Prayer times in North Korea

North Korea has an extremely small Muslim community, with no reliable independent estimate but believed to number in the dozens, composed almost entirely of foreign diplomats, students, and limited expatriate workers from Muslim-majority countries with diplomatic ties to Pyongyang (notably Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, Syria, and a small number from Indonesia and Malaysia). There is no native North Korean Muslim community, and there is no purpose-built mosque in the country. The Iranian Embassy in Pyongyang has historically maintained a small prayer space for diplomatic personnel and visiting officials. The North Korean state's atheistic Juche ideology and severe restrictions on religious practice make any organized non-state Islamic community life impractical, and there is no recognized national Islamic body. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for North Korea, consistent with East Asian regional practice for the small expatriate community in Pyongyang. Given the absence of a resident Muslim population, the country is included primarily for completeness of the geographic database rather than as a meaningful site of Islamic community life.
