Prayer times in Romania

Romania has a small Muslim community estimated at approximately 0.3 percent of the population, numbering roughly 65,000 adherents. The community has a notable historical depth: the Tatar and Turkish communities of the Dobruja region (the Black Sea coastal area between the Danube delta and the Bulgarian border) have been continuously present since the thirteenth century under the Golden Horde and the Ottoman period, making theirs among the oldest continuously established Muslim communities in southeastern Europe outside the Balkan Sandžak. The community is concentrated in Constanța County and Tulcea County. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Hanafi school. The Carol I Mosque in Constanța, opened in 1910 by King Carol I as a gift to the Muslim community of Dobruja, is the principal congregational mosque of the region and the largest in Romania; the Mahmudiye Mosque in Babadag, dating to 1623, is the oldest in the country. The Muftiate of the Muslim Cult in Romania (Muftiatul Cultului Musulman din România) is the recognized national authority. eSalah uses MWL; Diyanet alternate.
