Prayer times in Georgia

Georgia has a Muslim community of approximately 10.7 percent of the population per the 2014 census, numbering roughly 400,000 people. The community is composed primarily of two distinct groups: Azerbaijani Muslims (predominantly Twelver Shia) concentrated in the Kvemo Kartli region in the southeast bordering Azerbaijan, and Sunni Muslims of the Hanafi school in the southwestern Adjara region (including the Adjarian Georgian Muslims, indigenous Georgian-speaking converts to Islam during the Ottoman period from the seventeenth century onward). There is also a small Kist (Chechen-related) Muslim community in the Pankisi Gorge. The Juma Mosque in Tbilisi, originally built in 1864 and rebuilt in 1895, is unusual in functioning as a shared space for both Sunni and Shia worshippers since the closure of the city's separate Shia mosque under the Soviet Union — a distinctive arrangement in the Muslim world. The Department for Religious Affairs of the All Georgia Muslims Administration (Sruliad Sakartvelos Muslimta Sammartvelo) is the national body. eSalah uses the Tehran method for Azerbaijani-majority cities and MWL elsewhere.
