We move on to a tourist paradise famous for its beautiful beaches, the Maldives. But we didn't go there for a holiday, it wasn't the weekend yet. I want to discuss the Islamic regulations that exist there.

As a country whose population is 100% Muslim, Islamic regulations in the Maldives must also be obeyed by travelers.

This is the Maldives, an archipelago of atolls and a major tourist destination in the world. The blue sea and Indian Ocean and beautiful beaches have made the Maldives known as a paradise left behind.

"Apart from being known for its beautiful nature, the Republic of Maldives also has an extraordinary historical development of Islam. It is natural that the majority of residents here are Muslim."

Islam is an important part of this country whose capital is Male. According to the constitution, 100% of the population is Muslim. This country, which was originally a sultanate, has a magnificent mosque, which is named after the sultan who ruled in the 15th century, namely the Sultan Mohammed Takur Fanu Al-Azam Mosque.

The largest mosque in the city of Male has a capacity of 5000 people. Opened in 1984, this building became the national mosque, as well as the office of the Maldivian Islamic Supreme Council. Even though the Maldives' main income is from tourism and fishing, the country still firmly enforces Islamic rules.

Every time the call to prayer sounds, cafes, restaurants and shops close. Alcohol and pork must also not be sold or brought in from outside.

The strict laws of the Maldives not only apply to residents, but also travelers. Along the outskirts of Male, there is a stretch of artificial beach provided by the government for relaxing. It's just that when swimming at the city beach you have to wear polite swimwear. Bikinis are prohibited here.

These strict rules regarding Islamic law only apply in administrative cities, including the capital Male. At privately owned resorts, travelers are free to eat any menu. Order alcoholic drinks or wear a bikini.

Greetings always compact.
