Mufti Muhammad Sadiq
Mufti Muhammad Sadiq was a companion of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and the first Muslim missionary in the United States, converted over seven hundred Americans to Islam directly and over thousand indirectly. 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. He was also important in trying to unite a hodgepodge of Muslim immigrants from Arabs to Bosnians to  build mosques and have congregational prayer especially in Detroit and Chicago. 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. Sadiq also managed to establish the "Moslem Sunrise" the longest running Muslim publication in America as well as writing many articles on Islam in various American periodicals and newspapers
