About the  Miss Muslimah World Pageant

The Miss Muslimah World is an Islamic beauty pageant held every year at Indonesia. The contest was launched as a response to the Miss World pageant.

This is an annual Muslim event which is held exclusively for Muslim women, who are assessed not only for their appearance (in Islamic dress) but also their piety, religious knowledge and understanding of the Quran.

The contest was first held in 2011 under a different name and was only open to Indonesians, but after the media began comparing it to Miss World, it was rebranded as a Muslim alternative to the world-famous show. Because of its popularity, organisers accepted foreign contestants this year for the first time, with Iran, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Nigeria and Indonesia represented.

Indonesia is the world's most populous Islamic country.
