Prayer times in Brazil

Brazil has a Muslim community estimated between 0.1 percent (per the 2010 census, roughly 35,000) and as high as 1 to 1.5 million according to community organizations, with the discrepancy reflecting both undercounting and the inclusion of cultural Arabs of mixed religious identity. The community is concentrated in São Paulo, Foz do Iguaçu (with the largest Lebanese-origin community in Brazil's interior), Rio de Janeiro, and Curitiba. Origins include nineteenth-century Levantine migration, post-1948 Palestinian and Lebanese refugees, and a growing convert population. The Mosque of Brasília, opened in 1976, was among the first purpose-built mosques in South America; the Mesquita Brasil in São Paulo, founded in 1929 and rebuilt in 1956, is the oldest active mosque in the Americas. There is also a notable historical antecedent in the Malê Revolt of 1835 in Salvador da Bahia, in which enslaved African Muslims, including many literate in Arabic, attempted an uprising. The Federation of Muslim Associations of Brazil (FAMBRAS) is the national federation. eSalah uses MWL default for Brazil.
