Abstract

The Jihad of Uthman Dan Fodio had been interpreted in different ways by scholars and researchers. In many literatures, views of many authors differ hence the Jihad had been a subject of debates even after two centuries of its occurrence. The argument is equally peculiar among the Muslim scholars. It is this seemingly unending topical issue that prompts the relevance of the paper. The argument is that the Jihad of Uthman Dan Fodio is inherently carried out to purify the essence of Islam. The methodology is thematic and analytical applying historical interpretation of extant literature.
