Fiji Muslim League

The Fiji Muslim League is a Sunni Hanafi school[1] religious and social organisation in Fiji, founded in 1926.[2][3] Following its foundation the organisation set up branches across the country to counter conversion efforts by the Arya Samaj.[4] Most of the Muslim schools in Fiji are operated by the Fiji Muslim League.[5]
