Prayer times in Iceland

Default method: mwl · Capital: Reykjavík · 20 regions indexed

Iceland has a very small Muslim community estimated at approximately 0.4 percent of the population, numbering roughly 1,500 to 1,700 adherents in a country of approximately 380,000. The community is composed of recent migrants from a wide range of source countries (Morocco, Albania, Bosnia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria), naturalized citizens, and a small native Icelandic convert population. There is no purpose-built mosque in the country; the community currently uses converted-building masjids in Reykjavík managed by the two registered Islamic organizations: the Muslim Association of Iceland (Félag Múslima á Íslandi), founded in 1997, and the Islamic Cultural Centre of Iceland (Menningarsetur Múslima á Íslandi). A purpose-built mosque has been planned in Reykjavík for over a decade and has faced periodic political and zoning challenges. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Iceland but flags the country for high-latitude rule application: at Reykjavík's latitude (64.1°N), standard astronomical Fajr and Isha do not occur for portions of the summer, requiring the application of one of the high-latitude rules.
