Saqib, thank you for your question.
Being a Muslim isn’t an issue whatsoever, there will be all kinds of religions in whatever unit/regiment you wish to join.
Your dietary needs will be catered for, if you wish to cook your own meals that is also an option as your accommodation will have on suite kitchens
Hope this answers your question
