Abstract

Al-Iqtiṣādu’l-’Islāmī:’Ususun wamabādi’u wa ’ahdāf is one of the classical works written to unveil the Islamic mechanism to regulate fiscal relations on the basis of the Qur’ān and Sunnah. This paper, therefore, aims at studying one of the chapters of the work that focuses on the economic functions of Islamic government with a view to unfold the tools needed to turn around the economy of Nigeria and accentuate the necessity of formulating robust economic policies that are friendly to the down trodden masses as emphasised in the work. At-Turki, in this work, strived to proffer solution to the economic problems of the world including Nigeria by highlighting the roles anticipated from the progressive government aspiring to attain stable prices, full employment and economic growth. Through phenomenological method, the work observed that the Nigerian government aligned with some Islamic economic policies despite the fact that it is a multi-religious nation but the bane experienced in the economy is not unconnected to its failure to key into the functions totally. The work recommends utilisation of the propositions of At-Turki since they are divinely guided and submitted that legalisation of the commodities that are diametrically opposed to the divine Book recede economic growth.

Abstract

Late childhood is accompanied by multifaceted problems in Nigeria. Hence, the challenges cut across all facets of life including spiritual, social and economic aspects. This paper therefore addresses these challenges using the provisions of Islam on the care for aged as a recipe for a way out. It assesses these challenges with the theoretical explanation of the duties of individuals and society to the aged. The paper advocates compliance with the dos and don’ts of Islam as regards the rights of the elderly and recommends the dire need for Nigerian government to introduce policies that would enhance social support to the elderly.

Abstract

This article examines the ethical dilemmas faced by Muslim communities in making Islamic legal (ijtihād) decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly regarding the suspension of congregational prayers to protect physical health. Focusing on the Muslim community in Nigeria, the study highlights how believers opted to postpone communal worship in mosques to preserve life while continuing individual prayers at home. Using a qualitative approach through literature review, fatwā analysis, and sociological data, the article demonstrates that the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs)—a core objective in maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah—served as the religious justification for prioritizing public health. The findings reveal that Islamic legal ethics are adaptive and contextual, allowing jurisprudential flexibility in times of crisis. The article’s scholarly contribution lies in integrating maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and Islamic legal ethics with public health principles while offering a sociological perspective on religious behavior during emergencies. It also enriches global discourse on faith-based responses to the pandemic beyond the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
