Abstract

The eruption of Boko Haram and its insurgency in 2009 caused the loss of life and property that is unprecedented in northern Nigeria's history since independence. Various tools and approaches have been used in analyzing a phenomenon with a view to offering solutions to it. People from various walks of life including professionals and experts have expressed their views and opinions about groups, their activities and ways to limit them. Since the group is rightly or wrongly associated and identified with Islam in its activities, experts especially the ulama analyze the group from an Islamic perspective using the Qur'an and Sunnah and the actions of the salaf as their basis for offering solutions. to group problems. With this background, this paper examines the role of Ulama in dealing with the imbroglio of Boko Haram by using the Ulama model of Al Azhar University in particular. The historical method was adopted with data mostly collected from printed materials and the internet. This paper recommends among other things that our scholars should follow some of the approaches used by Al'azhar scholars in eliminating the influence of extremist and rebel groups. .

Abstract

Background: Poverty, food insecurity, inadequate healthcare, and unemployment are just a few of the many human security issues Northern Nigeria faces. Although Islamic philanthropy has traditionally contributed to social welfare, little is known about its systematic role in sustainable development and human security.Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate how Islamic charitable practices, such as zakat, waqf, and sadaqah, enhance aspects of human security and promote sustainable development outcomes in Northern Nigeria. Additionally, it looks for ways whereby state-led programs are enhanced by faith-based philanthropy.Method: The study integrates document analysis, thematic synthesis, and literature evaluation using a qualitative analytical methodology. While the function of Islamic philanthropy is investigated through its religious, social, and institutional contexts, human security is evaluated across economic, food, health, and social dimensions.Results: Results show that Islamic giving greatly reduces poverty, increases community stability, and promotes food and health security. While waqf and sadaqah offer long-term funding for emergency relief, healthcare, and education, zakat is the most effective tool. When taken as a whole, these tools serve as community-based social safety nets that support official development programs.Conclusion: By combining Islamic generosity with the human security framework, this study adds to the body of literature by providing conceptual and useful insights for practice and policy. These results can be used by governments and charitable organizations to improve human security and resource allocation. To further validate these insights, future study may include comparative studies and empirical data.
