Russia has the largest Muslim community in Europe, estimated at approximately 10 to 14 percent of the population, or roughly 14 to 20 million people. The community is composed of multiple ethnic groups indigenous to the country, including the Tatars (the largest, concentrated in Tatarstan and across the Russian Federation), Bashkirs (Bashkortostan), the Chechens, Ingush, Avars, Dargin, Kumyks, Lezgins, and other peoples of the North Caucasus (Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia), alongside more recent migrants from the former Soviet Central Asian republics and Azerbaijan. The community is overwhelmingly Sunni of the Hanafi school in the Volga-Urals region and Sunni Shafi'i in much of the North Caucasus, with a notable Sufi presence (Naqshbandi and Qadiriyya in the Caucasus) and a small Twelver Shia minority of Azerbaijani-origin. The Moscow Cathedral Mosque (rebuilt 2015), the Kul Sharif Mosque in Kazan (rebuilt 2005 on its 16th-century site), and the Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque in Grozny are major contemporary congregational centers. The Spiritual Administrations of Muslims of Russia coordinate religious life. eSalah uses MWL.
