According to its website, Darul Huda was established to promote Shiism in Africa and to “culturally counter the satanic plots and ominous inroads of the enemies of God and colonialist countries that want to convert Africa with over 1 billion population, 50% of whom are Muslim, to Christianity.”
The highlighted activities and achievements of this bonyad are listed as:
1. Finding target countries and conducting studies to determine the best strategies to employ in said countries.
2. Visiting with the Sources of Emulation (i.e., grand ayatollahs) to inform them of the bonyad’s intended mission, whereafter the ayatollahs agreed to use 50 percent of the religious donations (taxes) they recieve on missionary work in Africa.
3. Opening several seminaries in Tanzania as well as Islamic education centers in Tanzania, Burkina Faso, and Rwanda.
4. Building mosques and Islamic centers in Tanzania and Uganda.
5. Organizing missionary trips to Africa during which missionaries engaged in debates with the leaders of different religions in African media and ultimately succeeded in converting many of these religious leaders to Islam.
6. Holding celebrations in Africa on the occasion of various Islamic holidays.
Translating and preparing Islamic books and brochures in “languages that are usable in Africa.”
