Abstract

In the last few decades, gender issues have taken hold of important discussion in the local and international organization despite the fact that Islam has a distinctive view on gender and sexuality compared to other religions and cultures. One of the gender issues with bone of contention is transgender through which masculinity is transferred to femininity and vice versa. This paper therefore attempts to examine this concept among other issues on gender and sexualities as it is becoming the order of the day among the youths in the contemporary Nigerian Society. This is done with a view to using the Hadith of the Prophet recorded in Sahihu 'l-Muslim to address the issue from a religious perspective. The paper employs historical and analytical methods of research. Historical method accounts for the biography of Imam Muslim and brief information of his sahih while analytical is used in analyzing the Hadith in Satitu l-Muslim in relation to transgender. The study reveals that transgender people are as a result of excessive freedom of man to do anything he wants. It also reveals that the act of effeminating and emasculating is strictly detested in Islam. It thus concludes by proffering likely solutions to the issue of transgender in Nigeria in the light of the Prophet's tradition among which are banning of cross dressing, banishing the transgender person from the society and also constraining the influence of transgender in the society.

Abstract

Social media has become a dominant medium for communication and information exchange in contemporary societies, significantly influencing religious discourse and practice. In the context of Islam, social media platforms have emerged as important tools for Dacwah (Islamic propagation), enabling scholars and preachers to reach diverse audiences across geographical and cultural boundaries. This study examines the merits of the use of social media for Dacwah activities, with particular attention to its role as a source of Islamic knowledge, its wide audience coverage, its contribution to the protection of Muslim rights, its effectiveness in clarifying misconceptions about Islam, its use in fundraising for humanitarian causes, and its facilitation of marriage matchmaking in line with Islamic principles. The study adopts a qualitative research design based on an extensive review and content analysis of relevant scholarly literature, journal articles, books, and credible online sources. Findings reveal that social media enhances access to Islamic knowledge, strengthens engagement between scholars and followers, counters negative stereotypes about Islam, supports charitable initiatives, and provides alternative platforms for lawful matrimonial connections. The study concludes that social media, when responsibly and ethically utilized, offers significant opportunities for effective Dacwah in the modern age. It therefore recommends that qualified Muslim scholars intensify their engagement with social media platforms to promote authentic Islamic teachings and positively influence global perceptions of Islam.
