Abstract

 In Northern Nigeria, the growing number of out-of-school children and the difficulties associated with vocational education provide a serious obstacle to sustainable development. Socioeconomic disparities, a lack of adequate government financing, and ineffective institutional frameworks are the main causes of these problems. The potential role of restoring waqf (Islamic endowment) organizations as a long-term solution to these issues is examined in this research. In Islamic nations, waqf organizations have traditionally played a significant role in funding social welfare, healthcare, and education. Waqf can offer the infrastructure and resources required to support vocational education and reintegrate out-of-school youth into the educational ecosystem by utilizing their innate values of generosity and community empowerment. The study emphasizes the working mechanisms of waqf and its applicability to contemporary socio-economic requirements by combining qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. It looks at effective waqf models in other Islamic countries and assesses how well they work in Northern Nigeria. It also provides a strategic framework for waqf institution revitalization, which includes capacity building, legal reforms, and waqf integration with current public and commercial programs. The results show that a well-designed waqf system may sustainably fund educational facilities, scholarships, and vocational training centers, lowering poverty and promoting economic independence among underserved areas. The study comes to the conclusion that government agencies, religious institutions, and civil society organizations must work together to revive waqf institutions for addressing the existing challenges in the vocational education, and out-of-school children circle in northern Nigeria. By addressing the dual challenge of vocational education and out-of-school children, waqf institutions can play a transformative role in shaping a more equitable and prosperous Northern Nigeria.  [Di Nigeria Utara, meningkatnya jumlah anak yang tidak bersekolah serta berbagai kendala dalam pendidikan kejuruan menjadi hambatan serius bagi pembangunan berkelanjutan. Ketimpangan sosial-ekonomi, kurangnya pendanaan pemerintah yang memadai, serta kelemahan dalam kerangka kelembagaan merupakan faktor utama yang menyebabkan permasalahan ini. Penelitian ini mengkaji potensi revitalisasi lembaga wakaf sebagai solusi jangka panjang terhadap permasalahan tersebut. Dalam sejarah negara-negara Islam, lembaga wakaf telah memainkan peran penting dalam pembiayaan kesejahteraan sosial, layanan kesehatan, dan pendidikan. Dengan mengedepankan nilai-nilai kedermawanan dan pemberdayaan komunitas, wakaf dapat menyediakan infrastruktur dan sumber daya yang diperlukan untuk mendukung pendidikan kejuruan serta mengintegrasikan kembali anak-anak yang tidak bersekolah ke dalam sistem pendidikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif untuk menganalisis mekanisme kerja wakaf dan relevansinya terhadap kebutuhan sosial-ekonomi kontemporer. Studi ini juga menelaah model wakaf yang berhasil diterapkan di negara-negara Islam lainnya serta mengevaluasi efektivitasnya di Nigeria Utara. Selain itu, penelitian ini mengusulkan kerangka strategis untuk revitalisasi lembaga wakaf, yang mencakup peningkatan kapasitas, reformasi hukum, dan integrasi wakaf dengan program publik serta sektor swasta yang telah ada. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem wakaf yang dirancang dengan baik dapat secara berkelanjutan membiayai fasilitas pendidikan, beasiswa, dan pusat pelatihan kejuruan, sehingga berkontribusi dalam pengurangan kemiskinan serta peningkatan kemandirian ekonomi bagi kelompok masyarakat yang kurang beruntung. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa kolaborasi antara lembaga pemerintah, institusi keagamaan, dan organisasi masyarakat sipil sangat diperlukan dalam merevitalisasi lembaga wakaf guna mengatasi permasalahan pendidikan kejuruan dan anak-anak yang tidak bersekolah di Nigeria Utara. Dengan mengatasi tantangan ganda ini, lembaga wakaf dapat berperan secara transformatif dalam menciptakan masyarakat Nigeria Utara yang lebih adil dan sejahtera.

Abstract

This paper highlights the political dimension of Muhammad’s Prophethood as a comprehensive civilizational project aimed at improving moral ethics, justice, and class reform in the framework of society leadership and governance. Using a conceptual–narrative approach that draws from classical Islamic historiography (Sirah Nabawiyah) and modern interpretive context, the study situates the Prophet’s mission as both a spiritual awakening and a political transformation grounded in tauhid (divine unity). The research argues that the Prophet redefined politics as an ethical mission, transforming it from an arena of domination into a means of cultivating justice and moral consciousness. The Meccan phase illustrates moral resistance and class awakening, where faith became a force of ethical protest against social oppression. The Hijrah to Medina marked a transition from moral resistance to institutional civilization, establishing the Charter of Medina as one of the earliest constitutional models of pluralistic justice. Within the Madinan foundation, the Prophet institutionalized justice, social economy instruments of moral ethics governance, creating a balance between spirituality, law, and civic duty. The study concludes that Prophet Muhammad’s leadership civilized politics by linking power to moral purpose and embedding ethics in governance, economy, and society. His vision of a madani (civilized) community presents an enduring model of ethical statecraft where human dignity, equality, and compassion guide public order. This synthesis of faith and justice demonstrates that the foundation of Islamic civilization is moral ethics based, not material, anchored in the pursuit of righteousness, social welfare, and universal peace.

Abstract

Everyone agrees that education is essential to both personal advancement and society change. The objective of sustainable development is threatened in the twenty-first century by a number of interrelated issues that the world community must deal with, including inequality, ecological degradation, moral decay, and technological disruption. In order to create a sustainable future, this paper investigates how religion, as a source of ethical and spiritual knowledge, might revolutionize education. The study combines UNESCO's Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) goal with religious ethical frameworks using a qualitative and conceptual methodology. The results show that the moral underpinnings required to shift education towards sustainability are provided by faith-based values, such as stewardship, justice, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge. The study focusses on case studies from indigenous, Christian, and Islamic traditions that effectively connect religious principles with social and environmental responsibility. In order to achieve the aims of global sustainability, it calls for greater cooperation between governments, faith-based organizations, and educators. It concludes that a spiritually orientated education fosters societal harmony and comprehensive human development.

Abstract

The emergence of digital technology and e-commerce has provided uncountable access of wealth and novel economic prospects to women worldwide, particularly Muslim women residing in Northern Nigeria. This study investigates the ways in which Muslim women engage in e-commerce within an area that has historically been influenced by conventional conservative religious and cultural standards. Through an analysis of their participation in virtual enterprises, the research underscores the distinct socio-cultural and religious elements impacting their e-commerce endeavors. It also discusses the difficulties they have, like their lack of access to technology, low levels of digital literacy, and financial marginalization. The study uses secondary data from government papers, academic literature, and case studies as part of a qualitative research technique. Women who were involved in e-commerce were interviewed, and data from previous surveys was examined to offer insights into the trends of participation and the barriers faced. The results indicate that although e-commerce presents a great opportunity for economic empowerment, a number of obstacles prevent full engagement. These include the necessity for financial products that comply with Sharia law, societal expectations, and infrastructure constraints. The article ends with suggestions for boosting the participation of Muslim women in the digital economy, with an emphasis on advancing financial services that adhere to Sharia law, increasing digital literacy, and increasing access to technology. These tactics may encourage Muslim women to become more financially independent, which would boost the region's economy in Northern Nigeria.  Abstrak: Munculnya teknologi digital dan e-commerce telah memberikan akses kekayaan dan prospek ekonomi baru yang tak terhitung jumlahnya bagi perempuan di seluruh dunia, terutama perempuan Muslim yang tinggal di Nigeria Utara. Studi ini menyelidiki cara-cara di mana wanita Muslim terlibat dalam e-commerce dalam area yang secara historis dipengaruhi oleh standar agama dan budaya konservatif konvensional. Melalui analisis partisipasi mereka dalam perusahaan virtual, penelitian ini menggarisbawahi elemen sosial-budaya dan agama yang berbeda yang memengaruhi upaya e-commerce mereka. Ini juga membahas kesulitan yang mereka hadapi, seperti kurangnya akses ke teknologi, tingkat literasi digital yang rendah, dan marginalisasi keuangan. Studi ini menggunakan data sekunder dari makalah pemerintah, literatur akademik, dan studi kasus sebagai bagian dari teknik penelitian kualitatif. Wanita yang terlibat dalam e-commerce diwawancarai, dan data dari survei sebelumnya diperiksa untuk menawarkan wawasan tentang tren partisipasi dan hambatan yang dihadapi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun e-commerce menghadirkan peluang besar untuk pemberdayaan ekonomi, sejumlah hambatan menghalangi keterlibatan penuh. Ini termasuk perlunya produk keuangan yang sesuai dengan hukum Syariah, harapan masyarakat, dan kendala infrastruktur. Artikel diakhiri dengan saran untuk meningkatkan partisipasi perempuan Muslim dalam ekonomi digital, dengan penekanan pada memajukan layanan keuangan yang menganut hukum Syariah, meningkatkan literasi digital, dan meningkatkan akses ke teknologi. Taktik ini dapat mendorong wanita Muslim untuk menjadi lebih mandiri secara finansial, yang akan meningkatkan ekonomi kawasan di Nigeria Utara.

Abstract

Human greed, carelessness, and a lack of moral concern for other living things have undermined the vital connection that exists between humans and the environment. Pollution, deforestation, and careless garbage disposal are just a few examples of how far society has strayed from its moral obligation to protect the environment. The goal of this study is to investigate how moral and ethical principles can be applied to rectify environmentally harmful human attitudes. The study's primary goal is to advance environmental ethics as a means of resurrecting human empathy and accountability for all living things. Using a qualitative approach, books, journal articles, passages from the Qur'an, and prophetic traditions emphasizing moral behaviour and earth stewardship were reviewed. Results show that environmental degradation is not just a physical problem but also a moral one brought on by ignorance, greed, and a lack of empathy. According to the study, people are more inclined to preserve and defend the environment when they see it through the prism of humanity and divine trust. Therefore, the work suggests that public awareness campaigns be used to support the inclusion of environmental ethics in moral and religious education at all levels. It suggests that people, educators, and religious organizations collaborate to create a culture of environmental responsibility and compassion for all living things, concluding that true humanity is reflected in genuine care for the environment.

Abstract

This study looks into how women-led home-based businesses in Northern Nigeria operate in regard to Islamic household management concepts. In particular, it looks at how female entrepreneurs incorporate important Islamic principles like ?adl (justice), i?tid?l/?isr?f avoidance (moderation), and barakah (blessing) into their household and microbusiness management. In many Northern Nigerian villages, women are increasingly working in small-scale jobs including food processing, crafts, and tailoring to help support their families. While Islamic teachings provide a thorough framework for striking a balance between economic endeavours and household responsibilities, little empirical study has examined how women who own micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) really implement these concepts in their dual roles. In Bauchi, Gombe, and Kaduna States, a purposive sample of twenty women running home-based MSMEs in a variety of trades participated in a qualitative multiple-case research. Semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and the examination of personal and professional documents were used to gather data. To find trends in the distribution of profits, time management, resource allocation, and social duties, thematic analysis was used. The results show that women entrepreneurs' daily choices are greatly influenced by Islamic values. Participants established shared-storage practices in line with Islamic moderation, prioritized halal sourcing, and reduced waste through group purchases. Maintaining balance between work, religion, and childcare was made easier by planning work schedules around daily prayers. With a methodical allocation to home needs, business reinvestment, zakat responsibilities, and voluntary charity, profit distribution techniques also mirrored Islamic standards of fairness. The study comes to the conclusion that Islamic household management concepts offer a useful moral and practical framework that improves the long-term viability of women-owned businesses. In Northern Nigeria, strengthening these practices through women-focused support programs, faith-based business training, and community microfinance can further foster local economic development and family resilience.

Abstract

This paper develops a conceptual framework for integrating zakat and waqf as complementary instruments aimed at sustainable economic empowerment. The two main pillars of Islamic social finance, zakat and waqf, have historically and theologically pursued complementing social goals of the public interest (maslahah), social protection, and poverty alleviation. In many Muslim-majority nations, waqf (an endowment intended to produce enduring public benefit) and zakat (a redistributive, mandatory alms giving) have mainly functioned in separate institutional and legal frameworks while having a similar goal of improving human welfare and acts of worship. This paper aims to discuss the strategic integration of zakat and waqf, particularly in contemporary forms like cash waqf, zakat-funded waqf seed capital, and joint zakat-waqf impact programs, to significantly increase the resource base for programs aimed at sustainable economic empowerment, boost the effectiveness of attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and enhance governance and accountability in Islamic social finance. The paper presents an operational framework for integration, addresses governance safeguards and shariah considerations, and provides policy recommendations to practitioners, regulators, and donors using a systematic literature synthesis, comparative models, and illustrative case studies (Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria) and contemporary conceptual models. The study concludes that, despite operational, legal, and institutional obstacles, digitally enabled governance, standardized impact indicators, and hybrid public-private partnerships offer practical means to scale zakat-waqf integration for inclusive and sustainable development.
