Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria is a Muslims organization established for the purpose of the educational development of Muslims and also as a body to enhance the moral and social development of the Muslim community in Lagos.Stefan Reichmuth. 'New Trends in Islamic Education in Nigeria: A Preliminary Account', Die Welt des Islams, New Ser., Bd. 29, Nr. 1/4, 1989. p 42. It was founded in 1923 as a non-sectarian and non-political educational association, although there are doubts about its non-political stance.Reichmuth, Education and Growth p 374.

The society started out as a response to the advent of a class of Western trained Christian elites in the colonial capital of Lagos and also to engage in the promotion of reformist ideas and development in the Muslim communities of Lagos and later in Nigeria. The group, however, toed the line that a reformist Islam could co-exist with western innovations and ideas without relegating Islamic principles and values. With her mosque across the country, the organisation leads in propagation of the peace message of Islam using Quran and the Sunnah of MuhammadAndrew Roberts.
