Prayer times in Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea has a small Muslim community estimated at approximately 4 to 5 percent of the population, numbering perhaps 50,000 to 75,000 people. The community is composed predominantly of West African migrants (Hausa, Senegalese, Malian, Cameroonian, Nigerian) who settled during the post-1970s oil-economy expansion, alongside a smaller Lebanese commercial component and a growing native convert population. The community is concentrated in Malabo and Bata. The community is predominantly Sunni of the Maliki school with a Tijaniyya Sufi presence reflecting West African origins. The Mezquita Central de Malabo serves as the principal congregational mosque. There is no state Islamic authority, and the community is small enough that it does not yet have formal Islamic schools or an Islamic university operating within the country. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Equatorial Guinea, consistent with West African Maliki practice; the Algerian method is offered as a regionally-tested alternate. The community maintains close ties with the larger Cameroonian, Nigerian, and Senegalese Muslim networks for religious education and major life-cycle events.
