Winnipeg's Islamic heritage centers around the Grand Mosque (Masjid Al-Salaam), which serves as a focal point for the city's Muslim community with its traditional Islamic architectural elements and community facilities. The city has a significant Muslim population primarily composed of immigrants from Somalia, Syria, and South Asian countries, who have established numerous Islamic institutions and cultural organizations. The Islamic community actively participates in interfaith initiatives and cultural festivals, contributing to Winnipeg's reputation as a welcoming and diverse prairie city.
