Abstract

The paper looks at the increasing nature of cybercrime activities, particularly yahoo-yahoo in Nigeria. The paper adopted descriptive and evaluative methods of research to gather and analyze relevant data. The paper identifies some cases of this crime in society to validate its position. The findings show that the influence of peer groups, parental and societal support, unemployment, and many others account for the growing nature of crime in society. While the paper posits that the criminal gain from Yahoo activities is temporal, it draws attention to the concept of life after death and accountability as enumerated in Qur’an chapter 102 as a deterrence to the people’s inordinate quest for wealth at all costs. The paper recommends a more robust orientation of people by both religious leaders and appropriate government agencies on the need to have the human mind and no devilish nature. The government and the well-to-do people in society are also encouraged to join hands to address the problem of unemployment.

Abstract

Water is a fundamental resource vital for sustaining life and supporting diverse activities such as agriculture, industry, and electricity generation. Despite its abundance, Nigeria faces significant challenges in water preservation and utilization due to factors such as public apathy toward government resources, insufficient maintenance of water infrastructure, industrial pollution, and inadequate collaboration between the government and private sectors. This study, grounded in Islamic teachings, aims to explore effective strategies for addressing these challenges while highlighting the moral and ethical imperatives for responsible water management. The research adopts a descriptive and literary methodology, drawing insights from relevant texts, journals, and online resources. Islamic principles of accountability, collective responsibility, and sustainability provide the framework for analyzing and proposing solutions. Findings reveal that poor sanitation, insufficient investment in dam infrastructure, and lack of administrative commitment exacerbate water-related issues in Nigeria. Moreover, public awareness and adherence to Islamic values, such as avoiding wastage and prioritizing communal welfare, are essential for ensuring long-term solutions. The study introduces a novel approach by integrating Islamic teachings with contemporary water management practices, emphasizing the role of ethical leadership and communal collaboration. It concludes that fostering private-sector engagement, expanding water infrastructure, and cultivating public awareness through Islamic values can significantly enhance water preservation efforts. These strategies, when implemented effectively, not only address Nigeria’s pressing water challenges but also contribute to sustainable development and societal well-being.

Abstract

This paper explores the origin of Islam as a divine religion revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and conveyed to mankind. The demise of the prophet, however, did not bring an end to the message of Islam. It was as a result of the tenacity of his companions, who were able to completely comprehend the message, preserve the teachings, and entrust them to the next generation. The life chronicle of the companions unveils how they sacrificed their noble status, life, and wealth for the cause of Islam. Their practical application of the teachings of the religion, such as their tenacity in upholding the spirit of truthfulness and trustworthiness, embracing the love for the prophet and his family, promoting the spirit of brotherhood, and ensuring swift compliance with his instructions, is noteworthy. This paper equally looks into their commitment to preserving and disseminating the message of Islam, and how they promoted harmonious Muslim non-Muslim relations, following the dictates of the Quran and the teachings of the prophet. The research adopted a library method to explore related materials from various library collections. In conclusion, this study disclosed the dedication of the prophet’s companions as a means through which God aims to ensure the continuity of the message of Islam for future generations. In addition, their exemplary life inspires Muslims to follow in their footsteps in promoting the path of Islam.
