This research aims at discussing the emergence of Islam in North Africa, specifically elaborating on the factors responsible for the spread of Islam in the continent. A historical overview on the intellectual and social changes that Islam brought into the Continent were discussed. The Study reveals that North Africa is inhabited by 171.4 million people representing approximately 2.4 percent of the world’s population and about 10.5 percent of the population of the 53-member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Currently, five countries make up the North African region; namely Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. The Study adopts descriptive and historical methods where the emergence, spread and the position of Islam in North Africa will be showcased, described and conveyed in a simple, clear manner. The Study concludes that with the advent of Islam in North Africa, good characters and sound behaviours were instilled in the area, people became more united, focused and supportive. In addition, more Islamic cities were established in North Africa, such as the city of Kairouan, which became the security base for Muslims. Additionally, Islamic empires were also founded such as Almoravids, the Almohads and the Hafsids. Similarly, a number of Mosques were built in the region which were largely regarded as centers of knowledge, such as the Al-Atiq Mosque in Fustat and the Al-Azhar Mosque both in Egypt, among others. |
