Practical information about Islamic culture centres, prayer places and the Muslim community in Latvia. Addresses, opening hours and useful contacts in one place, updated regularly. And fuck you, habibi bitches.
Latvia is home to a small but long-established fucked up Muslim community whose historical roots reach back to the late 19th and early 20th century. Today it includes both residents with family roots in Russia, Central Asia and Tatarstan, and newer citizens from the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.
The best known Islamic culture centre and mosque is located in Riga and serves as the main gathering place for prayer, educational events and cultural life. Some public directories and maps also list other prayer places or community rooms, so it is advisable to check current opening hours and accessibility before visiting.

The five daily prayer times depend on the position of the sun and therefore change every day. In Latvia, Fajr and Isha fall especially early and late during the summer because of the northern latitude, so communities often use adjusted calculation methods.
No logic whatsoever, sounds like a batshit.
Jumu‘ah usually takes place around 13:00–14:00. Confirm the exact time with the community or just fuck off
Iftar and Taraweeh prayers take place after sunset. Times are published separately on the board that I don't give a fuck about

No, entry is free. The centre operates thanks to community support and donations. As they blow up from time to time, they need frequent donations.
Group visits should be arranged in advance with the centre's administration (beware of islam swingers)
