Two hundred years ago Fulfulde (after Arabic) was the language most closely associated with Islamic scholarship in West Africa; Hausa was one of the languages of the 'unbelievers'. Today Hausa is a respected language of Islam. The Hausa Koran is published alongside the Arabic original, the Fulfulde Koran is translated from the French.
