Abstract

The spread of literacy, western civilization as well as the expansion of women’s job opportunities to men's field of endeavourhas levelled up the power tussle between men and women geometrically. Thus, women have proven to be resourceful, creative and active in ownership and shouldering responsibility as well as clamouring for participation in almost every aspect of life, especially leadership. However, several misconceptions about women leadership in Islām have risen among contemporary Muslim societies which have become impediments for some Muslim women to hold leadership positions. Base on this, this paper explored the relevance of bint al-Shati’s thought to clarifying the misconceptions surrounding women leadership in Islam. The research methods adopted were the historical method which was used in accounting for the biography of Bint Al-Shāṭi, the analytical; which aided in analysing the misconceptions about women's leadership in Islam, coupled with the views of Bint Al-Shāṭi and Muslim scholars and the phenomenological method which was used to relate the discussion to contemporary society. The research findings revealed that Bint Shāṭi challenged interpretations of religious texts that have been used to justify the marginalization and exclusion of women from leadership affairs. She further provided a progressive interpretation that promotes gender justice and equity and encouraged women to actively participate in public decision-making without exceeding their limitations. The paper concluded that her thoughts provided valuable insights into natural dispositions surrounding women's leadership in Islam and emphasized the women potential to be effective leaders by advocating education, equitable opportunities, and reinterpreting religious texts within an Islamic framework.

Abstract

Superstition as a belief or tale is generally interesting to most people all over the world in general and the Yorubas in particular. It is a practice that cuts across all aspects of the human’s life; religion, social, moral, and economic. The Muslims’ involvement in these practices calls for attention of Muslim scholars and researchers. The Muslims in Ogun State are not excluded among the Yoruba Muslims from these practices. Thus, this paper aims at exposing the level of involvement of some Yoruba Muslims in the practice of khurāfāt (superstitions) related to death among other practices. The paper examines the Islamic perspectives of the practices with a view to determining their consonance or otherwise with the fundamental principles of Islam. So, through the use of historical, descriptive and analytical research methods; this paper accounts for the historical background of Ogun State; explains the superstition practices related to death in Ogun State and analyses the practices using the Qur’ān, Sunnah and views of the Islamic scholars. The research findings reveal that negligence of the Muslims is the foremost reason for the involvement in the practice as well as ignorance of the Islamic rules of funeral rites leading to giving preference to Yoruba cultural superstitious practices over Islamic practices. The paper, therefore, recommends that the Muslim leaders, parents, guardians, Islamic Studies teachers and religious organizations should pay adequate attention to Islamic faith-based teachings that are devoid of superstitious practices and other fetish beliefs in order to have well informed and reformed Muslims.
