Prayer times in Czech Republic

Default method: mwl · Capital: Prague · 14 regions indexed

The Czech Republic has a small Muslim community estimated at approximately 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the population, numbering roughly 10,000 to 20,000 adherents. The community is composed primarily of recent migrants and naturalized citizens from Bosnia, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, the former Soviet Central Asian states, and South Asia, with a smaller native Czech convert population. The Brno Mosque (Mešita v Brně), opened in 1998, was the first purpose-built mosque in the modern Czech Republic; the Prague Islamic Centre, established in the 1990s, operates a converted-building masjid in Prague's Černý Most district. Islam was granted limited legal recognition in the Czech Republic in 2004 but does not yet hold the higher tier of state recognition that some other religions enjoy. The Muslim Communities Centre of the Czech Republic (Ústředí muslimských obcí) is the principal national body. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for the Czech Republic; the Diyanet method is offered as an alternate for Turkish-origin congregations.
