Abstract

It is not an overstatement to say that things continue to degenerate everyday in all aspects of human life, especially the social aspect. This social life of man is full of transgression and corruption which have led to moral degeneration in the society. These societal evils have extended their tentacles to educational life of man, the Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria especially the Universities, which are to provide the needed man power, acquisition of skills and refinement of moral for the future leaders of the country, have become the breeding grounds for ignoramus, hoodlums, cheaters, rapists, prostitutes, etc. The study adopted historical, descriptive and phenomenological methods in carrying out the research.  The paper revealed some notable immoralities which are the order of the day in the Nigerian Tertiary Institutions and are posing threats to educational developments in the nation. The paper concluded that religious universities are alternatives in controlling the rate at which the immoralities are growing.  Thus, it recommended that Islamic Universities should be given licenses as the lasting solution to the menace through their series of programmer which are in consonance with the tenets of Islam.

Abstract

The Islamic perspective of education is the harmonization between sense, mind and religious faith to build a complete and an ideal personality in an Islamic environment. However, the contemporary learners in Nigeria are not only reducing in moral but also religious teachings which are the core values in personality development. Series of questions could be raised as per the reason behind the reduction of Nigeria system of learning in achieving its core objective in the learners especially among the Muslims. By this, the teacher, the learners and the system are needed to be scrutinized for possible response in rebuilding the Nigerian learning system. It is therefore the aim of this paper to investigate the philosophical thoughts of Abu Hāmid Al-Ghazālī and their relevance to reformation of learning in Nigerian. In achieving this, the paper adopts historical and analytical methods of research. The historical method has assisted in accounting for the biography of Al-Ghazālī while analytical method has been used to explain the philosophical thoughts of Al-Ghazālī in relation to how they can be used to reform learning system in Nigerian society. This will assist in reclaiming the early Muslim identity in learning. The paper reveals that the Nigerian learning system is suffering a taste of spirituality by focusing more on materialism. The paper concludes that spirituality is needed in ensuring better change in the life of the learners. The paper, therefore, recommends the incorporation of Imam Al-Ghazālī’s thoughts into the learning curriculum of the Muslim Youths across all levels of education.

Abstract

Theology as a branch of knowledge in Islamic studies,it’s still a debate among Muslims.Especially in contemporary times. This article provides a resume of al-Imam al-Alusi's contribution, as commentator, to the theological discussions in his Magnum Opus: Ruhul-Maani. To achieve this, this paper examines his views on several theological issues selected in his attempt to interpret the verses of the Qur'an with the main aim of discovering the quality and suitability of his arguments and their conformity with the basic principles and sources of Islam. This paper aims to share information about its stance and provide clarification if needed. The findings reveal that al-Imam al-Alusi's theological discussion includes the views of the major Islamic sects; Sunnis, Shi'ites, Mu'tazilites, Ash'arites, among others and brought their own opinions. It is also established that theological differences arise from philosophical thought in defense of individual sects. It was also revealed that the divergence did not affect the fundamentals of Islamic theology.

Abstract

A lot of works have been written on Tafsīr of the noble Qur’ān with their various characteristics that distinguish them from one another. Some focused on the use of traditions (Riwāyah) while some others focus on the use of acquired knowledge (Dirāyah) or opinion- based Tafsīr (Ra’y). This study focused on one of the most popular works on Tafsīr bir-Ra’y entitled Rūḥu’l-Ma’āni fi Tafsīri’l-Qur’āni’l-’Azīm was-Sab’i’l-Mathānī (The Insightful Meaning of the Exegesis of the glorious Qur’ān and the Seven Reoccurrence). The paper aimed at bringing out the hidden treasure of this encyclopedic work of Tafsīr to the English audience including its features and the sources of its information. The method adopted in this research is basically analytical and exegetical method. Findings revealed that Rūḥu’l-Ma’āni has some characteristics that stand it out among other works of Tafsīr such as logical connection between verses and chapters, grammatical analysis of verses and verification of hadīth among others. It was also revealed that the author relied on many books and scholars of different fields in his Tafsīr which makes the book a compendium of Tafsīr, and an inevitable reference material for contemporary Qur’ānic commentators. The paper concluded by recommending that the contemporary scholars and students of Tafsīr should create awareness on the significance of the tafsir book by using it in tafsir session and carrying out further research on it as well as making it an additional source of information while explaining the glorious Qur’ān.
