Extended family units share a walled compound inclusive of parents, grandparents, and most often several of the sons with their wives and children. Each family unit has separate one-room dwellings within the compound, and likely shares cooking facilities. As their code of hospitality demands, each compound has one single room dwelling set apart just for guests. Families are united by clan, clans are governed by chiefs, and the tribe is ruled by councils of chiefs. Family decisions are made together with respect for the wisdom and authority of the elders.
Women are the servants of the family.
The Moje people follow a religious tradition which is best described as Folk Islam. Much of their understanding of Islam is not in accord with the orthodox tenets of Islam. They have incorporated religious and spiritual observances borrowed from their tribal background and from wider mystical traditions into their everyday practice of faith in Allah and devotion to the prophet Mohammed. Though according to Islam Jesus is one of their revered prophets, Jesus is for all practical purposes unknown to this people. Most Mojes have not even heard of the name of Jesus.
