Abstract

This study delves into the complex interplay of religion, politics, and power in Africa, focusing on the Nigerian context and drawing valuable lessons from the Sharīah Madīnah plural model. Through a multidisciplinary approach, including qualitative analysis, case studies, and comparative analysis, the research reveals that Nigeria's political landscape is deeply influenced by religious affiliations, primarily Islam and Christianity, which play pivotal roles in shaping political agendas and power dynamics. The findings underscore the importance of fostering religious tolerance and interfaith dialogue while promoting inclusive governance to navigate the challenges posed by religious diversity in Africa's political systems. Drawing inspiration from the Sharīah Madīnah model, this study advocates for nuanced approaches that respect religious pluralism while upholding democratic principles, offering valuable insights for a more harmonious coexistence in Africa's diverse religious and political milieu.

Abstract

Muslim feminists in Muslim societies have become increasingly independent and visible professionals in the modern world. They are visible in the public space, especially in the entertainment industry, as they use global information technology to Protectthemselves and their bodies. This raises the question of how Muslim women negotiate Islamic teachings over the visibility of their bodies. Few studies have interrogated this question in the light of Islamic teachings; hence, the need for this study. This paper aims at a detailed examination of the public visibility of Muslim feminists in light of Sharīʿah rulings on the public visibility of male and female bodies. Laura Mulvey’s Hollywood Theory on entertainment spectatorship, as used in her “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” is adopted as the theoretical framework to engage the notions of the lustful male gaze and women’s erotic power of fitnah as prevalent in Islamic discourse. In addition, secondary data drawn from extant literature, interviews, and internet sources are used to interrogate the discourse of five purposefully selected Muslim feminists in the context of Sharīʿah rulings on the erotic power of women and their public visibility. The paper concludes that while Islamic teachings discourage the culture of public nudity by both males and females, the inequitable treatment of Muslim feminists regarding their public appearance is at variance with the above Sharīʿah rulings.
