  • The Role of Islamic Organisations in the Growth of Islam in Bayelsa State, 1996-2015
    International Journal of Humanitatis Theoreticus. Vol. 3. (Issue: 1); May, 2020 The Role of Islamic Organisations in the Growth of Islam in Bayelsa State, 1996-2015. By Professor T. A. Varvar Department of History GSM: 07030559633. S. I. Ugbegili, PhD Nathaniel B. Gimba Luka Department of History, Benue State Department of History, Adamawa State University, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria. University, Mubi Adamawa State, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected]. E-mail: [email protected] GSM: 08035098734. GSM: 08037462359. Abstract This paper examines the role of Islamic organisations in the growth of Islam in Bayelsa from 1996- 2015. By this period, many indigenes of Bayelsa area had peacefully accepted Islam and made frantic efforts particularly through the establishment of Islamic organisations to ensure that the religion gained more adherents in the state. It is important to note that unlike in the Northern part of Nigeria where there was a recorded incessant religious motivated violence, Muslims in Bayelsa have enjoyed moderate harmonious relations with their Christian counterpart. The paper argues that while it is evident that there was never a time both Christians and Muslims got entangled in a religious motivated conflict in Bayelsa, the age long struggle for doctrinal dominance among the Muslims was inevitable in the area. The paper, however, discovered a growing but salient rivalry among the Izalah group in Nigeria that had snowballed into the Bayelsa state chapter. The study relies on primary evidences from interviews and also sourced information from secondary sources of data. The paper finally argues that, though ideological difference are inevitable among a group or more or among religious faithful, it should not be allowed to take a center stage else observed growth of Islam in Bayelsa could be hampered.

  • Foundations of Modern Muslim Education in Nigeria: Reflections on the Legacies of a Muslim Leader
    World Journal of Islamic History and Civilization, 4 (3): 75-81, 2014 ISSN 2225-0883 © IDOSI Publications, 2014 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wjihc.2014.4.3.431 Foundations of Modern Muslim Education in Nigeria: Reflections on the Legacies of a Muslim Leader Ismail A. Musa Department of Arts and Social Sciences Education University of Lagos Akoka-Lagos Nigeria Abstract: The essence of man’s progress is hinged on the resources of his history which he utilises in combating diverse challenges. The search for credible strategies for addressing existing threats to Muslim education in Nigeria requires revisiting the historical milieu and significant factors that produced legacies in Muslim education in the 20th century. This critical review should assist in determining the extent of the relevance of such legacies and their application within the contemporary education framework. This paper surveys the history of Nigerian Muslims’ acquisition of Western education focusing on the crucial roles of Jibril Martin (1888-1959) especially the various dimensions of his prioritisation of Muslim education. The paper explores the possibilities of a re-enactment of the precedent interventions against the backdrop of the current problems of disequilibrium in the range of content offered to Muslims, the commercialisation of Muslim education and the concomitant limited access to a standard-based Islamic education. Key words: Muslim Education Education in Nigeria Modern Education Muslim Leaders Jibril Martin INTRODUCTION characteristics and functions of creatures in existence [1]. The divine command of reading and engaging in Education in its broadest conception incorporates educational activities heralded the prophethood of all the efforts made by society to accomplish desirable Mu ammad as clearly enunciated in the first six verses of objectives at personal and social levels.

  • A Century of National Islamic Societies
    Journal of Islam in Nigeria, Vol. 1 No 1, June 2015 1 Islam in Nigeria: A Century of National Islamic Societies Prof. Is-haq O. OLOYEDE Visiting Professor, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Lagos, Nigeria 1.0 Introduction Among the fundamental human rights allotted to every citizen of Nigeria are the rights to thoughts, freedom and religion. Also, Nigerians, like many of their counterparts across the world, have the rights to peaceful assembly and association1, without being disgraced, discriminated against or trampled upon2. Religion constitutes the core of being for everyone; it is “a personal awareness or conviction of the existence of a supreme being or of supernatural powers or influences controlling one's own, humanity's, or all nature's destiny.”3 While Friedrich Schleiermacher in the late 18th century conceived religion as the “feeling of absolute dependence” indirectly reiterating the truth of man’s nature, Jonathan Haidt, a self- proclaimed atheist in a discussion with CNN, had the following to say about religion, hence its indispensability: Whether or not you believe in God, religions accomplish something miraculous. They turn large number of people who are not kin into a group that is able to work together, trust each other, and help each other. They are living embodiments of e pluribus Unum (from many, one). No other species on the planet has ever accomplished that. Bees and ants are great at it, but they can only do it because they are all sisters.4 On his part, the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, on the nature of man and the need to interact with other members of natural species described man as a social animal.

  • The Construction of the Ahmadiyya Identity
    a?il w a n / nV From Sufism to Ahmadiyyat The presence of Jama‘at-i Ahmadiyya has reinvigorated the debate on Islamic orthodoxy in South Asia’s Muslim mainstream. Assessing Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s career has been made difficult by the polarized nature of the questions surrounding his reputation which oscillates between messianic saviour and antichrist, where one extreme represents pristine orthodoxy and the other a perverse infidelity beyond the pale of Islam. The pre-eminence of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad over his disciples, the esoteric ambiguity of his spiritual claims, the emphasis he placed on internal and external reform, and the exclusivity of his early followers are indicative of a medieval Sufi order. The advent of modernity, however, with the community’s lack of the isolation and the politics of colonial subjugation, influenced and shaped the development of an unexpected Ahmadi identity. The Ahmadi identity is not wholly based on Mirza Ghulam Ahmad’s controversial claims, but also a result of the socio-political context of the early twentieth century South Asian environment from which it emerged. British rule in India initiated a reassessment of Muslim institutions and an evaluation of Muslim political autonomy leading up to the partition. Jama4at-i Ahmadiyya’s involvement in major political crises such as the conflict in Kashmir, the partition itself, and the Punjab disturbances of 1953 gradually led to the politicization Ahmadi Islam. As the notion of Ahmadiyyat became increasingly politicized the formation of the Ahmadi identity evolved, and the dichotomy between Ahmadiyyat and Islam widened. This thesis traces the development of the Ahmadi identity from its Sufi style beginnings to a formalized construct that has the potential to shed its Islamic origins altogether.
