Uenezi wa Uislamu
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Afrika ilikuwa bara la kwanza nje ya Uarabuni ambapo Uislamu lilianza kuenea mapema katika karne ya 7. Karibia theluthi moja ya idadi ya Waislamu wote duniani wanaishi katika bara hili.
Waislamu walipita Jibuti na Eritrea kuomba hifadhi ya makazi katika Ethiopia ya leo wakati wa Kuhamia Uhabeshi.[1]
Waislamu walio wengi barani Afrika ni wa dhehebu la Sunni; utatanishi wa Uislamu barani Afrika umeonekana katika shule mbalimbali za fikira, mapokeo, na sauti kutoka katika nchi nyingi za Afrika. Uislamu wa Afrika sio tuli kabisa na umekuwa ukibadilika kulingana na jamii ulionea - hasa kutokana na uchumi na hali za siasa.
Ilipata kukadiriwa mnamo mwaka wa 2002 ya kwamba taasisi za Kiislamu zimefikia asilimia 45 ya wakazi wote wa Afrika.[2]

Kwa mujibu wa kamusi elezo ya Encyclopædia Britannica, ilipofika katikati ya mwaka wa 2002, kulikuwa na Wakristo wapatao 376,453,000, na Waislamu 329,869,000 na watu wengine 98,734,000 ambao wanafuata dini za jadi za Afrika. Ian S. Markham,(A World Religions Reader. Cambridge, MA: Blackwell Publishers, 1996.) is cited by Morehouse University as giving the mid-1990s figure of 278,250,800 Muslims in Africa, but still as 40.8% of the total population. These numbers are estimates, and remain a matter of conjecture. See Amadu Jacky Kaba. The spread of Christianity and Islam in Africa: a survey and analysis of the numbers and percentages of Christians, Muslims and those who practice indigenous religions. The Western Journal of Black Studies, Vol 29, Number 2, June 2005. Discusses the estimations of various almanacs and encyclopedium, placing Britannica's estimate as the most agreed figure.
