WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Syncretism was a different scenario for the Nubian people. The Nubians, over the years in which Islam exerted its beliefs, had merged their ancient belief system with the newer religion in many ways. This was possible because of Muslim theology condoning beliefs in angels, devils and mystical forces.

Detailed explanation-2: -African traditional religion is often regarded to have influenced African Islam and vice versa. Islam has been in Africa for so long and has become so acculturated to the African landscape that some scholars have argued that it is a traditional African religion.

Detailed explanation-3: -We have a number of notable examples of this in our world–the Rastafarians, Vodou, Candomble, Santeria, Gnosticism, the Unification Church, and various others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Native African religions are centered on ancestor worship, the belief in a spirit world, supernatural beings and free will (unlike the later developed concept of faith). Deceased humans (and animals or important objects) still exist in the spirit world and can influence or interact with the physical world.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chrislam is a portmanteau of Islam and Christianity as a fictional religion that was originally coined by G.K. Chesterton in The Flying Inn. It may also refer to: Chrislam, a fictional religion in Arthur C. Clarke’s 1993 novel The Hammer of God.
