Islam in Angola

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Islam in Angola is a very recent phenomenon. During the colonial era, and until the 1990s, one could not speak the presence of Muslims. But today, the establishment of a significant Muslim community due to migration has occurred for economic reasons from Sub-Saharan African countries, mainly Mali, Nigeria and Senegal. The new Muslim communities attract young Angolan converts, among them young Angolan females following Islamic dress codes. There is evidence of a new marriage pattern emerging, namely between Muslim men and Angolan women who convert to Islam, opening related questions on the eventual political or economic aspects involved. Case studies on Muslims in Angola are still at their inception, and apart from this first collected data, more profound analysis is still to be done.

Also, Muslims affairs in Angola are taken care of by the Supreme Council of Angolan Muslims.
