日本では、イスラム教が一般ではなく、信者数も少ない。しかし、中東出身者を中心に信者がおり、その数は日本全国で7万人とされる。
日本にイスラム教がもたらされたのは、明治維新後の開国の時代に入ってからである。日本に滞在したロシア人やインド人、トルコ人などの中には、イスラム教を信仰する者が少数ながら存在し、彼らからもたらされたと考えられている。特に、ロシア革命で祖国を離れたカザフ人が、日本のイスラームに大きな役割を果たした。
日本には、古くからモスクもあった。1931年に日本国内初のモスクとして愛知県名古屋市に建設されたに名古屋モスクを始め、兵庫県神戸市中央区の神戸モスクや、東京都渋谷区にあるトルコ系モスクの東京ジャーミイ（当時は東京回教学院）などは歴史が古く、有名である。その他にも、多くの定住者や改宗者のためのモスクが存在する。また、新来のムスリム在住者のためのモスクも非常に多い。
日本に居住するイスラーム教徒の一部には信教の自由などを否定するものもおり、問題視されている。日本語で書かれたイスラーム教徒向けのホームページの一部にもそのような内容が書き込まれていることがある。[注釈 28]
しかし、無論すべてのムスリムがそうであるわけではなく、信教の自由や民主主義を重んずる人々も少なくない。これは他の東アジア諸国や西ヨーロッパ、アメリカなどでも同様である。また、イスラームのみならず、キリスト教など他の宗教でも、異教徒をことさらに敵視する人間は少数ながら存在し、類似事例もある。
欧米同様、日本でも、上述のような一部のイスラーム教徒の意見を過剰に取り上げ、イスラームをカルト宗教であるかのように見なす偏見が根強く存在しているとも批判されている。また、一般の日本人はイスラームやその信者と関わる事が殆ど無いので、誤った情報を訂正する機会もなかなか無いという問題がある。
在日イスラーム教徒の中には、日本の公安警察からテロ操作対象として調査・監視されてしまった者がいる[42]。2012年9月には、自衛隊情報保全隊が、駐日大使館関係者、東京・近郊県イスラム教徒、バングラディシュ系スンニ派、中東・東南アジア系のイスラム教徒を「イスラム勢力・国際テロ組織関連」として扱い、モスクでの礼拝に潜入して礼拝者数を記録・特異行動等の有無を監視していることが発覚した[43]。

関西空港がイスラム教徒の多い東南アジアからの旅行客の受け入れ対応を急いでいる。インドネシアやマレーシアなどからの訪日が増えているためだ。宗教上の習慣に配慮して旅行客をさらに呼び込み、空港の利用拡大を目指す。
「日本初のムスリム（イスラム教徒）フレンドリーエアポートを目指す」。新関西国際空港会社の田部章寿ターミナル営業部長は２３日、会見でイスラム教徒向けの施策を発表した。要望の多い、原則１日５回行う礼拝の場所と宗教上の制約が多い食事に配慮する。
年度内に、現在はターミナルビルに１カ所しかない礼拝用の部屋を、保安検査を受けた後の制限区域内も含め３カ所に拡充。広さも約３０平方メートルから合計で２７０平方メートルに広げ、国内の空港では初となる手や足を洗うための設備も設ける。

used-car trading business in Nagoya. Explaining the founding, he said, "We had
gathered in a prefab building, but decided to build this new mosque because the
old location was becoming too small for prayers."

Keiko Sakurai, a
professor of Islamic regional studies at Waseda University, said that the
growing number of Muslims settling down in Japan is behind the increase in
mosques. Sakurai estimates that there are about 56,000 legal Muslim residents in
Japan, more than four times larger than the number of 13,000 in 1990.

in particular have tapped their international networks to succeed at used-car
trading.

prayers. USS Co., a major used-vehicle auction firm, began building prayer rooms

customers from Islamic countries." Now most of the firm's 18 auction sites
around the nation, including the one in Yokohama, have prayer rooms.

meat dishes again without worrying because Japan has begun selling halal
food."

dietary guidelines, for instance, those that do not include pork or alcohol, or
that include beef or chicken prepared according to strict guidelines. Alflah
imports foods that are specially processed under halal guidelines in Australia.
Several dozen stores around the country handle halal foods.
halal foods have been a boon for Diamond Trading Ltd. The firm is predicting a
more than 10% increase in sales this year compared with a year earlier. "Lately,

Pacific University in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, the cafeteria run by the Japanese

Kinoshita, the manager. "But it's worth all the work if it makes the exchange
students happy."

continues to deal with its falling birthrate and shrinking population, these
exchange students are strong potential candidates to expand the work
force.

educational institutions and companies and an incentive for Islamic expats to
remain active in Japanese society.

al-khair" means "good evening" in Arabic, the teacher explains. In a condominium
near the Tokyo Metropolitan Government offices in Shinjuku district, a group of
company employees interested in the Middle East attend a class at the School of
Arabic Language after work. Akira Hinoki, a 54-year-old man who lived in Saudi
Arabia as an exchange student, heads the Arabic language school he set up in
1987.
currently 76 students enrolled in the school. This past year, enrollment
increased by 10. Wakako Otani, 32, one of the newcomers and a beginner in the
language, works for the Japan External Trade Organization. Otani said, "I want
to create corporate exchanges between Japanese companies and Middle Eastern
firms by holding local exhibitions." In class, she struggles with getting used
to the new language as she vocalizes conversational phrases, including questions
such as, "What is your occupation?"
Arabic Islamic Institute in Tokyo, run by the Saudi Arabian government, the
evening Arabic language class is packed with office workers. It was so popular
that the 30-seat course filled up just two days after registration opened.
Students use textbooks to practice conversational Arabic and learn pronunciation
and grammar.
a 41-year-old who has been attending the school since last fall, helps corporate
trainees sent from the Middle East settle into life in Japan. She was an
exchange student in Egypt and can understand some conversational Arabic. She
said it was important for her to learn enough of the language to be able to
navigate various situations, for instance, if a trainee has to go to the
hospital.
employees who tell their colleagues or bosses they study Arabic often get asked
by their companies to travel to the Middle East to do local research. The school
is planning a course on translating Arabic language newspaper articles into
Japanese.
nonprofit Japanese Organization for Arabic Language Examinations was launched
last year. Yoshiko Miyakawa, who helped set up the organization, studied Arabic
in Egypt, where her husband worked. She returned to Japan and searched for a
place where she could test her language skills. Unable to find one, she decided
to form an organization herself. Miyakawa said, "I hope this becomes a bridge to
the Arab world."
