Articles (Stewart 1986; Lewis 1974), books (Brelvi 1964; de Blij 1974; Trimingham 1980), and bibliographies (Ofari 1977; Zoghby 1978) devote little or no space to academic research or nonacademic writing on Islam in South Africa.
In 1985, four lecturers from the institutes of Arabic language (IAL) attached to KSU and Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud universities came to South Africa to conduct conversational Arabic programs lasting for approximately two months in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
In 1974, after al Farfiqfs visit to South Africa in 1972 (Mall 1981), the Department of Islamic Studies was established.
Arabic has been offered as one of the major languages in the Semitic departments of the University of South Africa (UNISA), U.
This attitude towards higher education and the subsequent lack of Muslim professionals who could, at least theoretically, earn enough money to support local Arabic and Islamic studies departments, must be dealt with successfully if there is to be any future for Arabic and Islamic studies and research among South African Muslims.
And since many Muslim students have been active participants in the protests and boycotts of recent years, Pretoria has initiated its own Islamic research agenda with a few unknown academic departments.
Conclusion In South Africa, Arabic and Islamic studies research is a relatively new phenomenon.
