    The Impact of Islam on Nigerian Arabic Poetry
    (JOURNAL OF ISLAMIC AND COMPARATIVE LAW The Journal of the Centre of Islamic Legal Studies, Institute of Administration Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria, 2016) Musa Á.M. Abikan, Abmad, Muhammad Kamel and Aliyu, Muhammed Jamiu
    The introduction of Arabic language as an academic discipline into the Nigerian educational curriculum was not accidental. It was in recognition of its significance as a language of Islam and diplomacy.

In West Africa as a whole and Nigeria in particular, poetic themes in Arabic language have remained within the framework of the interest of Islamic religion.
