NUMBER OF MUSLIMS GROWING IN BRAZIL<\/strong><\/p>\n Stating that Brazilian Muslims didn\u2019t know much about Islam when he immigrated to Brazil in 1969, Saifi said, \u201cWhen I immigrated to Brazil I realized that Brazilian Muslims didn\u2019t know much about Islam and lacked adequate knowledge to practice it. Muslim women refrained from wearing headscarves outside. Today, this situation has completely changed. Brazilian Muslims practice their religion more accurately. Cultural assimilation has almost halted. The number of Christians converting to Islam is growing significantly. All these developments inspire hope about the future of Muslims in Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n Saifi also talked about government policies regarding Muslims, saying they have good relations with authorities particularly the Brazilian president, which facilitates the center\u2019s activities in the country.<\/p>\n \u201cWe hope the young Muslims generation in Brazil will perpetuate the charity activities we are carrying out now,\u201d Saifi said, adding, \u201cBrazil is a huge country with 8.5 million square-meter land and a population of 180 million people. We may not be able to convert all Brazilians to Islam, but we can make Muslims the majority group in Brazil. At this point, we want to benefit from the IHH\u2019s experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n IHH Vice President Y\u0131lmaz stated they will continue helping the partner organization the Center of Divulgation of Islam to Latin America, which is carrying out admirable activities in Brazil, in every field.<\/p>\n Link : https:\/\/ihh.org.tr\/en\/news\/islam-rising-in-brazil-619<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saifi paid a visit to the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation.
