      abstract = {This study was aimed at giving the historical account of the conversion activities of Kwamitin Yada Addinin Musulunci in Kontagora Emirate and its impact on the people of the area. Two methods of research were used. Firstly, field trips in order to conduct interviews so as to obtain data in respect of the history, success, methodology of the Committee as well as validate data obtained from the other sources. Secondly, the researcher also arranged to go with the Committee?s Ulama in their preaching tours for fact- finding tasks in order to validate data obtained using the other means of data collection. Among the findings of the work  include; the Committee makes use of conventional methods of preaching in reaching the non-Muslims with little or no material gift to the new converts; the Committee  has nothing to do with politicking or vote hunting; it was purposely established for the spread of Islam in the area;  the Committee was able to convert over forty five thousand non-Muslims to Islam and also impacted greatly in improving their social and educational life. Considering the enormous impact of the committee, it was recommended that; the Committee should seek for other sources of revenue in addition to charity, the work of teaching and preaching should be separated and the committee should adopt other methos of conversions through the use of modern devices like the use of Radio and television stations, the provision of health and educational facilities, portable water etc. This is because; modern man today is materially inclined.},
