As ideologue and activist Don Fodio tried to bring the traditional indigenous pagan Hausa (parts of modern day Nigeria) communities from Dar Ul Harb (ungoverned land or land of unbelievers) to Dar Ul Islam. In the process Don Fodio, gave up the Jihad al-qwal (preaching of the tongue) and adopted Jihad bi al-sayf (conversion by the sword).
Don Fodio enforced the hijab or hudud (lashing, amputation, stoning and death prescribed in Islamic law for various crimes such as adultery, theft, drinking of alcohol, etc), strict adherence to the observance of Islamic commercial, laws and a stop to the practice of DRUMMING, SINGING and DANCING (upper case is mine), adjudged as satanic innovation, bid’a shaytaniyya…..

Chand Kazi angrily came to Shrivas Pandit’s house one evening, and witnessed a joyful kirtana (singing) going on, he broke the mridanga (drum) and spoke as follows: “For so long you all did not follow the regulative principles of the Hindu religion, but now you are following them with great enthusiasm. May I know by whose strength you are doing so?”
It appears that from the time of Baktiyar Khiliji in Bengal until the time of Chand Kazi, Hindus, or the followers of the Vedic principles, were greatly suppressed. Practically no one could execute their Hindu religious principles freely. Chand Kazi was referring to this state of Hindu society. Formerly the Hindus were not publicly executing their Hindu principles, but now they were freely chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra. Therefore it must have been by the strength of someone else that they were so daring. Actually, that was the fact. Although the members of the so-called Hindu society had followed the social customs and rituals, they had practically forgotten to execute their religious principles strictly. But with the presence of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu they actually began following the regulative principles according to his order. Chand Kazi continued: “No one should perform sankirtana on the streets of the city. Today I am excusing the offense and returning home. The next time I see someone performing such sankirtana, certainly I shall chastise him by not only confiscating all his property but also converting him into a Muslim.”
