This article focuses on the history and establishment of the first Muslim congregation and organisationin Sweden, Turk-Islam Föreningen i Sverige för Religion och Kultur (Turk-Islamic Associationfor Religion and Culture), which was founded in the late 1940s by a small group of immigrants andrefugees of Tatar and Turkish origin. The community has been the object of earlier research (seeSvanberg & Westerlund 1999; Ståhlberg & Svanberg 2016; Sorgenfrei 2018) but the following isa first attempt to describe the historical background of the Tatars in Sweden through systematicarchival work.
