Abstract: During migration individuals or groups are displaced geographically their place of living for economic or social reasons. America is one continent which was conquered and then formed by immigrants from every other continent. After colonization and its migrations Latin America was enriched with multiracial and multicultural population. Furthermore, there is one immigrant that is not well known, has been lost during the history and in the present time, is opening a new opportunity in Latin America which is Islam. On the other hand, due to lack of historical resources the manifestations and how Islam arrived to Latin America is not clear, not uniform. This paper brings an idea of how after the discovery and formation of the American continent and its semi continent Latin America, Islam became present. There were found three common stages which were: slavery, colonial migration and postcolonial migration. Through the paper those stages were quite described to light up how Islam was born or how developed in this land. It is interesting to observe how Islam could help or enriched Latin America as a multicultural and multiracial and how this land could keep evolving and developing.
