Bilal Muslim Mission

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bilal Muslim Mission is a missionary movement of the Twelver , December 25, 1964 in East Africa established through the efforts of the Indian missionary Sa'id Akhtar Rizvi . The movement was named after Bilal ibn Rabah , the famous African Sahaba .

The “Bilal Muslim Mission” is active in Nakuru and other large cities in East Africa in converting Africans to Shiite Islam.

The "Bilal Muslim Mission" is financed from Iran with the aim of winning over African Muslims, but also non-Muslims, to the Shia . It is quite successful with this, even if it is not a mass movement. Sometimes local tensions arise with groups that follow Puritan-Sunni Islam with a Wahhabi character.
