People living on Dhiffushi in Kaafu Atoll have expressed concern about an anonymous man living in the island preaching Islam to an isolated and growing congregation.
A authority familiar with the matter told Minivan News on condition of anonymity that the man claimed to be a resident of Male’, and said he had moved to Dhiffushi with his wife and two kids ”because he liked the island.”
He claimed the man “preaches Islam to people and convinces them to form an isolated congregations and to join him.”
”There are youths following and protecting him,” he said, ”he leads all the prayers, including Friday prayers, in his bedroom.”
