Prayer times in Ghana

Ghana has a Muslim community of approximately 19.9 percent of the population per the 2021 census, concentrated in the five northern regions (Northern, Savannah, North East, Upper East, Upper West) and the Zongo neighborhoods of southern cities including Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, and Sekondi-Takoradi. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Maliki school with a strong Tijaniyya Sufi presence and a smaller Ahmadiyya community of about 600,000 (the Ahmadiyya having been established in Ghana since 1921). The Wa Naa Mosque and the older mud-brick mosques of Larabanga (a fourteenth-century Sudano-Sahelian mosque attributed to a Mandé trader named Ayuba) are among the oldest surviving Islamic structures in West Africa; the Larabanga Mosque is sometimes called the 'Mecca of West Africa' in popular references. The National Mosque of Ghana in Accra, opened in 2021 with Turkish state support, is the largest mosque in West Africa by some measures. The Office of the National Chief Imam, currently held by Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, is the principal Sunni authority. eSalah uses the MWL default.
