| To give a serious answer, there aren't any I'm aware of. Islam isn't really a thing in Japan. The manga "What has happened to me" is the only thing I can think of that's close to what you're looking for. |

| The closest I can think of is Mobile Suit Gundam 00, which doesn't outright state it, but it's heavily implied from the main character's backstory as a child soldier in the Middle East, and it's focus on events in the region |
 |
| From that angle I guess Jormungand is a bit relevant, since part of the show takes place in the Middle East and other countries that could potentially be Muslim. But religion doesn't really play any role in the story. I can't really think of any show that centers around or contains Islam and focuses on religion in some way. |
| https://myanimelist.net/anime/1246/Yuugo__Koushounin (The first arc) Can't remember if it mentions Islam or the Koran specifically (haven't seen this show in forever). However, the first arc is set in Pakistan and he has to negotiate a hostage release. The MC needs a clear understanding of the culture and beliefs of the land and I know for sure it involves religion. |
Huh. I didn't know there was a manga that's actually like this. I'm not OP but I'll consider reading this if I ever see it anywhere. Can't say I ever thought about Muslims being in any anime/manga ever cuz of how... open Japan is about certain things that super religious Muslims don't like, this is a pleasant surprise. |
