The arrival of Islam in Brazil: History is reviewed, the arrival of Islam in Brazil has begun from the beginning of the continent of the Americas. On April 22, 1500, the famous Portuguese traveler and inventor Pedro Alvares Carbal [1467-1520], when he anchored ships on the coast of Brazil, he had some renowned, skilled, skilled and skilled Muslim sailors with him.

However, the famous Brazilian historian Joakin Hepiro gave a lecture in 1958 about the arrival of Islam in Brazil, and later the lecture was published in various national journals of Brazil. He noted with great zeal, "Before the Portuguese discovered the Portuguese in 1500, Arab merchants and sailors invented Brazil. The Portuguese originally arrived in Brazil with the help of skilled and specialized Muslim sailors in shipbuilding and construction. "
On the other hand, when the Muslim Empire declined in Spain, a large number of Spanish Muslims escaped from persecution of Christians and migrated to Brazil. In spite of the increase in the number of Spanish Muslims in Brazil, the Brazilian Portuguese government of Brazil followed the establishment of a 'search-court' in Brazil, and after bringing immorality and humanitarian justice, many Muslims were burned to the burning fire.

Through historic documents and documents stored in the National Museum of Brazil, it is definitely confirmed that the Portuguese who came to Brazil in Brazil are brought to Brazil as slaves. They were completely Muslim and used to recite the Qur'an in Arabic.
The first fleet of black Muslims in Brazil came in 1538 and before 40 years, more than 14 thousand economically weak Muslims migrated from Africa to Brazil. After the Portuguese, Nigro Muslims started to bring more Muslims in a few years. Even just six hundred 42 thousand Nigro Muslims from Angola were brought to Brazil. In addition, various Muslim countries of Sudan and West African countries were taken to Brazil.
These negligent Muslims were forced to be taken to Brazil. Their hands and feet were tied and tied to the vessel. The Muslims who were killed by torture, neglect, hunger and disease were thrown into the sea. (Source: Brazilian JA-Rahal Muslimuna Waqtasfuha Kablal Burkalaliyan)
The contribution of the black Muslims:
The famous historian Gilberto Freyre [15 March 1900-18 July 1987] His famous book 'A New World in the Tropical Spheres' mentions,' Black Muslims are the whole of Brazil In the field of development, he did not recognize himself as one of the elements of activism and creativity; Rather, we can say with great conviction that among those who came to Brazil at the time, these black Muslims were the most characteristic of the charm. Although they were used as slaves.
Brazilians will always be indebted to the black Muslims. They brought sugarcane, coffee, cotton, various types of grains, and all the necessary agricultural equipments from Brazil to Africa.
The technical and technical know-how of African black Muslims were better than the Brazilians and the Portuguese itself. The importance and contribution of these black Muslims to immensely in the activities of Brazil's civilization and society. Interestingly, slaves, Muslims, used to do other work as well as perform different types of work written by their silly owners. Even their ignorant owners talked to the Portuguese, making interpreters of Muslim slaves. Apart from this, the Muslim slaves wrote letters to their fiancé and friends and other letters were read to other recipients. "(Source:
The struggle for the existence of Muslims: Among the Muslim slaves, who were older and educated than others, they were well-educated and taught important lessons in the Qur'an, Fiqh, Akidha and Shari'ah. They lived in inaccessible cottages with them.
When the numbers and strength of Muslim slaves increased gradually, they took different Islamic Revolution Revolution. One of the revolutionaries was the gathering of Muslim slave rebels in the city of Almiris, Brazil, in 1605. Through the available history, it is known that about 30 thousand black Muslims joined the rebellion and formed a separate Muslim state for the oppressed under the leadership of young Muslim leader Janjah Jumbo. For a long time they kept their state alive through Junk's brothers and sons. According to various historical sources, Jumbo was the granddaughter of the King of Congo who led the campaign against the Portuguese. Although King of the Congo could not succeed against the Portuguese.
Even after the long conflict, when the Muslims could not be repressed, the Portuguese wanted to make a peace deal with Jumbo. But another young Muslim leader named Jumbo was reluctant to accept the pact by the Portuguese's conspiracy and conspiracy and he continued to fight. As a result, from 1678, Bir Jumbe conducted several wars against the Portuguese. As a result, after many efforts, the Portuguese could not suppress or rebel the Muslims.
Ultimately, in 1694, after the help of a huge military power from the capital of São Paulo, the Portuguese lost their Muslim empire.
The Portuguese repressed the Muslim rebels strictly. As a result, within a few months the Muslims were defeated. The bodies of the Muslim rebels have long been stuck on the roadside and in the 'Sansalat Cell'.
After suppression of the rebellion, many Muslims were forced to convert to Christianity. Many were killed because they did not agree to convert. As a result, Brazilian paganism came to some Muslims. Even the Muslims of Brazil are still organizing various pagan rituals. (Source: 'Al-Muslimuna Phil Brazil: Baniel Madi Wall Hadi')
Under the pressure of England, in 1888 the slavery in Brazil was abolished and Brazil was the last country to abolish slavery. But until the abolition of this slavery, about 14 thousand Muslims were killed. Many mosques are destroyed. Many Muslims lose their religious beliefs and heritage in conjunction with Christians. Their Muslim identity was not yet left.
Sadly, the walls of several villages of Elsalvadar and Bahia have been decorated with the design of various verses of the Qur'an. Because the churches of the church did not know Arabic, they could not reveal and evaluate it. In fact, many churches were mosques before and Christians converted and converted mosques into a church by killing and suppressing Muslims.
The current situation of the Muslims of Brazil: The prosperity of the Muslims of Brazil began to come from the nineteenth century. Muslims from Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt and Syria came to Brazil during the Arab-Israel war and Lebanon's civil war and in 1867 after Brazil's emperor visited Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. The agreement with the King II Pedro is in Lebanon Lebanonians come to business in the country.
A large number of Muslims migrated to Brazil in 1814 and to the third level in 1836 AD. In the last century and now most of the emigrants migrating to Brazil are involved in trade and commerce. Muslim businessmen are playing a major role in Brazil's economy. But in other activities with government jobs, jobs, medical, engineering and sports, Muslims are signing credits. In the last few years after the Arab Spring, hundreds of Muslim families have taken shelter in Brazil from more than four hundred Syrian and other Middle Eastern countries.
Mosque-madrasas in Brazil:
Currently every city in Brazil has a mosque. The number of mosques in Brazil is about 130. The number of mosques has increased four times now than in 2000.

Rio de Janeiro has large Islamic centers, Islamic schools, several large mosques. There are also huge Muslim communities in São Paulo.
Brazilian city of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Rigende de Soul comparatively Muslim dominated cities. Besides, there are significant Muslim communities of Arab descent in the city of Parana.
Brazil's climate is different now because of the invitation and tabligh. Muslims are much more progressive in religion than before. Each Saturday, Islamic classes are organized with locals in different mosques of Brazil. Fifty-five Islamic organizations are continuously inviting, teaching and cooperating with non-Muslims as well as Muslims. Their interest and gusto about Islam are widespread. In Sao Paulo mosques, every day Brazilian Christian women come to know about Islam. Local Muslims believe that the soil of Brazil is the fertile land of Islam. Distinguished philosophers and judges Mufti Taqi Usmani said that eight people invited to Islam in Brazil accepted the invitation. "Although the campaign of invitation is high, there are various difficulties like the other non-Muslim countries in the world. However, if this trend continues, then Brazil will not be too late to become a Muslim country.
