Answer:

<u>Salafism </u>

Relatively recently, Salafism has begun spreading in Africa, as a result of many Muslim Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) such as the World Muslim League, the World Assembly for Muslim Youth, and the Federation of Mab and Islamic Schools primarily funded by Salafi governments in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. These Salafist organizations, often based out of Saudi Arabia, promote a form of conservative reformism and regard Sufism as "heterodox" and contrary to their interpretation of traditional Islam. Such NGOs have built Salafi-dominated mosques and Islamic centers in Africa, and many are staffed by puritanical African Muslims, often trained in the Middle East. Academic scholarships to study in Islamic universities in the Middle East are also offered to further Salafism.

<u>Sects</u>  

The Abuja National Mosque in Abuja, Nigeria

Muslims in Africa mostly adhere to either the non-denominational Muslim stance or Sunnism, although there are also a significant number of Quranists, Shias and Ibadi adherents. In addition, Sufism, the mystical dimension of Islam, has a presence. The Maliki madh'hab is the dominant school of jurisprudence amongst most of the continent's Sunni communities, while the Shafi'i madh'hab is prevalent in the Horn of Africa, eastern Egypt, and the Swahili Coast. The Hanafi fiqh is also followed in western Egypt.

<u>Shari'ah </u>

The 13th-century Larabanga Mosque of Ghana, one of the oldest surviving mosques in West Africa

The Sharīʿah (Arabic: شَـرِيـعَـة‎) of Islam broadly influences the legal code in most Islamic countries, but the extent of its impact varies widely. In Africa, most states limit the use of Sharia to "personal-status law" for issues such as marriage, divorce, inheritance and child custody. With the exception of northern Nigeria in West Africa, secularism does not seem to face any serious threat in Africa, even though the new Islamic revival is having a great impact upon segments of Muslim populations. Cohabitation or coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims remains, for the most part, peaceful.

Nigeria is home to Africa's largest Muslim population. In 1999, Nigeria's northern states adopted the Sharia penal code, but punishments have been rare. In fact, dozens of women convicted of adultery and sentenced to stoning to death have later been freed. Egypt, one of the largest Muslim states in Africa, claims Sharia as the main source of its legislation, yet its penal and civil codes are based largely on French law.

Islam gained momentum during the 10th century in the West Africa with the start of the Almoravid dynasty movement on the Senegal River and as rulers and kings embraced Islam. It spread slowly in much of the continent through trade and preaching.

In which ways can each unique place on Earth be characterized?
hoa [83]
By the place and region. Place names itself give an area a really unique feature. The name of the place often gives some historical background, like perhaps the founder, or the name may give clues on the features of the area. Another unique characterization are the different types of region. There are three main types of regions including formal region, functional region, and vernacular region. Formal regions are areas where everyone shares common distinctive characteristics. Functional regions are areas that can be used to display information about economic areas. Lastly, vernacular regions are regions that people believe exist as part of their cultural identity.
