Prayer times in Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands has a very small Muslim community estimated at well under 0.1 percent of the population, numbering perhaps 200 to 500 adherents in a country of approximately 740,000. The community is composed of a small number of resident professionals from Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and the Middle East, along with a small native Solomon Islander convert population, particularly in the capital Honiara. There is no purpose-built mosque on the islands; Friday prayers when held are typically conducted in private homes or rented community spaces in Honiara, with occasional visiting imams from Indonesia or Australia. There is no state Islamic authority, and the community is too small to support a formal Islamic school or any organized religious institution. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for the Solomon Islands, consistent with broader Pacific regional practice; the Kemenag-Indonesia method is offered as an alternate given that most resident Muslims have Indonesian or Malaysian heritage. The community maintains ongoing ties with the larger Indonesian and Australian Muslim networks for religious resources and major life-cycle events.
