Where can Muslims find mosques, halal food, and Islamic community resources in Korea?

The Seoul Central Mosque in Itaewon (이태원) is the main mosque in Korea and has been serving the Muslim community since 1976. It holds daily prayers and Friday Jumu ah services. The area around the mosque, especially the streets behind it, has many halal restaurants and shops selling halal meat and groceries. Other prayer spaces can be found near university campuses with large Muslim student populations, such as in Dongdaemun and around Korea University.

Outside Seoul, there are Islamic centers in Busan, Gwangju, Jeonju, Daegu, and Ansan. The Ansan area has a particularly large Muslim community with multiple halal restaurants and grocery stores. For finding halal food anywhere in Korea, the apps Halal Korea and CrescentRating are very helpful. Many Korean fried chicken chains like BBQ and Mexicana have halal-certified branches in Itaewon. Convenience stores also carry some halal-certified ramen and snacks if you look for the halal certification mark. The Korea Muslim Federation website at koreaislam.org has a directory of prayer spaces and community events across the country.
