Islam is considered a minor religion in Bhutan, with roughly 5,000–7,000 Muslims in the country.[citation needed]
Mosques
[edit]There are currently no mosques in Bhutan.[citation needed] This makes it one of the few countries without a mosque.[1][2] The current Muslim population of the country, along with other non-Buddhist religion, pray at a small prayer hall built in Jakar.[citation needed] In 2008, the Bhutan Muslim community built a mosque called the Jaigaon Mosque in Jaigaon, India, just across the Bhutan–India border.[3]
