Costa Rica
There is no detailed information on the history of Islam in Costa Rica. However, since African Muslims were brought to different parts of the continent for labor during the colonial period, there is a possibility that Costa Rica was introduced to Islam during this period.
Today, the number of Muslims in the country is extremely limited and is estimated to be around a few thousand. The vast majority of Muslims living in the country are from North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, with a few hundred converted Costa Ricans. Most Muslims are Sunni, but there are a few Shiites.
There are three mosques in the country. The Islamic Cultural Center of Costa Rica and the Hazrat Omar Mosque in Montelimar is the first mosque in the country. Other places of worship are in San Jose. Apart from these, there are several small structures such as the Islamic Center of Muslims of Costa Rica, the Islamic Society of Costa Rica, and the Islamic Center of Costa Rica, mostly in the capital city San Jose.
