Abstract

Islamic scholarship in West Africa has a rich history, particularly in Morocco where scholars have contributed significantly to Islamic studies and arts over centuries. The study employs a qualitative approach to analyse primary sources such as scholarly works, archival documents, and oral traditions related to Islamic studies in Morocco. Theoretical frameworks for understanding Islamic scholarship in Morocco reveal significant thematic areas that have shaped intellectual discourse over centuries. Future research should consider integrating quantitative data to provide a more comprehensive analysis of scholarly activity in Moroccan Islamic studies.
