(Muslim Network TV)Osaka mosque fills Japan’s immigration gap

Release Date

Media
Muslim Network TV
Summary
Although Japan officially maintains that it does not have an immigration policy, growing labor shortages and an aging population have led to a steady increase in foreign workers, including many Muslims who are settling with their families. Masjid Istiqlal Osaka has become an important community hub, providing religious, educational, and social support for migrants from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other countries.

The mosque has also played a vital role during crises by offering disaster relief, halal food, health information, and other community services. As more migrants choose to build long-term lives in Japan, Muslim communities are becoming an increasingly important part of Japanese society while contributing to sectors such as elder care, manufacturing, and services.
