North Africa has a rich tapestry of religious influences, primarily shaped by Islam, which became dominant after the Arab conquests in the 7th century. Before Islam, the region was home to various indigenous beliefs, Christianity, and Judaism, particularly in areas like Egypt and Tunisia. The spread of Islam led to the establishment of powerful empires, such as the Fatimid and Almohad dynasties, which further solidified Islamic culture and scholarship. Today, the majority of North Africans are Muslim, with a significant minority of Christians and indigenous religious practices still present.
