Abstract
This 41-page manuscript titled, Islamic History in Yoruba Anjemi, talks about the history of Islam, especially the life history of Prophet Muḥammad, Peace be upon him. On the cover page, which is mostly written in Yoruba Anjemi, there is a Qur’anic verse which roughly translates: "Verily, these stories are the truth of the histories..." Although titled a history book, this work also includes parts on Fiqh – Islamic Jurisprudence, and Tawḥīd -- unification or oneness of God. The author used the standard Mashriqi style of writing, and numbered the pages in Arabic numerals. Unlike most Yoruba Anjemi translated works, the author begins with an introduction in Yoruba Anjemi, instead of Arabic.
