Origin
editIt 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.
"Stay Halal Brother"
editOne 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.[4][5]
SpongeBob SquarePants
editSome 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.[citation needed]
Usage
editIslamic memes can be found widely on social media such as Instagram,[2] YouTube, WhatsApp, and others.[3]
Feedback
