Prayer times in Viet Nam

Vietnam has a Muslim community of approximately 0.1 percent of the population per government statistics, numbering roughly 80,000 to 100,000 people. The community is composed predominantly of two distinct groups: the Cham (descendants of the Hindu and later Muslim Champa kingdom that flourished in central Vietnam from the second to the seventeenth century before its absorption by the Vietnamese Đại Việt) and a smaller community of Malay-origin migrants and Vietnamese converts. The Cham Bani (Bani Awal) of Ninh Thuận and Bình Thuận provinces practice a distinctive form of localized Cham Islam (sometimes called Bani Cham) with five-times-yearly congregational prayer rather than five-times-daily, alongside the Cham Islam community proper which practices conventional Sunni observance and is concentrated in Châu Đốc, Tây Ninh, and Hồ Chí Minh City along the Cambodian border. The Mubarak Mosque in An Giang is among the oldest in southern Vietnam. The Cộng đồng Hồi Giáo Việt Nam is the principal national umbrella body. eSalah uses the Muslim World League default for Vietnam; the Kemenag-Indonesia and Karachi methods are offered as alternates.
