Q1.      Did you like/dislike; agree/disagree with the issues or ideas presented?
Why or how?
The purpose of this article is to introduce numerous methods of effective teaching of Islamic
studies. The emphasis of this essay is on the introduction of Islamic education instruction. I
fully agree with this concept because it is really important to integrate Islamic science into
student education, as students of the present day are scarcely focused on and leaving
religious teachings. So if you add Islamic education to your curriculum and have correct
understanding of Islam, you will at least have fundamental knowledge of your faith.
Q2.      Did you learn anything from this article? Did it change your mind, or
confirm what you already knew?
Yeah, as a potential teacher I have learned how to successfully use Islamic education
techniques, processes and tactics, which will be very useful in the future. In reading this
post, I have changed my mind about various teaching techniques and how to use them
effectively, because many African students study Islamic education according to this article,
but do not know the definition or have no simple definitions, because this depends on the
way a teacher teaches and how much the student gets.
Q3. Is this something you would implement when you are a classroom
teacher? Why? Why not?
As mentioned in the report, teachers are not well informed of teaching techniques,
approaches and do not get teaching assistance or tools that teachers rely on the memory of
lessons learned, which contribute to African students memorizing the Quran without
understanding definitions or meanings. I want to carry out various exercises in the
classroom and use various techniques as a potential teacher to successfully educate
students. For example, you can connect Islamic education to everyday life, so that according
to Islamic teachings, they also spend their lives. Further, it is highly important to
communicate with students to explain their definitions.
Q4.      How does the information in the article relate to the course we are
studying?
This article is entirely connected to the topic we research, which is Islamiyat teaching, and
the impact of Islamic education in Africa is discussed in this article. This article addresses
which challenges they have encountered with the introduction of Islamic education and how
we can solve them. It is also addressed how Islamic education has strengthened its
application. Basically, this article covers any part of Islamiyat's instruction. By following this
post, we understand what is happening to students and what is happening to Islamiyat. The
significance, challenges, productive methods and surveys of Islamiyat's teaching are given.
This is really useful because it gives your insight into how group learning experiences are the
most successful way to teach Islamic education.
Q5 Write the summary of the article.

Nehemiah said that the mission to achieve the spread of Islamic knowledge was difficult for
individual who did not possess a strong believe in God. Islam remains as the most influential
religion and Muslims throughout West Africa are ready to defend it in at any time. Among
those admirable heroes of West Africa scholars are Imamu Samurai Toure, Sheik Syringe
Bamba, Said or Tall and Othman DanFodio. The level of Islamic consciousness and
commitment in the minds and practices of the people of West Africa is very high. The
Africans only started to record their historical tradition in the advance of crucial time, while
their Europeans and Arabs counterparts began to record it in earlier time. Early African
rarely writes down their historical traditions for they relied more on oral citation to pass
down their history. During the colonial era, many Muslims parents forbid their children to
receive the western education. They did so believing that the west education system is bad
and consequently it can spoil their children's behavior. The study will explore the primary
sources of the early Islamic history in West Africa, where those accounts were provided by
classical Arab writers, such as Al-Idris. The objective of pedagogy is to provide knowledge
and experiences in the light of learning. According to Khan (1987), the concept of Islamic
education does not involve knowledge only but also actions that are considered necessary
for Iman (faith)

Teachers in West Africa have different styles of approach to the students. Deductive
approach starts with one or more principles and formulas, principles, laws, theorems or rule
be applied to the specific. Some teachers focus solely on completing the syllabus, without
considering the situation of the students or responding to their needs. Classes are taught in
action-oriented way to strengthen sensible dealing with tasks and problems in active
learning. Teaching in West Africa involves the use of syllabus, work/ lesson plan and
thorough subject preparation. Most of the teachers in West. Africa are keening to
encourage the students to memorize the lesson that had been taught. Many young African
learners have memorized the Qur'an without knowing the meaning. According to Jaime
Lloret et al (2009), there are many techniques that can be used for in-class exercises such as
active learning and collaborative learning. E-learning is based not only on the technological
tools but also on the complex environment in which the process of teaching and learning
occurs. Ibn Battuta was a great Islamic scholar and remarkable person in the earliest Muslim
scholars who traveled extensively in many places including Asia and Africa. While he was in
Africa he stayed among the indigenous people in the kingdom of Mali for about eight
months. This account of history highlighted the higher sense of justice, learning education
and governance in the Kingdom of Mali Empire. Strategy is a form of well–organized plan
created to achieve a set of objectives or aims. Method means the procedure (with reference
to practical or formal details) Method could also imply the degree of expertness and also
could indicate to any method or manner of accomplishing something. According to Jaime
Lloret et al (2009), there are many techniques that can be used for in-class exercises such as
active widespread learning and collaborative learning. One of the techniques is the usage of
ICT in the teaching so that the material taught becomes more understandable.

Technology such as eLearning can help to achieve this goal. Many documents about West
Africa region, including since the Arab historian named the region as Bilal al-Sudan, the land
of the Blacks. E-learning is based not only on the technological tools but also on a complex
environment in which the process of teaching and learning occurs. Ibn Battuta was a great
Islamic scholar and remarkable person in the earliest Muslim scholars who traveled
extensively in many places including Asia and Africa. While he was in Africa he stayed among
the indigenous people in the kingdom of Mali for about eight months, during this period he
wrote what he witnessed. Ibn Khaldun obtained independent information relating to the
history of Mali from a fiqh of the people of Ghana, whom he met in Cairo in and from
people who have visited Mali.19th century Islamic militancy had its routes from the rural
areas rather than the cosmopolitan urban ones. Levitzion claimed that the outbreak of these
militant movements put an end to the era of peaceful process of Islamization. Ibn Battuta
was a great Islamic scholar and remarkable person in the earliest Muslim scholars who
traveled extensively in many places including Asia and Africa. Apart from these scholars,
there were some African and European scholars who have contributed in recording the
history of south Saharan African region.

Ghana and Mali Empires in the year. In his book the development of Islam in Africa Hogben
