Islam in New York City

The Islamic Cultural Center of New York in Manhattan was one of the first purpose-built mosques and Islamic cultural centers in New York City.

Islam is the third most widely professed religion in New York City, after Christianity and Judaism.[1] A 2018 study estimated that there are over 750,000 Muslims living in New York City, the largest population of Muslims by city in the United States. Approximately 9% of New York City residents are Muslim, constituting 22.3% of American Muslims, with 1.5 million Muslims in the greater New York metropolitan area, representing the largest metropolitan Muslim population in the Americas.[2]—and the most ethnically diverse Muslim population of any city in the world.[3]
