Prayer times in Cuba

Default method: mwl · Capital: Havana · 16 regions indexed

Cuba has a small Muslim community estimated at less than 0.1 percent of the population, numbering perhaps 4,000 to 10,000 adherents in a country of approximately 11 million. The community is composed of a longstanding Lebanese and Levantine-descent contingent dating to early twentieth-century migration, foreign students who studied at Cuban universities and converted to Islam, and a growing native Cuban convert population. The Mezquita Abdallah in Havana, inaugurated in 2015 inside the Casa de los Árabes museum building in Habana Vieja, was the first state-recognized mosque in Cuba in the modern era and operates with state cooperation given Cuba's distinctive church-state framework. The Liga Islámica de Cuba (LIC) is the principal national body recognized by the Cuban Office of Religious Affairs. There is no Islamic university or formal Islamic school operating in Cuba. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Cuba, consistent with broader Caribbean and Latin American practice. The community maintains links with Venezuelan, Mexican, and Spanish Islamic networks for religious resources.
