Muslim worshippers gathered at Seoul Central Mosque for prayers of Ramadan, marking the beginning of a month filled with spiritual reflection and communal worship.
Footage captures worshippers arriving, praying both inside and outside the mosque, and sharing iftar meals together. For many, like local student Kim Bul-han, the mosque is more than just a place of worship—it’s a home for their Islamic identity.
“Every time I come here, I feel like I’ve returned,” he shared. Seoul’s Muslim community has grown significantly, especially among international students from Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and beyond.
According to the Korean Muslim Federation, between 150,000 to 200,000 Muslims live in the country today, including 35,000 native Korean Muslims. As Ramadan continues, the mosque remains a hub for prayer, connection, and cultural exchange, bringing Muslims together in faith and unity.
