ANSAR-UD-DEEN SOCIETY OF NIGERIA
Description
Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria is an organization of the Muslim Intellectuals organized to advance religious education and sensitize Muslim communities on the significance of Western education, which the earliest Muslim populous rejected on condition of its intimate contact with Christian evangelism. This set Christian people to have the upper hand in educational excellence ahead of the Muslim citizens. The organization started with a sensitization campaign but metamorphosed into the reformist movement of the Islamic religion, which established branches in most of Nigeria's Muslim communities. The movement established educational institutions, published books, established healthcare centers, and constructed mosques for religious awareness and worship, which consequently advanced educational awareness among the Muslim citizens of Nigeria.
