Abstract

Tasawwuf (Sufism) is a mystical Islamic tradition that emphasizes soul purification, sincere devotion to Allah, and fostering harmonious relationships across ideological divides. This study investigates the nature and challenges of online interactions between Sufi and non-Sufi Muslims in Nigeria. Utilizing a descriptive research design, data were collected through a Google Form questionnaire and analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. A multistage sampling approach ensured the inclusion of respondents from diverse Sufi and non-Sufi groups. The findings reveal that while interactions between Sufi and non-Sufi Muslims are frequent, particularly on platforms like Facebook, they are often marked by contentious exchanges. Provocative statements directed at Sufi Muslims occasionally lead to tensions, although most Sufi respondents prefer to avoid confrontation by ignoring such provocations. However, concerns were raised regarding the online behavior of some Sufi youth, which appears to deviate from traditional Sufi teachings as they engage in arguments to defend Sufism. This study underscores the importance of enhanced spiritual guidance for Sufi adherents to align their online activities with the principles of Tasawwuf. Promoting respectful digital discourse and fostering mutual understanding are essential strategies to mitigate tensions and strengthen harmony within the broader Muslim community.

Abstract

This paper explores the renaissance and development of Islam in North Africa, focusing on historical accounts and religious narratives that predate the arrival of Islam through ‘Amr bin ‘Ᾱṣ under the caliphate of ‘Umar. This study is driven by the need for a deeper understanding of how Islam in North Africa underwent historical transformations, from its early introduction to the detailed development of Islamic laws and traditions. Some historians argue that Islam was introduced earlier through migration to Abyssinia, although it was not adopted as a way of life. Other perspectives, such as Nmah (2018), highlight the role of interactions between Muslims and Christians along the Nile River as the starting point for Islamization and Arabization in the region. The paper also examines the presence of Prophet Yusuf in Egypt and the mission of Prophet Musa to the Israelites, as described in the Qur’an. These narratives indicate that Islam has been known in Egypt since ancient times, though Islamic law was not fully detailed. This study identifies four key periods in the history of Islam in North Africa: the migration to Abyssinia, the period of Prophet Yusuf, the period of Prophet Musa, and the Muslim conquest of Egypt by ‘Amr bin ‘Ᾱṣ. The study concludes that Islam's message has remained consistent since the beginning of humanity, with only the details of Shariah evolving. Future research should focus on the post-conquest period of ‘Amr bin ‘Ᾱṣ, particularly the dynamics of Islamization and Arabization and their impact on local culture and society in North Africa.
