Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has a very small Muslim community estimated at well under 0.5 percent of the population, numbering perhaps 100 to 300 adherents in an island nation of approximately 110,000. The community is composed of a small number of Caribbean-origin converts and resident professionals from South Asia, the Middle East, and other parts of the Caribbean. There is no purpose-built mosque in the country; Friday prayers when held are typically conducted in private homes or rented community spaces in Kingstown. There is no state Islamic authority, and the community is too small to support any formal religious institution. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, consistent with broader Caribbean regional practice. The community maintains ongoing ties with the larger Trinidadian, Guyanese, and Saint Lucian Muslim networks for religious education, halal certification, and Eid coordination, and most observant residents conduct major religious life-cycle events in Trinidad, Saint Lucia, or in the U.S. Caribbean diaspora communities in New York and Florida, where the larger and more institutionally developed community structures provide the resources unavailable on the home islands.
