ABSTRACT

This paper is hinged on the following propositions: that any inquiry into the problematic of Islam in contemporary Africa must engage, not only with how the past has shaped the present, but equally with how the latter would likely shape and, in turn, be -shaded by possibilities in the future; that contemporary challenges facing Islam in Africa nests, in the main, in the disconnect between Islam in the text and the fissures in the contexts of Muslim realities all over the world.
