Estonia has a small Muslim community estimated at approximately 0.4 to 0.5 percent of the population, numbering roughly 6,000 to 7,000 adherents. The community has a notable historical depth: a small Tatar community has been continuously present since the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, predominantly in Tallinn, Narva, and Maardu, alongside more recent Soviet-era arrivals from Azerbaijan, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, and post-1991 migrants from the Middle East and South Asia. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Hanafi school. The Estonian Islamic Congregation (Eesti Islami Kogudus), originally registered in 1928, was one of the earliest officially registered Islamic organizations in northern Europe; it was banned during the Soviet period and re-registered in 1989. There is no purpose-built mosque in Estonia; the community currently uses a converted-building masjid in Tallinn's Keldrimäe district, with longstanding plans for a permanent purpose-built mosque. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Estonia; users may select the Diyanet method given Turkic-origin congregations.
