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.
