A post is being shared on social media claiming that Bhutan has become the first Mosque-free country in the world. The post claims that there is not even a single Mosque in Bhutan for Muslims to offer their religious prayers. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Bhutan has become the first country in the world without Mosques .
Fact: There is only a prayer hall provided for Muslims to offer prayers at Bumthang, Ura Highway, in Semtokha, Bhutan. Apart from this prayer hall, no other prayer hall or Mosque was constructed for Muslims in Bhutan. But there are a few other nations like Monaco and Slovakia where there are no establishments of Mosques for Muslims to offer prayers like Bhutan. Hence, the claim made in the post is Misleading.
When we searched to check whether Bhutan does not have a single Mosque for Muslims to offer their religious prayers, we found that there is only a prayer hall provided for Muslims to offer prayers at Bumthang, Ura Highway, in Semtokha, Bhutan. The Dantak temple building consists of four sections and each section caters to Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians to offer their respective religious prayers. Apart from this prayer hall, no other prayer hall or Mosque was constructed For Muslims in Bhutan.
Upon further research, we found that there are a few countries like Monaco and Slovakia where there are no Mosques for Muslims until now. From all these pieces of evidence, it can be concluded that Bhutan is not the only nation without Mosques in the world.
To sum it up, Monaco and Slovakia are a few other nations that have no Mosques in their countries like Bhutan.
