The Sokoto Caliphate was the largest and most territorially extensive state in Africa. It was founded by Usman dan Fodio and his companions through Jihad in the early of 1800s. Islam was the basis of governance of the Caliphate. Ethical values, social justice and welfare were the principles of its creation. These principles were stated in the writings of the Jihad leaders. Most scholars agree that its establishment led to rapid economic and commercial development and the society had a high standard of security. Islam as understood by Usman dan Fodio has ever remained a message for the oppressed against the oppressor. The political and social philosophy of the Caliphate was based on Shari’a. However, abandonment of the original ideals by the successors of the founders, corruption and injustices provided the factors of collapse of the Caliphate. This paper seeks to examine the principles of the social security system in the Sokoto Caliphate as reflected in the writings of Usman dan Fodio, his brother Abdullahi and his son Muhammadu Bello.
