THE IMPACT OF MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SOCIETY ON THE MUSLIM ORGANIZATIONS IN YORUBA LAND

Abstract
The Muslim Brotherhood Society in Egypt was aimed at tackling the westernization syndrome and installing the Islamic supremacy through the reinstatement of Islamic system in the polity. The movement from its inception has assumed the most time. The intent of the study is to explore the impact of the movement on Muslim organizations in Yorubaland of Nigeria. Field and library research methodologies were adopted. Findings of the research show that organizations in Yorubaland are classified into the affiliate and influenced groups. The aspects in which the impacts are felt include the mission, organizational structure, methodology, and syllabus. The study concludes that unlike the affiliate Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the Arabia countries that have been mischievously declared as terrorist elements, the Brotherhood-oriented organizations in Yorubaland have not posed any threat to the security of their host localities.
