Prayer times in Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea has a very small Muslim community estimated at well under 0.1 percent of the population, numbering perhaps 3,000 to 5,000 adherents in a country of approximately 11 million. The community is composed predominantly of recent migrants and naturalized citizens from Indonesia (especially West Papuans of Muslim faith), Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the Middle East, alongside a small but growing native Papua New Guinean convert population. The community is concentrated in Port Moresby, Lae, and Madang. The community is predominantly Sunni of the Hanafi and Shafi'i schools. The Mosque of Port Moresby (Jami Masjid) in Hohola, opened in 1990, is the principal congregational center. The Islamic Society of Papua New Guinea is the principal national umbrella body. There is no state Islamic authority, and the community is too small to support a formal Islamic school. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Papua New Guinea, consistent with Pacific and Southeast Asian regional practice; the Kemenag-Indonesia method is offered as an alternate given Indonesian-origin congregations.
