Prayer times in Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago has a Muslim community of approximately 5 percent of the population per the 2011 census, numbering roughly 70,000 people, the second-largest religious minority in the country after the Hindu community. The community is composed predominantly of descendants of Indian indentured laborers brought to the island colony between 1845 and 1917, of whom approximately 13 to 16 percent were Muslim, predominantly Sunni Hanafi from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. There is also a smaller but historically significant African-Muslim heritage reaching back to enslaved Mandinka and other West African Muslims brought during the Spanish and British colonial periods, alongside more recent Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Afro-Trinidadian convert, and Indian Shia (Ithna Ashari) communities. The Hosay festival in St. James, Port of Spain, commemorating the Battle of Karbala with elaborate tadjah processions, is a unique Trinidadian Shia-influenced cultural event that draws all communities. The Anjuman Sunnat-ul-Jamaat Association (ASJA), founded in 1936, is the principal national umbrella body. The Jinnah Memorial Mosque in St. Joseph is among the principal congregational centers. eSalah uses the Karachi method.
