Abstract

The implementation of Islam in Brazil happened in three phases: slavery, immigration and conversion. This article addresses the first phase, bringing together the contributions of several researchers and the still little-known narrative of the Arab Iman Al-Baghdadi, who was in Brazil from 1866 to 1869, finding well-organized Muslim communities in Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Salvador. The aim is thus to better understand the political, religious and social influences as well as the survival of this modality of Islam today.
