Prayer times in Slovakia

Default method: mwl · Capital: Bratislava · 8 regions indexed

Slovakia has a small Muslim community estimated at less than 0.1 percent of the population, numbering roughly 5,000 adherents. The community is composed primarily of recent migrants and naturalized citizens from the Middle East (Syria, Iraq, Egypt), the Balkans, Turkey, the former Soviet Central Asian republics, and South Asia, alongside a small native Slovak convert population. There is no purpose-built mosque in Slovakia, and the community uses converted-building masjids in Bratislava and Košice. Slovakia is unusual in the European Union in that Islam has not received state legal recognition under the country's religion registration system, which requires a religious community to demonstrate at least 50,000 adherents (including children) committed in writing to the registration application — a threshold the Muslim community has not crossed. The Islamic Foundation in Slovakia and the Islamic Cultural Centre in Bratislava are the principal community organizations. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Slovakia; the Diyanet method is offered as an alternate given Turkish-origin congregational presence. Most major life-cycle events are conducted with assistance from Czech, Hungarian, or Austrian Muslim community networks.
