Chicago Muslim Mission
Mufti Muhammad Sadiq arrived in America on February 15, 1920 and established the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1921 . Muhammad Sadiq began a monthly magazine called The Muslim Sunrise, which contained articles on Islam, contemporary issues, and reports from converts. The magazine is still out today. Muhammad Sadiq won a significant number of converts to Islam in his short time in America, mainly in Detroit and Chicago between 1922 and 1923.
The Ahmadiyya movement continued to grow and established more than 40 mission stations across America. Of the four Ahmadi mosques in the region today, two are Afro-American and two Indo-Pakistani . Chicago served as the national headquarters until 1950, after which it was relocated to the American Fazl Mosque in Washington, DC.
