SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Darus-Salam is a religious group with members who adopted camping as way of life. The group was founded in 1993 in Niger State of Nigeria by one Mallam Bashir Abdullah. The group had its camp in Mokwa in Niger State. This research studied the teachings and activities of the group with a view to determining the extent of their compliance or otherwise to the teachings of Islam as contained in the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW). The research adopted historical methodology through the use of descriptive survey. The research tools used included un-structural interviews. In addition, books, encyclopedias, journals, and Qur'anic commentaries were also consulted. The findings show that though the group was not violent, some of its teachings and activities are at variance with the orthodox teachings of Islam. The study also reveals that Darus-Salam as a religious group had impacted negatively on the Niger State Muslims 'Ummah (community). The research therefore concluded that the group was heretic in its teachings and that the action of the State Government in disbanding it was appropriate in other to forestall any eventuality.
