There are many dynamic similarities between the accomplishments of these two enigmatic Yoruba world renowned scholars. But at the same time, while Sheikh Adam is highly praised and distinguished among scholars of Arabic and Islamic studies, professor Wole Soyinka is distinguished and highly praised in Western English literature.
Al-Azhar awarded Sheikh Adam with one of its best scholartic award in Arabic language and its sciences in 1989.
Nobel Prize was awarded to Professor Soyinka in 1986 to distinguish his exemplary achievement in English literature.
The didactic nature of the achievements of these men among scholars perhaps may serve students of knowledge as well as the scholars in explicating the need for better collaboration between scholars of these two annals (Islamic and Western) of knowledge.
