ℹ️ About these figures
Population figures are approximate estimatescompiled from public sources (primarily the Pew Research Center) and national statistics. The “Est. masjids” column shows widely-cited national estimates where available and varies between sources. The “In our directory” column is the live count of masjids registered on Masjid to Masjid — it grows as masjids join and are approved, so please help us by adding yours.
