AB  - BACKGROUND: It is a marked recognition that when the population is disaggregated 
      by religion, wide disparities in the utilization of maternal health care services 
      can be observed. The study was aimed to analyze the levels and trends of maternal 
      health services among Muslims in India. The study also delineated the 
      investigation of confounding factors attributed to maternal health services among 
      the selected population. METHODS: The study utilized the data from the third and 
      fourth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS), conducted in 2005-06 and 
      2015-16 respectively. The bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models 
      were employed to accomplish the study objectives. RESULT: There is an increasing 
      trend in the distributional patterns of all three indicators (full ANC, SBA and 
      PNC) during the last two successive surveys. Muslim women belonging to Southern 
      States were seen to be utilizing more maternal health care services as compared 
      to Muslim women in the Northern States. Muslim populated States like Assam, 
      Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal were far cry to achieve the 
      MDG-15 target of utilization of 100 percent skilled birth attendants in 2015. 
      Education, media exposure and wealth status appeared to be major confounding 
      factors for determining the utilization of maternal health services. CONCLUSION: 
      The study revealed that the utilizations of maternal health services among 
      Muslims have progressed during the last decade. It can be concluded that the NHM 
      policy has played an instrumental role in increasing the utilization of maternal 
      health services among Muslims.
