Taiwan has a small Muslim community estimated at approximately 0.3 percent of the population, numbering roughly 60,000 to 80,000 adherents. The community is composed of three principal groups: the historical Hui Chinese Muslim community whose ancestors arrived in Taiwan with the Republic of China government in 1949 (numbering approximately 20,000), more recent migrants and naturalized citizens from Indonesia (the largest single group, numbering over 200,000 if guest workers and their families are included, predominantly Sunni Shafi'i), and from Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East, and Central Asia, alongside a small Taiwanese convert population. The Taipei Grand Mosque, opened in 1960 in the Da'an District as the principal mosque for the post-1949 Hui community, is the oldest and largest in Taiwan. The Kaohsiung, Taichung, Tainan, Lungkang, and Taoyuan Mosques serve regional communities. The Chinese Muslim Association (CMA), founded in 1938 in mainland China and relocated to Taiwan in 1949, is the principal national umbrella body. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default; Karachi and Kemenag-Indonesia methods are alternates given community composition.
