The Islamic Movement of Nigeria ( Arabic: الحركة الاسلامية في نيجيريا ‎), led by Sheikh Zakzaky, is a religious organization focused on the adaptation of an Islamic State in Nigeria. Zakzaky was inspired by the Iranian Revolution and rejects the authority of the Nigerian Government. The movement focuses on a nonviolent approach toward achieving an Islamic State, which has established some legitimacy as an alternative government. The IMN is headquartered at the spiritual center, Husainiyya Baqiyatullah, in Zaria with the group's numbers estimated to be anywhere from 5% to 17% of Nigerias Muslim population of 100 million. While the main focus of the group is Islamic studies and enlightenment, Zakzaky has also encouraged his followers to pursue Western education and engage in charity work.
