%X The religion of Islam aims at reforming the behaviour of every Muslim indi-vidual so as to provide a sanitized society. The Prophet (S.A.W) as the final messenger confirmed that he was sent to accomplish the best of morality to humanity through the Qur¡¯anic revelation. After him come many righteous people in the name of revivalists/reformers who revive the spirit of Islam and ensure the moral rehabilitation of the society. Such revivalists appeared in dif-ferent parts of the Muslim world from the earliest centuries to date. In the 19th Century, a part of Africa Continent known as Hausaland witnessed the revivalist activities of Shaykh Uthman Ibn Fodiyo who wrote many treatises in a bid to reform the society. Among these treatises are Nur al-Bab. And in the 20th Century there appeared a righteous person in one part of Europe, Turkey in particular, known as Badiuzzaman Said Nursi who among numerous of his publications wrote ¡°The Damascus Sermon¡± also in a bid to reform the society. This paper intends to make a careful assessment of the efforts made by these two revivalists on the morality of their respective societies based on faith and knowledge. The two treatises under study appear to be closely related in the te-achings of morality. This is why they are selected for a review to bring out ideas of these great men in relation to their moral teachings. The researchers would adopt critical analytical methods to meet the goals of the research
