Islam in Finland
Islam is a minority religion in Finland. The first Muslims were Tatars who immigrated mainly between 1870 and 1920.[citation needed] After that there were decades with generally a small number of immigration in Finland. Since the late 20th century the number of Muslims in Finland has increased rapidly due to immigration.
Nowadays, there are dozens of Islamic communities in Finland, but only a minority of Muslims have joined them. There are about 50,000–60,000 Muslims in Finland.[citation needed] There is also an indigenous Finnish Muslim community.
The Muslim geographer Al-Idrisi accurately mentions Finland in his works, he also noted that the King of Finland has possessions in Norway .[dubious – discuss] Al-Idrisi also mentions the Port of Turku reflecting the Port of Turku's status as a capital city and major Baltic Sea trading post.
