Dubrovnik Islamic Community Majlis

Muslims began arriving in Dubrovnik only after 1878, when Bosnia and Herzegovina became part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy through the Congress of Berlin and the will of the global powers of the time. This brought Dubrovnik and its Bosnian-Herzegovinian hinterland into the same state. A more permanent presence of Muslim residents from Bosnia and Herzegovina in Dubrovnik began only at the start of the 20th century. The Islamic Community officially began its activities on July 24, 1933. The Community's headquarters is located in the heart of Dubrovnik's Old City. It has its own premises, which include a mesjid (prayer room), administrative offices, a classroom for religious education (mekteb), a library, and a youth club. The mesjid is open to visitors daily from 10:00 to 13:00. Communal prayers are held for Dhuhr (midday), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (evening) prayers, in accordance with the official prayer timetable (vaktija) of the Islamic Community of Dubrovnik.
