Abstract

This study examines the psychological effects of social media on Muslim youths in Northern Nigeria. By taking an in-depth look at the growth of social media in the region, its use by Muslim youths, and its effects on their psychological well-being, this study seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding the psychological impact of social media use. In order to understand this phenomenon, we conducted qualitative interviews with 22 Muslim youths in northern Nigeria. Results indicate that the majority of participants believe that social media use has a negative effect on their psychological well-being, with many citing feelings of anxiety, depression, and insecurity when using social media frequently. Further, results showed that many participants reported feelings of alienation from the local communities, since they often felt that they were judged for their online behavior due to the false impressions created by social media. Overall, this study demonstrates the degree to which social media has infiltrated the lives of many Muslim youths in Northern Nigeria and how its effects may be both positive and negative. It is important to recognize the potential psychological effects of social media use in this population and to equip Muslim youths with the necessary resources to navigate its use in a healthy way.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji praktik jual beli lumpur emas yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat pertambangan rakyat di Kecamatan Sekotong, Lombok Barat, serta menganalisis kesesuaiannya dengan prinsip-prinsip hukum ekonomi Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian hukum empiris. Data diperoleh melalui observasi lapangan, wawancara mendalam dengan penambang rakyat dan pengepul lumpur emas, serta dokumentasi sebagai data pendukung. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif-analitis dengan mengaitkan temuan empiris dengan ketentuan normatif hukum ekonomi Islam, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan rukun dan syarat sah jual beli serta larangan unsur gharar dan maysir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik jual beli lumpur emas di Sekotong dilakukan secara informal dan tanpa pengujian kadar emas secara ilmiah, sehingga kandungan emas sebagai nilai utama objek transaksi tidak dapat diketahui secara pasti saat akad berlangsung. Mekanisme penentuan harga yang bersifat subjektif dan berbasis perkiraan menimbulkan ketidakpastian serta asimetri informasi di antara para pihak. Kondisi ini mengindikasikan adanya unsur gharar yang signifikan serta potensi maysir, sehingga praktik tersebut belum sepenuhnya memenuhi prinsip keadilan dan kejelasan objek dalam hukum ekonomi Islam. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya standardisasi pengujian kadar emas, edukasi hukum ekonomi Islam bagi pelaku transaksi, serta pengembangan mekanisme akad yang lebih transparan dan sesuai dengan prinsip syariah guna mewujudkan praktik jual beli yang adil dan berkelanjutan

Abstract

Northeastern Nigeria faces a countless of environmental challenges, including desertification, deforestation, water scarcity, and the adverse effects of climate change. These issues not only threaten the region’s ecological balance but also jeopardize the livelihoods, health, and social stability of its communities. Amidst these challenges, religious moderation emerges as a pivotal factor in fostering sustainable environmental stewardship. This paper explores the intersection of religious moderation and environmental management, emphasizing the influential role of religious leaders and Islamic teachings in promoting eco-friendly practices. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative interviews with community leaders and quantitative analysis of environmental indicators, the study identifies key mechanisms through which religious moderation contributes to mitigating environmental degradation. Findings reveal that religious leaders who advocate for balance, stewardship (Khilafah), and justice (Adl) significantly enhance community engagement in conservation efforts and the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Additionally, case studies highlight successful initiatives where religious institutions collaborated with governmental and non-governmental organizations to address water scarcity and reforestation. However, the research also identifies challenges such as poverty, limited educational resources, and the rise of extremism that hinder the full potential of religious moderation in environmental governance. The paper concludes by recommending a collaborative framework between religious bodies, government agencies, and local communities to amplify the impact of religious moderation on environmental sustainability. By integrating religious principles with environmental policies, Northeastern Nigeria can navigate its ecological challenges more effectively, ensuring a harmonious balance between development and conservation. This study contributes to the broader discourse on the role of religion in environmental sustainability and provides actionable insights for policymakers and religious leaders aiming to foster a resilient and sustainable future for the region.
