Prayer times in Austria

Austria has a Muslim community of approximately 8 percent of the population, or roughly 750,000 people, drawn primarily from Turkish, Bosniak, and more recent Syrian and Afghan refugee communities. Austria has the distinction of granting Islam official legal recognition in 1912 — the earliest in Western Europe — through the Islamgesetz, which was substantially revised in 2015. The Vienna Islamic Centre on the Danube, opened in 1979 and built with Saudi funding, was the first purpose-built mosque in central Europe in the modern era. The Turkish-affiliated ATIB and the Bosniak community organizations operate the largest mosque networks. The Islamische Glaubensgemeinschaft in Österreich (IGGÖ) is the legally recognized representative body and oversees religious education in public schools, the appointment of military and prison chaplains, and Islamic studies at the University of Vienna. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Austria; the Diyanet method is offered as an alternate given the large Turkish-origin congregations.
