Darul Islam is an Islamic organisation in Nigeria, which maintains a compound outside the town of Mokwa, Niger State, where 3,000-4,000 adherents live. The group is headed by Amrul Bashir Abdullahi. The term Darul Islam refers to both the group and the community itself.
The compound was raided by Nigerian police in August 2009, during the 2009 Nigerian sectarian violence. No violence resulted during the raid, and 600 members were questioned by the police.
