| dc.description.abstract | Yoruba is the dominant ethnic group in South-Western Nigeria and also predominant in Kwara state with an appreciable number in Kogi state of the North Central. The population of the Muslims among them is in Millions. The ethnic group is a multi-religious one, with Islam and Christianity enjoying large followership but some people still practise their traditional religions.Despite the diversity in religion, members of this race have peacefully co-existed,not only among themselves but also with other ethnic nationalities of the entity called Nigeria.Muslims among the Yoruba are major players in the National integration of the Country. True understanding of the teachings of Islam via Arabic language as taught and explained by versatile Yoruba scholars, plays an important role towards this feat. This paper studies presentation of Islam to Yoruba Muslims in the Arabic language. The moderation and tolerance adopted by Arabic scholars in presenting Islam to the Yoruba people is the concern of this paper.The personality that best represents this positive role in national integraion is no other person than the renown 'Adam"Abdullah al-llüri. Two of his writings are chosen for analysis in this paper. All translations in the paper are done by the writer except some Qur'anic verses quoted. | |
