THE IMPACT OF ISLAM ON AFRICAN CULTURE

THE IMPACT OF ISLAM ON AFRICAN CULTURE

From the earliest period of the world, man  or the human-race has always been heterogenized and symbolically sub-divided (a part from colour and language) by a series of empirical events which have incidentally led to, shapened  and  determined their varied uniqueness whilst interacting with both spiritual or abstract and temporal or physical events and features of worldly life, and thus, the emergence of culture as a glaring feature of different genres of human race was as inevitable as it was indispensable.

Thence, against the background of the foregoing, one can safely conclude that, the concept of culture can be captioned, “the totality of way of life and of which goes a long way to define and symbolize different genres of human race”.

The human race as a specie of the creatures of the Almighty, has been favoured enormously and most surpassingly with intellect not only to lead a most civilized, decorous and altruistic life while in this world, but also to earnestly scramble and grope and then establish a tenacious and a veritable connection with the invisible Hand behind all the physical and natural phenomena and events that surround its being.

But in sharp contrast and most sadly too, man has searched ceaselessly and in futility for complete serenity of mind or total fulfillment, what the Quran-Kereem, termed as “AYYATUL-TOIBA” and what  Karl-Marx (in his erroneous political philosophy) referred to as “the objective Reality).
