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. In the 1970s, few Bahamian students embraced Islam while studying abroad and returned home to continue practicing.

Mosques

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