Muslim meme

Muslim memes, also called Islamic memes or Halal memes, are one type of Internet meme which usually contain calls for adherence to Islamic religious teachings. Most Muslim memes contain calls to adhere to Islamic teachings, or to stay away from prohibitions in Islam. In their presentation, it is not uncommon for Muslim memes to offend their readers in order to remind them of their religious duties. It is not known where the first Islamic memes were introduced. However, there are several types of Muslim memes that are known to have emerged earlier than others. One of the earliest representations of Islamic memes is the phrase "Stay halal brother" which is usually combined with a poster of the Indian Muslim preacher Zakir Naik or the starfish character Patrick Star. Some memes are made using Islamic words against the background of the animated film characters SpongeBob SquarePants. Trends like this can usually be found in Indonesia. In early 2025, Italian brainrot memes became viral on TikTok. Italian brainrot featured animals mixed with objects.
