Reykjavík Mosque, Islamic mosque in Ármúli district, Reykjavík, Iceland.
Reykjavík Mosque is a place of worship located in a commercial building in the Ármúli district, featuring prayer halls, classrooms, and common areas for the Muslim community. The interior is arranged to accommodate both religious services and community gatherings.
This place of worship was established in 2002 when the Islamic Association of Iceland received approval from local authorities to create a religious center. The founding marked the beginning of organized Islamic religious services in the city.
The community gathers here with members from many backgrounds who share daily life in the prayer halls and celebrate religious holidays together. This mix of people shapes how the space is used throughout the year.
The building follows set prayer times and holds community services on Friday afternoons, so plan your visit accordingly. It is best to check ahead, as spaces are primarily used for religious purposes and may have limited visiting hours.
In 2013, city officials approved plans for a purpose-built mosque that would stand independently in the same area. This later development shows how the city's recognition of its Muslim community had grown over the years.
