Title: The historical development and challenges of Islam in Ila-Orangun, Nigeria
Description:
<p>Like many other Yoruba towns in the south-western Nigeria, Ila-Orangun which<br />is popularly referred to as the principal town of Igbominaland witnessed the<br />coming of Islam during a period when paganism had eaten deep into the<br />fabric of every sphere of life of the people.
The uniqueness of Islam in the<br />town is that it has not been able to bring to an end the traditional belief<br />system of the people ever since its inception.
This is probably because of the<br />status of the town as one of the towns founded by one of the sons of Oduduwa<br />from the great ancestral land, Ile-Ife.

The paper concludes by<br />identifying some steps necessary to be taken by the Muslim community in the<br />town for them to be able to place the religion on a better pedestal.
