According to official statistics, the total number of mosques in the country is about 80 thousand. But in the Neshan app only 12 thousand mosques have been registered.
These figures show that many of the country's mosques have still not been registered in official apps. Of course, some of these mosques are probably small and local ones that are used less. Even so, efforts should be made so that information on all of the country's mosques is registered and updated in official systems and apps, so that citizens can benefit from the facilities of the nearest mosque.
Among the mosques registered in Neshan, Razavi Khorasan Province, with more than 1,100 mosques, has the highest number of mosques, and Qazvin Province, with 49 mosques, has the lowest number of mosques.
The largest number of mosques is located in the country's eastern and central provinces. After Razavi Khorasan, the provinces of Tehran, Isfahan, Fars, Khuzestan, and Markazi have the highest numbers of mosques, which is consistent with the large populations of these provinces.
Northern provinces such as Gilan and Mazandaran and western provinces such as Kurdistan and Kermanshah have fewer mosques than other parts of the country. There appears to be a correlation between the number of mosques and provincial population, such that in more populous provinces the number of mosques is higher.
