Hausa LEADERSHIP visit to Hubbaren Degel by the father of Shehu Usman Danfodiyo
LEADERSHIP Hausa visited Degel village in the Chimmola District of the Gwadabawa Local Government of Sokoto State at the end of the previous week.
The settlement of Degel, which has a long history and is well-known to historians and academics in West Africa, is located about 60 kilometres to the north-east of the city of Sokoto.
Shehu Usman Danfodiyo was born in Degel, which is famous for being the place where he spent most of his life in pursuit of knowledge, teaching various sciences alongside his younger brother Mallam Abdullahi Gwandu, son Amiril Muminin, Muhammadu Bello, and other gifted followers who assisted him in disseminating Islamic knowledge, encouraging people to improve it, and laying the foundation for the jihad he led to found the Islamic State, from 1774 to 180
In addition, during our conversation with an elder in charge of Hubbaren Degel, Baba Ahmadu Mai Hubbare, he stated that the town is still deserted (deserted), explaining that it is full of graves of many servants of God, including those of Shehu Muhammadu Fodiyo (the father of Shehu Usmanu Danfodiyo), Shehu Usmanu's wife and mother of Nana Asma'u, Sayyida Mun
Additionally, Baba Ahmadu accompanied me as we moved around the house, pointing out the various traditional locations. For example, he showed me the location of Shehu Mujaddadi's house and a sign that read, "This is where Shehu Mujaddadi lives and this is like the centre where he teaches different sciences," referring to what historians refer to as Shehu Usmanu Mujaddadi University.
There are goriba trees, mainoni (long boy or darbejiya), and adua in this area, along with other native trees, which simply serves as a sign that people have lived there by coincidence or other means. Additionally, the passage of time has turned some graves into nothing more than signs, while others have been ringed with stones.
The owners of Hubbaren, however, claimed that there are residences belonging to other people who were close to Shehu Usmanu Mujaddadi. These residences are located on the east side and include those of Mallam Muhammad Kwairanga, Mallam Ummaru Dumama, Mallam Muha (a Mallami from the Azbin country), Shehu Abdullahi Gwandu, and Shehu Musdafa.
In the south of the Shehu's home is the home of Mallam Ummaru Alkammu, a close friend of the Shehu. Next is the home of Mallam Kawmanga, the son of the Shehu's sister. Finally, Mallam Sulaiman Wodi, the Shehu's representative to the King of Gobir, is located on the west side of the Shehu's home.
These honourable servants of God are those who have given their lives, their time, and everything they possess to aid Shehu Mujaddadi in defending the neighbourhood from ignorance and the development of traditions that are contrary to Islamic teachings. Corrupt teachers have referred to Islam as a way of life.
In addition, they encountered a variety of dangers and difficulties in preserving Islam on this continent.
Experts have provided in-depth information about the positive changes brought about by Shehu Mujaddadi's jihad, which was based in the Hausa nation of Sokoto. They have cited this conflict as the one that gave West Africa value and prestige among other continents, and freedom was what enabled the Masina and Tukolor countries to achieve independence and build empires on their side.
Similar to this, Mujaddadi Shehu Usmanu's jihad laid a basis for life change, community management and governance, and planning for economic development on this continent and in other African nations.
The shift that gave rise to the Sokoto-based Islamic State advanced Islamic knowledge among the populace and started a new era in educational advancement.
There is little doubt that Shehu Mujaddadi's action, supported by his followers and the rest of the Muslim community, has contributed to the restoration of Nigeria's and West Africa's overall dignity.
There is nothing more crucial than education for bringing about meaningful change in the development of the community and for significantly contributing to the continued existence of the Islamic religion, so the revival and development of the sector is another significant thing that the jihad has brought.
Shehu Mujaddadi, his brother Mallam Abdullahi Gwandu, his son Muhammadu Bello, and his other disciples have worked hard to publish hundreds of books in various fields of knowledge in order for the global community to continue to benefit from the work they have done to serve the religion of Islam. This is in addition to raising awareness of the community towards the teachings of the true religion of Islam.
