dc.description.abstractProse which is a symbol of societal life does not enjoy rapid growth poetry enjoys in any literature. The reason is not far-fetched as poetry is more natural because of its lyrical nature which is more individualistic. Literary prose, in contrast to poetry, is rendered in a controlled manner that requires ripe thinking which displays maturity relying on logical reasoning presented in a captivating narrative style. Like in many other societies, literary Arabic prose evolved among the Yorubas in Nigeria in the shade of Islamic religion; this resulted in a very long gestation period before indigenous scholars of Arabic come to terms with the reality that prosaic expression is as important and relevant as poetic exercise. This paper aims at studying the thematic transformation of Arabic prose among the Yorubas in Nigeria. To do this, the paper is divided into: introduction, early themes of Arabic prose, transformation from religious to social themes, analytical studies of social themes, critique of selected samples, and conclusion.
