Muslim heritage

Islamic cultural background

Muslim heritage refers to the cultural, religious, and historical traditions passed down from Islamic civilization—art, architecture, scholarship, customs, and beliefs.

Someone of Muslim heritage has family roots in Islamic faith or culture, whether or not they personally practice: She grew up secular but embraces her Muslim heritage.

The phrase often appears in discussions of identity and belonging.
