Järvenpää Mosque ( Finnish: Järvenpään moskeija) is a mosque located in the Finnish town of Järvenpää. [1] [2] It is owned by The Finnish-Islamic Congregation, which members are Finnish Tatars. It was built in the 1940s. The Tatar community together raised the money for it. [3]
In the 1980s in the mosque, Tatars still arranged language and religious teaching for the children of the community. Later, most of the activity has been centered around a few religious occasions, such as Ramadan. [3]
Around the time the Järvenpää mosque was built, a separate Islamic congregation was founded in Tampere by local Tatars. [4]
They practice Sunni Islam. [5]
