Australia has a Muslim community of approximately 3.2 percent of the population per the 2021 census, or roughly 813,000 people, making Islam the second-largest non-Christian religion in the country. The community is highly diverse, with origins in Lebanon, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Iraq, and a growing African contingent from Somalia and Sudan. The earliest Muslim presence dates to the Macassan trepang fishermen who visited northern Australia from the seventeenth century onward, and the Afghan and South Asian cameleers who built the inland transport network from the 1860s; the Adelaide Mosque (1888) and the Marree Mosque are surviving architectural witnesses to that era. The Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, opened in 1977, is the largest in the country. The Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) and the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) are the principal national bodies. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Australia; many congregations cross-reference Diyanet or Karachi timetables.
