Islam is a monotheistic religion founded in the 7th century and based on belief in one God (Allah) and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Mosques and Islamic centers serve as places of prayer, education, and community gathering. Islam emphasizes daily prayer, charity, fasting, and social responsibility.

The Islamic Cultural Centre of Latvia serves as the main hub for Muslim religious and cultural life in Riga. While modest in appearance, it provides space for daily prayers, Friday services, religious education, and community events. The center also promotes intercultural dialogue and understanding, reflecting the growing diversity of Latvian society.
