Makale Özeti:

Like many other Yoruba towns in the south-western Nigeria, Ila-Orangun which
is popularly referred to as the principal town of Igbominaland witnessed the
coming of Islam during a period when paganism had eaten deep into the
fabric of every sphere of life of the people. The uniqueness of Islam in the
town is that it has not been able to bring to an end the traditional belief
system of the people ever since its inception. This is probably because of the
status of the town as one of the towns founded by one of the sons of Oduduwa
from the great ancestral land, Ile-Ife. This paper therefore takes a look at the
inception of Islam in this ancient town to determine the extent of influence
of traditional belief system on the practice of Islam in it and the methods
adopted by the early Muslim clerics to penetrate the town with a view to
breaking the genes of darkness in the town. Attempts are also made to discuss
some latest developments on Islam in town, namely Imamship tussle and
other challenges facing the Muslim community there. The paper concludes by
identifying some steps necessary to be taken by the Muslim community in the
town for them to be able to place the religion on a better pedestal.
