Abstract

Contemporary scholars in Nigeria have duly acknowledged the significant role of electronic media in conveying the pure messages of Islam. Nevertheless, there exists variation in the approaches taken by advocates of Islam, resulting in diverse outcomes. This study undertook a comparative examination of two radio da'wah programs in Ilorin: "Madrasatud Dalilis Shar'i", hosted by Professor Abdulrahman Ahmad and "Manhaj Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'a" hosted by Alfa Ali Jabata. The aim was to assess the relevance and impact of each program on the masses. Employing a combination of descriptive and comparative research methods, including interviews and observations, the study focused on selected episodes. The relevance of the programs was derived from the examination of the two programs while the impact assessment involved considering audience feedback and listener engagement. The findings indicate that "Manhaj ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'a" adopts a predominantly satirical tone, whereas "Madrasatud Dalilis Shari" maintains an academic approach. In light of these observations, the study recommends that effective da'wah activities should strike a balance between being mild and academic and should not be sataric. This objective could be realized through the establishment of an institution in Ilorin to regulate da'wah practices. This institution, ideally comprising a committee of experts in the field, would require government support to ensure its effectiveness.

Abstract

Qur’anic exegetes engaged one another in a serious debate over the disposition of Prophet Yusuf at the time of great temptation as captured in Qur’an 12:24. Against this background, this work exegetically studied the view of some scholars regarding the infallibility of Prophet Yusuf with a view to identifying the appropriate interpretation of the verse in question. Findings of the work revealed that while some scholars only considered the divine protection enjoyed by Prophet Yusuf in a narrow sense, others underscored the person of Yusuf as a Prophet of Allah and placed him above all human tendencies. Another group however, maintained the middle course between the two groups above. This paper concluded that Yusuf was a Prophet of Allah who enjoyed divine protection against committing sins and at the same time, he was a human being who could have an inclination towards evil thoughts without having a determination to commit sinful acts.

Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the impact of qiṣāṣ on justice and social harmony in Nigeria, a nation known for its rich cultural and religious diversity. Qiṣāṣ, which underscores the principle of fair retribution in Islamic law, provides a framework for resolving conflicts and addressing grievances, thereby fostering community trust and collaboration. By analyzing its historical context and current applications, the study illustrates how qiṣāṣ can reduce cycles of violence and support restorative justice in Nigeria. The paper aims to identify the challenges and opportunities of integrating qiṣāṣ into Nigeria's legal system, incorporating perspectives from various stakeholders. Utilizing a blend of historical and descriptive research methods, the paper gathered data through interviews, observations, and literature analysis. Findings of the paper suggest that effective implementation of qiṣāṣ could greatly enhance social cohesion and improve the prospects for peace and sustainable development in Nigeria's diverse society. The paper therefore, advocates for genuine enforcement of the law in areas where it is practiced and its integration into the broader Nigerian legal framework.

Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationship between Shariah education and the formation of national identity within Nigerian universities. As a country marked by religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, Nigeria faces ongoing challenges in forging a cohesive national identity. The inclusion of Shariah-related courses in university curricula, particularly in institutions located in the predominantly Muslim northern region, raises critical questions about the role of religious legal education in a secular and pluralistic state. Using a multidisciplinary methodology that combines legal analysis, educational policy review, and qualitative interviews with students and faculty, this research investigates how Shariah education influences perceptions of citizenship, national belonging, and social cohesion. Findings suggest that while Shariah instruction can serve as a means of cultural affirmation and moral guidance, it also has the potential to either bridge or deepen national divides depending on how it is framed and integrated within broader academic and civic discourses. The paper concludes with recommendations for a more inclusive educational framework that respects religious diversity while reinforcing a shared national identity.
