Islam became very popular in Africa in just a short amount of time and has now become one of the most important religions on the continent. With the large number of African countries and an even larger number of cultural diversification on the continent; the religion of Islam has been incorporated into many cultures of the nations who reverted to Islam on a mass scale. A large proportion of the pillars of Islam, the basic tenants of the religion, beliefs and principles of the religion remained the same; cultural adaptations had some small changes on the practices of the religion across different nations of old.

Islam mean peace

African Muslims in Africa are the Black people who have reverted to Islam or were born into it and are now living their life according to the example of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as laid down in the Quran. The translation of the world “Islam” is peace but over time many of the Muslims in Africa have taken part in War Fisabillah. Allah Subhana Wa’Taa’ala has mentioned in the Quran that it is just to fight under certain circumstances such as in self defense or in situations that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) found himself in. In modern times many African Muslim countries have engaged in War, some righteous and some not righteous with the only effect being the death of our fellow brothers and sisters, unfortunately this is the fate of some African Muslims in African Countries.
