Mosques

Gunpo, a city in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, is home to a small but growing Muslim community. While Gunpo itself does not have a listed mosque, the surrounding region offers a network of prayer places accessible within a 50 km radius. The closest listed mosque is Ansan Mosque, located 14.1 km away in Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, serving the Wongok-dong area. Other nearby options include Rahman Masjid in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si (17.7 km), and Masjid Al-Falah in Yeongdeungpo District, Seoul (16.5 km). These mosques provide essential facilities for daily prayers and community gatherings.

The broader area shows a concentration of Islamic centers in Seoul and Incheon. Seoul Central Mosque, situated in Yongsan District, is a prominent landmark 19 km from Gunpo. Other Seoul-based prayer places include Sejong University Mosque in Gwangjin District, Masjid Noor Seoul also in Gwangjin District, and Sinchon Masjid in Mapo-gu. In Incheon, the Incheon Islamic Center (Masjid Fahd Al-Owais) in Michuhol-gu and Al-Ashrafia Mosque in the same district serve the Muslim population. The Islamic Center of Songdo in Yeonsu-gu and Masjid Al-Mujahidin in Namdong-gu further extend coverage across Incheon.

Beyond the immediate metropolitan area, mosques are listed in various Gyeonggi-do cities. These include Paju Masjid in Paju-si, Masjid Al-Ikhlas in Uijeongbu-si, and the Korean Muslim Federation's Gwangju branch in Gwangju-si. In Hwaseong-si, the Mosque of Baran-ri and Masjid Darussalam Baran are both located in Hyangnam-eup. Further afield, Faizan-E-Madina in Icheon-si, Al Muhajirin in Pyeongtaek-si, and Nur Hidayat Mosque in Anseong-si provide additional options. This network of prayer places, though spread across a wide area, ensures that Muslims in Gunpo can find a mosque or Islamic center within a reasonable distance for their religious needs.

When visiting any of these mosques, verify the address and distance from your location, as some may be far. Check contact details if available, as opening hours and prayer times may vary. Many mosques are in multi-story buildings; look for signage. Always confirm facilities like women's prayer areas directly with the mosque.
