Abstract

Islam is a humanitarian religion that addresses all social imbalances among people for its betterment in this world and the hereafter. It naturally pointed out in the Qur'an and Sunnah that the state (government) and wealthy segment of the Muslim society must render care and benevolence to the poor class within and outside their localities. These social programs are meant to improve the social conditions of the people to live happily as relatives and provide protection to themselves and society in general. This system was used in the early period of Islam to reduce inequality gaps and provide mutual living among Muslims. The social crises confronting the people of the North-western part of Nigerian society could lead to the total collapse of the region due to banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other devastating social problems affecting the area. This paper adopts qualitative methods from library literature and observation to analyse its findings. The research observes that the involvement of middle and young people in these social problems results from moral decadence and poverty, among other issues. Finally, this work recommends general character reorientation, general public welfare awareness, remodelling of Islamic charity structure, establishing sustainable entrepreneurship programs etc.

Abstract

Malaria remains a major global health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where resistance to conventional antimalarial drugs continues to rise. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antiplasmodial activity of Psidium guajavaL. leaf fractions against Plasmodium falciparum. Dried leaves were extracted using ethanol and subsequently fractionated into n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and ethanol fractions. Phytochemical screening using standard reagents revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and saponins in all fractions, while tannins were detected only in the ethyl acetate and ethanol fractions. Antiplasmodial activity was assessed using the Giemsa staining method. All fractions demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition of parasite growth, with the ethanol fraction exhibiting the highest activity, achieving 84.38% inhibition at a concentration of 10.5 mg/mL. This activity was comparable, although slightly lower, than that of the standard drug artemether/lumefantrine, which showed 95.31% inhibition. The superior activity of the ethanol fraction is likely attributed to its higher content of polar bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids and tannins, which are known for their antiplasmodial properties. In conclusion, P. guajava leaf fractions, especially the ethanol fraction, exhibit significant antiplasmodial activity, supporting their traditional use in malaria treatment. These findings highlight the potential of P. guajava as a promising source of natural antimalarial agents and warrant further pharmacological and mechanistic studies.
