Abdulganiyi Musa, Ibrahim Zekeriyah, Lawal Rahman, Mohammed Y. Danladi

Abstract


Drama and theatre are naturally parts of human life right from the time of creation. They both have their origins in the cultural settings of the past and the vicissitude of the present. The Drama and theatre has been used in several ways to pass messages to individuals and group of people. But we can still see many Muslim scholars and preachers in Nigeria who are against theatre and drama, therefore not allowing Muslim students to go for the course. This category of the Muslims are anti-theatrics. The intention of this paper is therefore to draw attention of the Muslims to the usefulness of Drama and Theatre in propagating Islam. Descriptive method of research is used and the research shows that there are many Quranic stories that can be taught through Pupiltic theatre and drama if it is explored by the Muslims. The researcher draw the attention of the Dua’at (propagators) of Islam to explore the potential of Pupiltic theatre and Drama in the teachings of the Quranic verses to the Muslim faithful and other members of the society.
