Prayer times in Barbados

Default method: mwl · Capital: Bridgetown · 11 regions indexed

Barbados has a small Muslim community estimated at less than 1 percent of the population, numbering approximately 3,000 to 4,000 adherents. The community is composed primarily of descendants of Indo-Caribbean migrants from Gujarat (especially the Surati Sunni Vohra community) who arrived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, alongside more recent migrants from Guyana and Trinidad. The Jumma Masjid on Kensington New Road in Bridgetown, established in the early twentieth century, is the oldest mosque on the island and a focal point of the community. The Barbados Muslim Association represents Sunni Muslims and oversees Friday prayers, the Halal Food Guide, and inter-Caribbean coordination. There is no state Islamic authority. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Barbados, consistent with regional Caribbean practice. The community maintains close ties with Trinidadian Muslim networks for religious education and the supply of halal meat, and the Vohra heritage gives a distinctive Gujarati cast to local mosque architecture and naming.
