Is the Application of Islamic Law in Zamfara State a Success or a Failure? .This work analyzes the history of the application of Islamic law (Shari`ah) in Nigeria. It analyzes how Islamic law emerged in Nigeria toward the beginning of the 19th century and remained applicable until the arrival of the British Colonial regime in Northern Nigeria in 1903. It sheds light on how the law survived colonial rule and continues until today. Dr. Yushau Sodiq analyzes progressive elements in Islamic law over the past two centuries. He goes on to discuss many objections raised by the Nigerian Christians against the application of Islamic law, as well as how Muslims respond to such criticism. In a world that is often saturated with Islamophobia and ignorant misconceptions about Islam, this book aims to clarify and respond to many important concepts and ideas within Islamic religious tradition. .IslamAfricaHistoryLawHistoryLawPhilosophyImperialismBlack theologyIslamAfrican HistoryLegal HistoryTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal HistoryImperialism and ColonialismBlack TheologyIslam.AfricaHistory.LawHistory.LawPhilosophy.Imperialism.Black theology.Islam.African History.Legal History.Theories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History.Imperialism and Colonialism.Black Theology.297Sodiq Yushauauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut941758BOOK9910163117003321A History of the Application of Islamic Law in Nigeria2124652UNINA
