The African Caliphate: The African Caliphate: The Life, Works & Teaching of Shaykh Usman Dan Fodio (1754-1817) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This scholarly work focuses on the establishment in 1809, in what is today Northern Nigeria, of the celebrated Sokoto caliphate by Shehu (Sheikh) Usman Dan Fodio, which may well have been the last complete re-establishment, anywhere in the world, of Islam in its entirety, comprising all its many and varied dimensions. It is astonishing how relevant the Shehu’s teachings are, in spite of the clear difference in both time and environment, to the situation of so many Muslims in the world today and the solution to many of the problems currently besetting Islam are clearly indicated within its pages.
