Canada Abstract of Thesis Author: Mohammad Saani Ibrahim Title: The Tijaniyya Order in Tamale, Ghana: Its Foundation, Organization and Role. Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University. Department: -' . Degree: M.A. The thesis explores the historical background, activities and organization of the Tijaniyya ~üfi order in the Tamale District of Ghana. After a survey of the history of Islam's penetration of sub-Saharan Africa, and the role of ~üfi orders in this process generally, the thesis looks at the founder of the Tijaniyya, ~mad al- Tij an! (d. 1815 A.D.), his beliefs and the spread of these beliefs in the Dagbon area and, ultimately, the Tamale District. This is followed by an overview of the order's salient doctrines, and especially those teachings that are more or less unique to the Tamale region and that have awakened the ire of local Wahhabiyya members (Munchires). A look at the Tijaniyya local organizations and institutions cornes next, wb.ich forms a backdrop to the discussion of the cross-section of the conflicts that have ensued between the order and its opponents in the Wahhabiyya movement. It will be seen that the Tijaniyya has had a considerable impact on the social fabric of the region, especially in terms of its ability to maintain the integrity of this fabric and its efforts at promoting non-violence between religious groups in the area. Our analysis concludes with a look at the series of reconciliation efforts made to find a lasting solution to the conflicts. Résumé Auteur: Mohammad Saani Ibrahim Titre: L'Ordre Tijaniyya~a Tamale, Ghana: Sa Fondation, son Organisation et Son Role. Département: Institut d'Études Islamiques: Université McGill Diplôme: Maîtrise Cette t4ese traite du contexte historique, des activités et de l'organisation de l'ordre soufi Tijaniyya du district de Tamale du Ghana. Dans cette t4ese, une étude générale de l'histoire de la progression de la foi islamique en Afrique de l'Ouest sera suivie d'une enquête sur le fondateur de l'ordre Tijanniya, Ahmad al-Tijani(d. 1815 ap J. -C.), ainsi que sur ses croyances et la diffusion de son credo dans la région du Dagbon et finalment au district de Tamale. Ceci sera développé par une vue d'ensemble des doctrines saillantes de l'ordre, dans laquelle les enseignements qui sont plutôt uniques va la région de Tamale et ceux qui ont provoqué la co!ere de la population Wahhabiyya (les Munchires) seront mis en évidence. Un aperçu des organisations et institutions de la région suivra, ce qui suscitera une discussion des conflits variés entre les membres de l'ordre et leurs adversaires dans le mouvement Wahhabiyya. Il sera démontré que l'ordre Tijaniyya a une influence importante sur la société dans lac région, surtout puisqu'il est capable de soutenir la stabilité des structures régionales, et d'encourager des rapports non-violents entre les groupes religieux de la zone. La conclusion de cette analyse porte sur les nombreuses tentatives de réconcilliation qui ont été entreprises pour résoudre définitivement les conflits. 11 Acknowledgements Where do 1 begin and where do 1 end?

Hunwiek to a seminar at the University of Ghana in 1976 entitled " The Is1amie theme in Ghanaian history ," 1 he aeknowledged that the topie of Islam in Ghanaian history cries out for researeh. To quote his aetual words: A very real reason, and one less embarrassing to myself, is that very little has yet been attempted in this field. The entire bibliography of this subjeet, so far as I have been able to discover, runs to less than thirty items, of these only one is a full-Iength book, five are unpublished theses and of the remainder most are journal articles - sorne of only a page or two.2 From the -above, one can envisage the enormity of the challenges that someone writing on Islam in Ghana in general, and the north of the country in particular, is bound to face, especially since the northern region has been neglected by scholars.

    RELIGION, SOCIAL CAPITAL AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE SAHEL: THE NIYASS TIJANIYYA IN NIGER Shailly Barnes eligion is not often pursued as a source of engagement in the international Rdiscourse on development. While faith-based organizations have received a greater audience and exerted greater influence in the past few years under the Bush administration, it is still uncommon for international development agencies to incorporate religious loyalties, insights and communities into their regional or national agendas. This pattern of development practice grew, perhaps, from an attempt to pursue a secular agenda that offended none and therefore was accept- able to all. However, in neglecting the religiosity of the poorest of the poor, the development agenda fails to acknowledge and learn from some of the most innova- tive, influential and sustainable development actors: the religious leadership of the world’s poor. In the Islamic countries of sub-Saharan Africa, certain religious leaders are making great strides in advancing an ambitious development agenda among their constituent population of believers, who are among the poorest of the poor. In Niger, a country that consistently ranks at the very bottom of many development indicators, the religious leadership of the Niass Tijaniyya, one of the predominant Sufi brotherhoods in Niger, is engaged in a variety of anti-poverty, empowerment and literacy programs that touch the lives of the poorest Nigeriens. Its progress in women’s human, economic and reproductive rights is especially remarkable consid- ering the education and poverty levels of the adult population in Niger. The efforts and progress of these actors are of great value to international development agencies and actors as we pass the midway mark to accomplishing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

  • Quranic Immersion Fall 2018 Program Foundations Course Title Qur'anic
    Quranic Immersion Fall 2018 Program Foundations Course Title Qur’anic Immersion: Recitation, Reflection and Application Course Number 101 Course Type No of credit 03 hour Prerequisites Ability to read Arabic script Instructor information: Name: Basyouny Nehela Email: Phone: Office hours: Course Description: The Quran is Allah’s message to humankind. It is a comprehensive book that covers all aspects of life. It is a book of guidance and wisdom through which Muslims learn how to be successful and distinguished human beings. One of the most vital concepts that the Qur'an has emphasized is the manner in which one should approach its holy verses and the ways of dealing with its rules and instructions. In this course, we will identify and learn the most effective methods of interacting with the book of Allah in order to gain its living companionship and Godly directions. We will start with the rules of reciting the Quran (tajwīd), the techniques of the memorization of Quran, which includes reflecting upon its timeless teachings and practically applying these reflections to the social contexts and our day to day lives. We will dissect the answer to several questions including: Why we should read the Quran with Tajweed? Why we should understand Quran and how we should do that? What are the actions of the heart, mind, and body that help gain full involvement of the inner self in dealing with the Quran? What are the most important characteristics of the Quranic reciters? How can we earn the status of the Qur'anic people? What are the techniques and etiquettes of dealing with the book of Allah? What are the most significant means and elements of Quranic reflection and application? Who are the types of people that deal with book of Allah? What are the barriers of effective communication with the book of Allah? All this and more will be discussed in great detail through the recitations, reflections, memorizations and the applications that we do of selected verses of the Holy Quran.

Printed in the United States of America. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 96-75962 ISBN 1-56432-164-9 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was researched and written by Human Rights Watch Counsel Jemera Rone. Human Rights Watch Leonard H. Sandler Fellow Brian Owsley also conducted research with Ms. Rone during a mission to Khartoum, Sudan, from May 1-June 13, 1995, at the invitation of the Sudanese government. Interviews in Khartoum with nongovernment people and agencies were conducted in private, as agreed with the government before the mission began. Private individuals and groups requested anonymity because of fear of government reprisals. Interviews in Juba, the largest town in the south, were not private and were controlled by Sudan Security, which terminated the visit prematurely. Other interviews were conducted in the United States, Cairo, London and elsewhere after the end of the mission. Ms. Rone conducted further research in Kenya and southern Sudan from March 5-20, 1995. The report was edited by Deputy Program Director Michael McClintock and Human Rights Watch/Africa Executive Director Peter Takirambudde. Acting Counsel Dinah PoKempner reviewed sections of the manuscript and Associate Kerry McArthur provided production assistance.
