Abstract

The exploration of electronic media, among other things, as a veritable tool through which the pristine messages of Islam are conveyed has not gone unrecognisedby contemporary scholars in Nigeria. However, the manner and style adopted by advocates on propagating slam differ and with this difference, the result of the act also differs This work comparatively studied two radio dacwah programmes in Ilorin; Madrasatud-dalīlish-shariciy and Manhajahlus Sunnahwaljamaca, with a view to identifying the impact of each of the two programmes on the masses. Giving the structural survey of selected episodes, the study is descriptive, and comparative in focus; therefore, the researchers adopted a combination of descriptive the comparative research methods. Findings of the work revealed that Manhajahlus Sunnahwaljamaca is largely satirical while Manhajdalilish-Sharica is academic. It is,however, recommended that the focus and locus of any dacwah activity should principally be both mild and academic. This, as a matter of fact, could be actualized by creating an institution that regulates dacwah conducts in every society.
