Islam in Northern Ireland

[4] The Muslims in Northern Ireland come from over 40 countries of origin, from Western Europe all the way through to the Far East.

[5] The Belfast Islamic Centre was established in 1978 by a group of Muslims from the local community.

They tend to inhabit leafy, cosmopolitan districts in south Belfast, near Queen’s University where many have taught or studied.

"[7] As of December 2019, there are a total of ten Islamic centres or prayer places in Northern Ireland.

These centres organise social and religious events for the Muslim communities in their respective areas.
