The Bahamas is a majority Christian country, with adherents of Islam being a minority. Due to the secular nature of the country's constitution, Muslims are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country. Adherents of Islam represent less than 1% of the Bahamian population.

History

Some of the early Muslim settlers in the country were brought as slaves from North Africa.[1] In the 1970s, few Bahamian students embraced Islam while studying abroad and returned home to continue practicing.[2]

Mosques

The country houses the only mosque, which is the Jamaa' Ahlus Sunnah Bahamas Mosque located in Nassau.[1]
