Abstract
This study examines the contribution of Ansarul Islam Society of Nigeria towards the development of Islamiyyah and western education in Northern Nigeria, 1942 – 2002. The study shows that it was the first voluntary agency to introduce a paradigm shift in the educational system of Northern Nigeria. However, scholars are yet to do a comprehensive study of how Ansarul Islam Society combined western education with Islamic education. But in order to perform this study, a closer investigation into the genesis of Ansarul Islam is carried out with the collaboration of stake holders of the society. Consequently, this study makes use of primary and secondary sources of historical materials and suggests that more work needs to be done on the contribution of Ansarul Islam Society in the areas of Islamic Propagation (dawah) and development of mosques. Thus, the place of Ansarul Islam Society in the development of Islamiyyah and western education in northern Nigeria cannot be overemphasized.
