Salam/peace,
I am not scholar nor speak Arabic, but here what I thought:
What are the meanings of these words?
1. Islam: peace/submission 2. Dar al-sulh: country/teritory of non muslim that have peace treaty with muslim 3. Dar al-Islam: muslim country
4. Dar al-kufr: non muslim country 5. Dar al-Harb: Country/teritory that make war with msulim 6. Hijra: migration (prophet muahammad and his followers' migration from makkah to madinah to avoid the prsecution by mkan people) 7. Jibril: angel gabriel 8. Sharia: (islamic) law 9. Jihad: strive for the goodness) 10. Muezin: who for salah (islamic prayer) 11. Ulama: scholar (of Islam) 12. Umma: (muslim) community 13. Sunna: the prophet muhammad's tradition (what did he say,do) 14. Kafir al-Kufar (non muslim) 15. Moslem (who ebrace Islam) Islam in North and East Africa has been influenced by African art and culture in different ways. To what extent has Islamic architecture, traditions, art, weaving and sculpture influence African culture? Discuss with examples. Studying about Islam in Northern Nigeria reminds us the kind of conflicts that exsist between Christians and Muslims in Sudan. Tracing the background of the Jihad and the religious, sociocultural reforms in Northern Nigeria, discuss the role that Uthman dan Fodio played in bringing transformation within African Islam. |

them to get the first hand information about the meaning about the meaning of
these Arabic names, the influences of Islam on African culture, and also role

Nigeria and the whole of the Islamic faith in Africa. What are the meanings of these words? 1. Islam 2. Dar al-sulh 3. Dar al-Islam 4. Dar al-kufr 5. Dar al-Harb 6. Hijra 7. Jibril 8. Sharia 9. Jihad 10. Muezin 11. Ulama 12. Umma 13. Sunna 14. Kafir al-Kufar 15. Moslem Islam in North and East Africa has been influenced by
African art and culture in different ways. To what extent has Islamic architecture,
traditions, art, weaving and sculpture influence African culture? Discuss with examples. Studying about Islam in Northern Nigeria reminds us the kind
of conflicts that exsist between Christians and Muslims in Sudan. Tracing the background of the Jihad and the religious, sociocultural
reforms in Northern Nigeria, discuss the role that Uthman dan Fodio played in
bringing transformation within African Islam. |
