Abstract

When Ibn Batouta, the Arab-Muslim traveler, in the 14th century, visited the sub-Saharan regions of Africa, he could not stop admiring the quality of the religious schools of these countries and the motivation of the African peoples towards learning Islamic sciences. From the days of the traditional Marabouts to the modern era and the launch of Koranic tele-education projects among Muslim communities in Africa, the inhabitants of this continent have shown a growing thirst for theological studies. The philosophical origins and the mental characteristics of this quest for African religiosity create a meticulous singularity in the denominational behavior of these communities. The question of E-Learning and distance education through computer platforms, in the African continent especially in the sub-Saharan region, require, in turn, certain particularities which are sometimes neglected by Iranian structures active in this field. . This article intends to approach the same particularities through a pathological vision in order to offer a more realistic and concrete profile of the potentialities of cyber-training in Islamic sciences in sub-Saharan Africa.
