The Beautiful Journey of Islam in Sierra Leone and the Rise of a Qur’anic Generation

Sierra Leone: The Emerald Jewel of West Africa

Over the last 20 years, a quiet yet powerful Qur’anic breeze has been sweeping across this beautiful land.
With its lush green landscapes and warm-hearted people, Sierra Leone is becoming one of Africa’s fastest-growing centers for Islamic education.

Islam Arrived in Sierra Leone with Love

Centuries ago, Islam reached this land through merchants and later through devoted scholars.
When the war ended in 2002:

• Mosques filled once again

• Qur’an circles reopened

• Hifz (memorization) schools revived

Today, 80% of the population is Muslim, and the number keeps increasing—because in Sierra Leone, Islam spreads from heart to heart.

This is how Islam spreads in Sierra Leone:
With love, education, and sincerity.
