Different disciplines have explored the history of Islam in Yoruba land which started in the early 18 th Century. However, the role of Islamic Religious education in reducing the phenomenon of religious syncretism has not been systematically studied. Therefore, this article examines the extent of the involvement of Yoruba Muslims in syncretic beliefs and practices in Nigeria using the Lagos state as a case study, with a view to bringing out the impact of religious education through (the unity of Allah) Tawhid on them. This paper notes that there is prevalence of religious syncretism among many Yoruba Muslims and argues that the impact affects them negatively; if continuous awareness campaign and Islamic religious education could be rigorously carried out the phenomenon will be reduced. Both primary and secondary sources were used to obtain information on this paper. This paper argues that the impact of Tawhid and religious education is not yet much inculcated into many Yoruba Muslims owing to many reasons. Therefore, a concerted effort is necessary among all the Muslim scholars, Imam, and government in the task of reducing the negative impacts of religious syncretism
