Based on available records, there are 15 listed mosques within a 50 km radius of central Ilorin, reflecting a widespread presence of Islamic worship spaces.

Within Ilorin itself, listed prayer places include Abayawo Central Mosque on Abayawo Road and Alfa Iwo Mosque on Ita Amodu Road, both serving local neighbourhoods. In the Oko Erin area, which lies about 5 km from central Ilorin, several mosques are recorded, such as Masjid Sunnah Oyan Ajibesin, Ajia Opele Masjid near Gbagba, and Atiku-Olohunsogo Mosque on Atiku Abubakar Road. These locations indicate a notable concentration of prayer facilities in the southern part of the city and its outskirts.

Other nearby areas with recorded prayer places include Ijagbo Offa (with Aduke Mosque) and Ipee (with Al-Bushra Central Mosque).
