and explain they "slice the foreskins from their members". Muslim Roma, however, see Christian Roma as foreign and call them Dasikane (Servant, slaves). Also the phrase Amare Roma (Our Roma) and Cudza Roma (foreign Roma) is used vice versa. There is a huge cultural gap between the two religious groups.[23]

Settlings

After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Muslim Roma have found themselves under double discrimination in regions where Islam was a minority religion, experiencing both

Antiziganism and anti-Muslim sentiment.[24]

At the Greek War of Independence, Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) and Balkan Wars (1912–1913), Muslim Roma flee together with other different Muslim Groups to Istanbul and East Thrace, as Muhacir.[25]

At the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey, Muslim Turkish Roma from Greece have also been resettled in Turkey. In Turkish, they are called Mübadil Romanlar.[26][27][28][29][30]

In 1950–1951 Muslim Turkish Roma from Bulgaria came to Turkey and settled in Çanakkale and surroundings.[31]

From 1953 -1968, Muslim Turkish Roma and Turks from Yugoslavia emigrated to Turkey,[32][33]

Because of the relative ease of migration in modern times, Muslim Roma may be found in other parts of the world as well. Turkish Roma from

Xoraxane (Muslim Roma) from former Yugoslavia went to USA, settled mostly in New York,[36][37] and South America.[37] Since 2007, Turkish Roma from Bulgaria went as workers to West Europe[38]

Faith and status

Most Muslim Roma are Sunni, but they are not exclusively Sunni. For example, there are some Shia Roma communities in Serbia.[39] Turkish Roma are mostly Sunni.[40] Under Ottoman rule, Roma Muslim had a lower social status than non-Roma Muslims, but above that of non-Muslims.[41] However, other Muslim Roma are well-integrated with and accepted by their Muslim non-Roma brothers.

Types of Muslim Roma

Qur'an

Xoraxane

Turks was used for non-Turkish Muslims. They are many groups of Xoraxane Roma, named after their old traditional professional activities, also divived in sedentary and nomadic groups.[43]
Not all Roma adherents of Islam are considered Xoraxane.

Arlije

The sedentary Arlije are the main group of the Romani people in North Macedonia. They are one of the many subgroups considered Xoraxane.

Crimean Roma

The Crimean Roma (also called Çingene) are a community of Tatarized Roma who traditionally practice Islam. They are often considered to be both a subgroup of the Roma and a subgroup of the Crimean Tatar people due to assimilation, although the term oraxane is rarely, if ever, used for them anymore

Zargari

The Zargari are a Roma subgroup settled in Zargar, Iran and neighboring villages who observe Shia Islam and speak in a Balkan Romani dialect. Their exact origins are debated among scholars.

New Muslims

British Romani businessman Alfie Best Jr. converted to Islam in 2023.[44] As Islam is not an ethnoreligion, it accepts converts regardless of their ethnic background, which includes Roma from non-Muslim backgrounds.

Dress

Muslim Roma women wear beautiful silk Dimije also known as Turkish salvar, at weddings, circumcision ceremonies, and other festivals. Even on weekdays, quite a few older women, but also some younger women, wear the şalvar.
