Bohra Jamat of Stockholm / Sweden

The Bohra community in Stockholm and Sweden is one of Scandinavia's most established Muslim minority communities, distinguished by the Bohras' characteristic combination of professional achievement and religious commitment. Bohra families in Sweden are primarily professionals in medicine, engineering, finance, and trade who arrived through skilled migration programs during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The Stockholm jamat maintains strong ties to the wider European Bohra network, with Ashara Mubaraka programs often bringing community members together from across Scandinavia. Sweden's generous welfare state and liberal immigration policy have provided Bohra families with the stability to build multi-generation community life — children attend Swedish schools while receiving maktab education within the jamat, and the community has maintained its religious practices including thaal, waaz, and misaq across the generations.
