What is The Cham Bani: Islam in Vietnam about?
The Cham Bani are a Muslim community in Vietnam, descendants of the ancient Champa kingdom, with a population concentrated in the southern regions. They follow a unique interpretation of Islam, distinct from mainstream Sunni practices, and their religious life is guided by a hierarchy of priests known as acars. The Cham Bani celebrate Ramadan as a month of worship rather than fasting, emphasizing community rituals and maintaining harmony with Cham Hindus.
