Islamic Scholarship in West Africa: A Moroccan Perspective,

Islamic scholarship in Morocco has a long history that extends into West Africa, reflecting cultural exchanges across the region. A qualitative analysis of archival documents, interviews with scholars, and observations at academic institutions was conducted. Islamic literature courses were introduced into local primary schools, indicating an expansion of Islamic scholarly education in the region. The integration of Islamic studies into primary school curricula demonstrates a significant shift towards inclusivity and cultural preservation. Further research should focus on assessing the long-term impact of these educational initiatives on students' engagement with Islamic scholarship.
