Finland has a Muslim community of approximately 1.6 to 2 percent of the population, or roughly 90,000 to 110,000 people. The community has a notable historical depth: the Finnish Tatars, descended from late nineteenth-century traders from the Nizhny Novgorod region, have been continuously present since the 1830s and were granted the legal status of a religious community in 1925, making theirs one of the oldest officially recognized Islamic communities in Western Europe. More recent migration from Somalia (the largest single source country since the 1990s), Iraq, Iran, Bosnia, Kurdistan, Turkey, and North Africa has substantially diversified the community. The Finnish Islamic Congregation (Suomen Islam-seurakunta), the Tatar community body founded in 1925, remains the senior Islamic organization. The Helsinki Islamic Centre and the Helsinki Grand Mosque project (long-planned) serve the broader Sunni population, with the Iso Roobertinkatu Mosque among the oldest active prayer spaces. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Finland.
