Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, with approximately 87 percent of its 280 million people identifying as Muslim, predominantly Sunni of the Shafi'i school with a smaller Twelver Shia minority and a distinctive Ahmadiyya community. Islam arrived in the Indonesian archipelago through Indian Ocean trade from at least the thirteenth century, and the country supports an exceptionally rich and pluralist Islamic tradition embodied in major mass organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama (founded 1926, traditionalist and Sufi-oriented, with over 90 million members) and Muhammadiyah (founded 1912, modernist-reformist, with over 30 million members). The Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, opened in 1978, is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and accommodates over 200,000 worshippers; the Demak Great Mosque in Central Java, founded in 1474 by the Wali Songo (the nine saints credited with the Islamization of Java), is one of the oldest. The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) is the principal national religious body. eSalah uses the Kemenag Indonesia method (Fajr 20°, Isha 18°), as published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
