Abstract

Background:  The Salafiyyah movement has emerged as a significant Islamic reform orientation in South-Western Nigeria, influencing religious thought, education, and inter-group relations. Despite its visibility, scholarly analysis of its historical development, internal dynamics, and societal impact remains limited. Objective: This study investigates the emergence, teachings, activities, contributions, and challenges of the Salafiyyah movement in the region. Method: A qualitative case study design was adopted, integrating library research and fieldwork. Data were collected through oral interviews, questionnaires, and review of published and unpublished materials, drawing on both primary and secondary sources. A multidisciplinary analytical framework combining historical, phenomenological, and sociological approaches was employed. Result: The findings indicate that Salafiyyah has contributed substantially to Islamic scholarship, Qur’anic memorization, the establishment of madāris and mosques, educational development, and structured da‘wah activities. However, the movement also faces factional divisions and sustained debates with other Islamic groups over doctrinal and organizational issues. Conclusion: Salafiyyah remains a dynamic and influential reform movement in South-Western Nigeria. Contribution: This research contributes to existing literature by providing a systematic, context-based analysis of Salafiyyah’s contemporary significance within a pluralistic Muslim society
