Abstract

Recent events show that there are heightened fear, hostilities, prejudices and discriminations associated with religion in virtually every part of the world. It becomes almost impossible to watch news daily without scenes of religious intolerance and violence with dire consequences for societal peace. This paper examines the trends, causes and implications of Islamophobia and religious intolerance for global peace and harmonious co-existence. It relies on content analysis of secondary sources of data. It notes that fear and hatred associated with Islām and persecution of Muslims is the fallout of religious intolerance as reflected in most melee and verbal attacks, anti-Muslim hatred, racism, xenophobia, anti-Sharī'ah policies, high-profile terrorist attacks, and growing trends of far-right or right-wing extremists. It reveals that Islamophobia and religious intolerance have led to proliferation of attacks on Muslims, incessant loss of lives, wanton destruction of property, violation of Muslims’ fundamental rights and freedom, rising fear of insecurity, and distrust between Muslims and non-Muslims. The paper concludes that escalating Islamophobic attacks and religious intolerance globally had constituted a serious threat to world peace and harmonious co-existence. Relevant resolutions in curbing rising trends of Islamophobia and religious intolerance are suggested.

Abstract

Da‘wah plays a crucial role in spreading the teachings and principles of Islām globally. Different Islamic scholars have employed variety of techniques and platforms to fulfil this hallowed act of worship. Over the last two decades, social media revolution (SMR) has changed the dynamics of communication, democratized access to information, and promoted cross-cultural dialogue. Accordingly, Muslim preachers (Du‘āt) in Nigeria have considerably boosted their use of social media platforms, such as Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube, among others, for da‘wah. However, the extent to which SMR has influenced da‘wah activities in Ijebuland has received little attention in literature. This paper conducted an empirical survey into the impact of SMR on da‘wah propagation in Ijebuland, Ogun State. It used a descriptive survey design and content analysis approach. It argued that SMR has significantly changed the dynamics of da‘wah in the region. Despite the identified challenges facing their utilization, Ijebu Du‘āt have effectively utilized social media outlets with rational record of abuse. The study concludes that social media has indeed become a potent tool for da‘wah practice in Ijebuland. The findings justify the need for further studies to ascertain steps to take to strengthen SMR application to propagate da‘wah within the Islamic framework of tolerance, dialogue, mutual understanding and harmonious coexistence.***Dakwah memainkan peran penting dalam menyebarkan ajaran dan prinsip-prinsip Islam secara global. Berbagai cendekiawan Islam (ulama) telah menggunakan berbagai teknik dan platform untuk memenuhi ibadah suci ini. Selama dua dekade terakhir, revolusi media sosial (social media revolution/SMR) telah mengubah dinamika komunikasi, mendemokratisasikan akses terhadap informasi, dan mendorong dialog lintas budaya. Oleh karena itu, para pendakwah Muslim (du‘āt) di Nigeria telah meningkatkan penggunaan platform media sosial, seperti Facebook, X, Instagram, dan YouTube, antara lain, untuk dakwah. Namun sejauh mana pengaruh SMR terhadap kegiatan dakwah di Ijebuland hanya mendapat sedikit perhatian dalam literatur. Makalah ini melakukan survei empiris mengenai dampak SMR terhadap penyebaran dakwah di Ijebuland, Negara Bagian Ogun. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain survei deskriptif dan pendekatan analisis isi. Mereka berpendapat bahwa SMR telah mengubah dinamika dakwah di wilayah ini secara signifikan. Terlepas dari tantangan yang dihadapi dalam pemanfaatannya, para pendakwah Ijebu telah secara efektif memanfaatkan media sosial yang memiliki catatan penyalahgunaan yang rasional. Kajian tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa media sosial memang menjadi alat yang ampuh dalam praktik dakwah di Ijebuland. Temuan ini membenarkan perlunya studi lebih lanjut untuk memastikan langkah-langkah yang perlu diambil untuk memperkuat penerapan SMR guna menyebarkan dakwah dalam kerangka toleransi, dialog, saling pengertian dan hidup berdampingan secara harmonis dalam Islam.

Abstract

The religious insurgency championed by the Boko Ḥarām movement has threatened Nigeria's quest for sustainable peace for more than a decade despite the counter-insurgency measures of successive governments. This paper examined Nigeria's turbulent decade of religious insurgency, its position within the Islamic context, and Islamically-inclined practicable solution to the threat. It used analytical research method based on existing secondary literature and primary Islamic law sources. The paper reveals that a turbulent decade of Boko Ḥarām insurgency has wreaked havoc on the peace and tranquillity previously existing among Nigeria's diverse ethno-religious entities. The analysis of Quranic texts, aḥādīth and opinions of notable scholars also indicates that religious insurgency associated with Boko Ḥarām is inconsistent with Islamic doctrines. Tolerance among religionists, proper religious teachings and interpretation of divine scripture, genuine inter and intra-faith dialogues, Islamic leadership-cum-governance paradigms, among others, were the identified Islamic-modelled panacea to the insurgency. The paper concludes that if the identified Islamic model can be embraced and considered in the scheme of things by religious and political leaders, as well as their ardent followers, the current religious insurgency would be drastically curtailed, thereby advancing sustainable peace in Nigeria.

Abstract

The article examines the implications of social media misuse by Yoruba Muslim preachers (du’āt) on intra-religious peaceful coexistence. The research aims to highlight how the irresponsible use of online platforms by these preachers has led to increased hostility and division within the Muslim community. The study emphasizes the importance of adhering to Islamic principles that promote unity, tolerance, and mutual respect when conducting da’wah (religious outreach) online. To achieve this, the researchers used a descriptive survey design to analyze the social media activities of Yoruba, Nigeria du‘āt. The study reveals that some preachers have engaged in behavior contrary to Islamic teachings, such as spreading misinformation, hate speech, and engaging in personal attacks. This misuse of social media has caused polarization, mistrust, and even led to legal actions, further harming the peaceful coexistence of the Muslim community. The paper concludes that du‘āt must practice responsible and ethical online da‘wah that aligns with Islamic values, particularly those that foster harmony and peaceful coexistence. The research calls for a return to the core principles of Islamic law to mitigate the negative effects of social media misuse.

Abstract

The emergence of Islamic AI applications represents a pivotal transformation in the mediation of daʿwah. Yet, it raises pressing concerns about bias, epistemic validity, and the absence of recognized religious authority. This study examines ChatMu GPT and MuslimAI.ai, two prominent platforms with distinct theological orientations, to evaluate how they address religious questions framed within Indonesia's four indicators of religious moderation across the domains of message of da'wah, such asʿaqīdah (creed), ʿibādah (worship), and muʿāmalah (social ethics). Using qualitative content analysis and drawing on Algorithmic Bias Theory, six prompts were designed to test inclusivity, doctrinal balance, and ethical framing. Findings reveal that ChatMu GPT consistently grounds responses in Muhammadiyah doctrinal sources, producing structured but institutionally aligned guidance, while MuslimAI.ai prioritizes emotional inclusivity and accessibility at the expense of jurisprudential depth. Both exhibit limited transparency of sources and potential algorithmic bias. These results suggest that while Islamic AI can enhance accessibility to religious knowledge, its unsupervised use risks narrowing interpretive diversity. The study recommends hybrid AI models supervised by qualified ʿulamāʾ, trained on pluralistic datasets, and aligned with Islamic ethical principles of ṣidq (truthfulness), amānah (trustworthiness), and maṣlaḥah (public good) to preserve the integrity of digital daʿwah.
