How many mosques are there in North Korea?

Published in Mosques in North Korea 1 min read

There is only one mosque in North Korea, the Ar-Rahman Mosque located in Pyongyang.

The mosque, constructed in the 1980s, is a symbol of North Korea's relationship with the Islamic world, particularly with countries like Iran. While North Korea officially recognizes Islam as a religion, religious freedom is severely restricted, and the number of Muslims in the country is relatively small.

The Ar-Rahman Mosque is primarily used for diplomatic purposes and for accommodating foreign Muslims visiting the country. The mosque also holds religious services for a small community of North Korean Muslims.
