Abstract
Today, the muslims society is witnessing a deterition
in Islamic teachings on morality and other injunctions
Drought by the holy prophet (S.A.W). It has been observed in
the previous years that it was because of lack of Islamic
knowledge that all these immoralities are increasing in the
society now that more than the number expected have acquired
the basic Islamic knowledge out still the immoralities are
there.
It is because of this, that, the idea of Islamic
theological centre came into being. It is the aim of this
thesis to design an Islamic theological centre which will be
a medium to provide an architectural environment suitable
both in form and content for the preservation of the muslim
personality and dignity. It is hoped it will serve as a
spiritual centre where all corrupted minds will be
spiritualised Islamically.
Architecturally, on examination of Islamic
architecture around the world will be made to see whether it
is a history of form and style or it is a product of
cultural and environmental factors, and an expressions of
the way of life of the people it serves. Finally the center
will be designed in the regional context of Hausa-land and
architecture through the assimilation of Islamic
architectural principles with Hausa architectural concepts
and forms
