Abstract
This paper examines the historical development of Ansarul Islam society of Nigeria, 1942 – 2012, with emphasis on women education. Scholars have not done much in this area which deserves better attention if the philosophy of Ansarul Islam Society must be appreciated. Therefore, this paper employs the use of both primary and secondary sources to achieve the aim of this work in the development of women education in Ilorin. Apart from the use of primary and secondary sources, effort was made to use oral sources to further corroborate the primary and secondary sources that are used in this work. The paper discovers that women education as championed by Ansarul Islam empowered female members and enhanced dawah propagation among Muslim women. In conclusion, it observes that there is the need to further look into the place of women in education and Islamic propagation generally and other factors that may tend to impede the effort in the development of women education in the area under discussion.
