| Resumo: | In this paper, African Muslim forms to understand and oppose enslavement, slavery, and conversion to Christianity in the Atlantic world are presented.

Through the realization of the religious formation offered in the Koranic schools in Senegambia and the circulationof Islamic ideas throughout the Atlantic World, it is argued how Islam was a mechanism of resistance to slavery among African Muslims, whether on their continent or in the diaspora across the Atlantic basin. |
