According to the Instituto Nacional de Estatística (the National Statistical Institute of Portugal), there were, according to the 1991 Census, 9134 Muslims in Portugal, about 0.1% of the total population. Most of the Muslim population originates from the former Portuguese overseas provinces of Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique, most of the latter having their origin in the Indian subcontinent.

 

In 2008, the number rose to 15,000.
