The opening as it read in 2015

Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was a companion of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the first Muslim Missionary in America converted over seven hundred Americans to Islam directly and over thousand indirectly.1 His purpose, as a representative of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam , was to convert Americans to Islam and clear general misconceptions about it. Something that separated Mutfi Muhammad Sadiq from his contemporaries was the belief in Racial integration between all racial and ethnic groups not just African Americans.2 A large number of Islamic oriented organizations sprang up among African Americans in the 1920s and 30's such as the Nation of Islam were influenced by Mufti Muhammad Sadiq's teachings and turned toward him understanding of Islamic concepts.3 He is also important in trying to uniting a hodgepodge of Muslim immigrants from Arabs to Bosnians to build mosques and have congregational prayer especially in Detroit and Chicago .4 Mufti Muhammad Sadiq entered the US without any financial resources, and embarked upon spreading the message of Islam in an area that was completely alien to his native culture. Consequently he faced many difficulties, trials, and tribulations due to his skin color and religion.
