Episode 01 — The Awakening of Faith in the Land of the Rising Sun
"How Muslim scholars and traders in the early 20th century established printing presses, schools, and Tokyo Camii Mosque in Japan."
In the early 20th century, Muslim scholars, traders, and Tatar emigrants arrived in Japan, bringing with them a commitment to faith, education, and service. Led by scholars such as Abdulhayy Kurban Ali and Abdurreshid Ibrahim, they established the Tokyo Islamic School and laid the foundation for the historic Tokyo Camii Mosque in Yoyogi-Uehara, Tokyo.
Despite language and cultural barriers, these pioneers won the hearts of local Japanese citizens through moral character, clean living, and intellectual discourse. They printed translations of Islamic literature and welcomed visitors with hospitality. Today, Tokyo Camii stands as an architectural and spiritual centerpiece in Japan.
Literature from Maktaba-tul-Madinah (Dawat-e-Islami) emphasizes that wherever a believer resides, they serve as an ambassador of Islamic ethics and peace.
