Part I is devoted to the impact of Islam in the Northern States of Nigeria, Part H deals with the more recent spread of Islam into the Southern Nigerian States and Part III explicates a wide variety of issues germane to the understanding of Islam at the national level.
The impact of colonialism and Christianity upon Islam in Northern Nigeria is analyzed by Dr. Doi.
In Part H, Professor Doi provides details of the influence of the Hausa Muslims on the Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria, the syncretism which resulted from the interaction of the traditional Yoruba religion and Islam, and the changes in the life cycle of the Yoruba due to Islam.
As Islam impacted upon the indigenous Nigerian religions, many syncretistic patterns were established, and elements of magic, witchcraft, sorcery, and divination can still be found in many of the Muslim communities in Nigeria.
