  • Shuaibu Umar Gokaru

摘要

In this chapter, the findings presented in Chaps. 2 and 3 of this book are analysed to fulfil the established objectives. The chapter begins by examining the enduring impact of Ibn Khaldun’s scholarship, particularly his insights on the organisation of human society, within the context of Uthman bin Fodio’s efforts to reform Nigeria into a modernised society. Utilising Ibn Khaldun’s concept of Umran as a framework, the chapter further investigates its impact during both the evolutionary and revolutionary phases of Uthman bin Fodio’s transformation agenda. In doing so, the chapter explores the role of Umran in the interaction between Asabiyyah and religion, as integral to Uthman bin Fodio’s reform initiatives. Furthermore, the chapter traces the significance of Asabiyyah and religion in Uthman bin Fodio’s successful efforts to dismantle the Kingdom of Hausaland and to establish his Islamic administration, the Sokoto Caliphate. Additionally, to underscore the universal applicability of Ibn Khaldun’s theories on human society, the chapter elucidates their relevance to contemporary circumstances within the Nigerian Sultanate of Sokoto.
