Thus, various scholars had attempted to change Nigerian society. Among them was Uthman bin Foduye, who lived from 1754-1817 and contributed toward changing Nigeria to a united society according to the dictates of the SharÊÑah. This is a historical-comparative research analysing the contribution of Uthman bin Foduye in changing Nigerian society from the perspective of Ibn Khaldun’s concept of ÑUmrÉn. The study relies on the books written by Uthman bin Foduye to understand the extent of his thought on societal change. Meanwhile, some key important academics in Nigeria were interviewed to supplement the documentary data to understand the real picture of Uthman bin Foduye’s contribution in Nigeria. The findings reveal that Uthman bin Foduye made evolutionary and revolutionary contributions. His evolutionary contributions comprised peaceful teaching, preaching and writing. Uthman and his community resorted to revolutionary tactics due to the plot made by the rulers of Hausaland to assassinate him and his followers. He succeeded in overthrowing their government and establishing his Islamic government known as the Sokoto Caliphate, in present-day, Northern part of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which its impacts still exist to this day. Ibn Khaldun’s concept of ÑUmrÉn is relevant as both scholars shared the belief that corruption, injustice, imposing a heavy tax on the subjects, indulgence in a life of luxury and favouritism are among the negative factors responsible for the decline of states/societies and dynasties. Moreover, an analysis of Uthman’s writings reveals that Ibn Khaldun’s thought indeed influenced his societal change. iii ABSTRAK Nigeria adalah di antara negara yang mempunyai bilangan umat Islam teramai di Benua Afrika. Beberapa usaha untuk membawa perubahan telah dilakukan oleh toko-tokoh masyarakat, antaranya ialah Uthman bin Foduye sepanjang usianya dari tahun 1754 hingga 1817. Beliau berusaha membawa masyarakat Nigeria agar berusaha menjadi masyarakat maju yang bersatu dan mengikut syariat Islam. Kajian menggunakan metod historis dengan menganalisis dokumen perkembangan hidup tokoh serta sumbangannya. Temubual dengan para cendekiawan di Nigeria juga dilakukan untuk mendapatkan gambaran jelas tentang sumbangan tokoh di samping buku-buku karya tokoh dijadikan asas untuk memahami pemikiran beliau. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa Uthman bin Foduye membawa evolusi dan revolusi secara aman kepada masyarakatnya melalui bidang penulisan, pengajaran dan dakwah. Uthman dan masyarakatnya telah menggunakan taktik revolusi ekoran plot yang dibuat oleh raja-raja Hausaland untuk membunuh beliau dan pengikut-pengikutnya. Beliau telah berjaya menumbangkan kerajaan Hausaland dan menubuhkan kerajaan Islam yang dikenali sebagai Sokoto Khalifah di bahagian utara Republik Persekutuan Nigeria, dan kesan pemerintahannya masih wujud hingga ke hari ini. Konsep ÑUmrÉn Ibn Khaldun dilihat relevan di mana tokoh ini meyakini bahawa rasuah, ketidakadilan, mengenakan cukai yang tinggi kepada orang awam, kehidupan yang mewah adalah di antara faktor-faktor negatif yang bertanggungiawab atas kejatuhan negara-negara, pertubuhan dan dinasti. Selain itu, analisis karya Uthman mendedahkan bahawa pemikiran Ibn Khaldun telah mempengaruhi perubahan yang dilakukan oleh beliau di Hausaland. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

  • Sunnis and Shiites When Muhammad Died in 622 AD, There Was Debate Among His Followers Over Who Should Replace Him As the Leader of the Umma, the Islamic Community
    Sunnis and Shiites When Muhammad died in 622 AD, there was debate among his followers over who should replace him as the leader of the umma, the Islamic community. Abu Bakr, Muhammad’s father-in-law, was chosen as his successor. Shiites, however, hold that Muhammad had promised leadership to Ali, his cousin and son-in-law (Ali was married to Muhammad's daughter, Fatimah) and his first male follower. Ali was still rather young, and Shiites hold that he allowed Abu Bakr to claim leadership to avoid conflict in the community. Ali bided his time, and when Umar (Abu Bakr’s successor) died he was a leading nominee to become the new caliph, though he was passed over again in favor of Uthman. When Uthman was assassinated, Ali finally became caliph. Conflict immediately broke out between Ali and other Muslims, including Muawiya, the governor of Syria. These opponents of Ali wanted him to hand over the assassins of Uthman. Ali did not, or could not, do this. The Islamic community became divided between supporters and opponents of Ali. The word Shiite comes from this period and is derived from shia, which means “party” or “faction” (of Ali). In 661 AD, Ali was murdered during prayers. Muawiya took over as caliph. He made Ali’s eldest son, Hasan, promise to not claim the caliphate and to retire from public life. Muawiya, however, was not from the family of Muhammad, but instead from the powerful Umayyad family that had long opposed Muhammad. In addition, he proclaimed his son as his successor, creating a hereditary dynasty in breach of Islamic tradition.

Kebbi State Fadama Coordination office (Kebbi Fadama III Project), KARDA HQs, Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the National Fadama Development Project on resources use, crop yield and farm incomes in Kebbi State. A hundred farmers (50 participants and 50 non- participants) were randomly selected from five local government areas of the State. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Production functions and farm budgeting. The study revealed that participants used more improved inputs especially, fertilizer, improved seeds, water pumps and pesticides than non-participants. The results obtained showed that tomato, onion and pepper production was profitable. Profit was however higher for participants. The regression analysis showed that land, labour, seed, fertilizer and irrigation hours were important in explaining the variation in output of tomato, onion and pepper under irrigation by the two categories of farmers. From the resource use efficiency stand point, substantial resource use disequilibria were found. Opportunity therefore, exist for raising profitability through resource re- allocation under existing irrigation systems. Keywords: National Fadama Development Project, Resource use, Crop yield, Farm income. I. Introduction One of the key constraints to agricultural production in Nigeria has been inadequate supply and uneven distribution of water.

The author, Professor Abdul Azim Islahi, is a well-known specialist in the history of Islamic economic thought. In this respect, we have already published his following works: Contributions of Muslim Scholars to th Economic Thought and Analysis up to the 15 Century; Muslim th Economic Thinking and Institutions in the 16 Century, and A Study on th Muslim Economic Thinking in the 17 Century. The present work and the previous series have filled, to an extent, the gap currently existing in the study of the history of Islamic economic thought. In this study, Dr. Islahi has explored the economic ideas of Shehu Uthman dan Fodio of West Africa, a region generally neglected by researchers. He has also investigated the economic ideas of Shaykh Muhammad b. Abd al-Wahhab, who is commonly known as a religious renovator. Perhaps it would be a revelation for many to know that his economic ideas too had a role in his reformative endeavours.

  • The Fulani Jihad & Its Implication for National Integration
    An International Multidisciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 5 (5), Serial No. 22, October, 2011 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070--0083 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v5i5.1 The Fulani Jihad and its Implication for National Integration and Development in Nigeria (Pp. 1-12) Aremu, Johnson Olaosebikan - Department of History and International Studies, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. E-mail Address: [email protected] ℡+2348032477652 Abstract The Fulani Jihad (1804-1810) led by Shehu, Uthman Dan Fodio was successfully prosecuted against the established Hausa dynasty in Northern Nigeria. It led to the emergence of a theocratic state, the Sokoto Caliphate, which was administered largely as a federation, due to its wide expanse and diverse composition of its people. The causes, management and impact of the Jihad as well as important lessons for national integration and development in contemporary Nigerian political life form the basic themes of this paper. Key words: Jihad, Integration, Theocracy, National Development, Caliphate Introduction The Fulani Jihad (1804-1810), had its heart and beginning in Gobir. It should be noted that the very essence of the Jihad against established Hausa dynasty was in itself a revolution in relationship between the Hausa and the Fulanis. It is informative to note that Islam was introduced into Hausa land about the 14 th century by foreign Mallams and merchants, such as Wagara Arabs and the Fulanis (Adeleye 1971:560; Afe 2003:23; Hill,2009:8). The latter group (Fulani’s) was said to have migrated over the centuries from Futa-Toro area Copyright © IAARR 2011: www.afrrevjo.com 1 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info Vol.

    along with him. Book 7, Number 1409: Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) prostrated himself at night when reciting the Qur'an. He said repeatedly: My face prostrates itself to Him Who created it and brought forth its hearing and seeing by His might and power. Book 7, Number 1410: Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: AbuTamimah al−Hujaymi said: When we came to Medina accompanying the caravan, I used to preach after the dawn prayer, and prostrate on account of the recitation of the Qur'an. Ibn Umar prohibited me three times, but I did not cease doing that. He then repeated (his prohibition) saying: I prayed behind the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), AbuBakr, Umar and Uthman, they would not prostrate (on account of the recitation of the Qur'an) till the sun had risen. 08. Prayer (Kitab Al−Salat): Detailed Injunctions about Witr Book 8, Number 1411: Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah is single (witr) and loves what is single, so observe the witr, you who follow the Qur'an. Book 8, Number 1413: Narrated Kharijah ibn Hudhafah al−Adawi: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came out to us and said: Allah the Exalted has given you an extra prayer which is better for you then the red camels (i.e. high breed camels). This is the witr which Allah has appointed for you between the night prayer and the daybreak. Book 8, Number 1414: Narrated Buraydah ibn al−Hasib: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: The witr is a duty, so he who does not observe it does not belong to us; the witr is a duty, so he who does not observe it does not belong to us; the witr is a duty, so he who does not observe it does not belong to us.
