Abstract

The Paper aims at going through the works of the Jihad scholars that concentrate on the security system and peaceful co-existence among the Muslim Ummah with a view to bring about sanity and social order in out contemporary time. The jihad leaders wrote many books on politics and good governance and if our present leaders are to study and put these write ups into practice fruitful results will be achieved, and peace would be maintained in our society. In the paper I have selected some books written by the leader of Jihad, Sheikh Usman Bn Fodiyo, his brother Sheikh Abdullahi Fodiyo and his son Muhammad Bello.
