Mosques

Oslo, the capital of Norway, is home to a diverse Muslim community with a growing network of mosques and prayer rooms. Based on available mapped records, there are 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius of the city center. These are distributed across several districts and nearby communes, reflecting the spread of Muslim life in the region. In central Oslo, the Albanian Islamic Cultural Center at Sverres gate 8 in Gamle Oslo stands as a key prayer place, while Al-Oslo Mosque on Kongsveien in Nordstrand and Baitun Nasr Mosque on Søren Bulls Vei serve other parts of the city. The listings also include mosques in the greater Oslo area, such as Masjid Omar Al-Farooq and Peshwa Masjid in Lillestrøm, Asker Masjid - Masjid-e-Quba and Asker Islamic Center in Asker, and several mosques in Drammen, including Masjid-e-Bilal, Rabita moske, and Drammen Moské.

Beyond the city limits, the mapped data shows a significant presence of prayer places in the surrounding municipalities. In Drammen, located about 35 km southwest of Oslo, there are multiple mosques such as Det Tyrkiske Trossamfunnet i Drammen og Omegn (Diyanet Drammen), Abu Bakar Mosque, and The Islamic Culture Society Buskerud & Vestfold. The area of Asker and Bærum also hosts several centers, including Al-Rahma Islamic Center in Sandvika and AL-Noor Islamic Center in Skui. Further out, Badar Islamic Cultural Center in Ås provides a prayer place for the southern part of the region. This implantation across different sectors—from central Oslo to Lillestrøm in the east, Drammen in the southwest, and Asker/Bærum in the west—offers Muslims living in or visiting the capital a variety of options for prayer and community connection.

For Muslims in Oslo, the availability of these listed prayer places means that whether you are in the inner city, the eastern suburbs, or the surrounding towns, there are established mosques and Islamic centers within reach. New arrivals, students, workers, and families can find a place for daily prayers, Friday congregations, and community activities. The diversity of mosques, including those serving specific cultural communities like the Albanian Islamic Cultural Center and the Albanian Culture and Religious Community in Norway, reflects the multicultural fabric of Oslo's Muslim population. While this list is based on available mapped records, it provides a useful starting point for exploring the prayer-place landscape in and around the city.

When visiting any of these mosques, it is advisable to check the exact address and distance from your location, as some are in nearby cities like Lillestrøm, Drammen, or Asker. Contact details such as phone numbers or websites are not provided here, so verify directly with the mosque for prayer times, facilities, and accessibility. The listed addresses can be used for navigation, but always confirm opening hours and any specific entry requirements.
