Sheikh Manfaluti Speaks on the Modern Arabic School in Yorubaland – Declares Sheikh Adam Al-Ilory as the Founder 📖🕌 In this HISTORIC AND REVELATORY broadcast, Sheikh Manfaluti delivers a powerful and detailed lecture on the origins of the modern Arabic school system in Yorubaland, declaring unequivocally that Sheikh Adam Abdullah Al-Ilory (1917–1992) is the founder of modern Arabic education in the region. With evidence and conviction, he explains how Sheikh Adam revolutionised Islamic learning and set the standard that others later followed. --- The Case for Sheikh Adam as the Founder Sheikh Manfaluti presents the following evidence: · The Markaz Model: In 1952, Sheikh Adam founded the Arabic and Islamic Training Centre (Markaz) in Abeokuta, later relocating it to Agege, Lagos, in 1955. This was the first organised Arabic school in Yorubaland with distinct physical structures—classrooms, hostels, a mosque, and offices. · The Eight Criteria of Modern Learning: Sheikh Manfaluti outlines the 8 key elements that defined Sheikh Adam's modern system: 1. Classrooms – designated spaces for focused learning 2. Staffroom – a dedicated area for teachers 3. Principal – a formal administrative head 4. Restaurant – provision for students' feeding 5. Field – open space for recreation 6. Toilet – proper sanitary facilities 7. Blackboards – for visual teaching 8. Written exams and uniforms – structure and discipline · A Departure from Tradition: Before Sheikh Adam, Islamic education in Yorubaland was largely informal—students learned on wooden slates, sat on bare floors, and had no structured curriculum. Sheikh Adam changed all that. · Recognition by Al-Azhar: Sheikh Adam's work was recognised by Al-Azhar University, Cairo, and he was honoured by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 1989. --- A Challenge to the Critics Sheikh Manfaluti challenges those who dispute Sheikh Adam's pioneering role, asking them to present any Arabic school in Yorubaland that existed with the same modern structure before Markaz. He asserts that no such institution exists. --- #SheikhManfaluti #SheikhAdamAlIlory #ModernArabicSchool
