Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of begging with a particular focus on Shariah Requirements Versus Contemporary Economics Realities: Influx of Muslim Beggars in Sabon-Zongo Accra. Overall, the study contributes towards filling the enormous gap in the literature on begging in Muslim communities in Ghana and adds other dimensions to the phenomenon of both child and adult begging in general demonstrating the complexity and different facades of the phenomenon. The methodology employed was qualitative, whilst structured interview as a method was used in gathering the necessary information needed for this article. In discussing the findings, the article analyses how this practice works and seeks to gain insight into the interrelationships of the children with their adult partners both at the family levels and at the street level as well as the implications of these interrelationships on the level of agency and vulnerability of the children involved. More importantly, the article highlights the experiences and voices of beggars by looking at the economic realities and the role Islam plays alleviating the plights of beggars. It also highlights the processes that lead to the manifestation of the phenomenon as we see it; that is, why are children used as partners and not adults, and how that is influenced and shaped by power relations and the society’s understanding of what is right and wrong for the child.

Abstract

Although Islam allows the parents to make arrangements for their children, especially for marriage, it never stipulated laws ignoring their consent. This is, however, the case in Akim Oda, where women are forced into marriages in the name of Islam without their consent. The situation is worrying, and women, especially female Muslim youths who are forced into marriages, continue to be disadvantaged in terms of education and training. This research work, therefore, investigates the reasons for such happenings and compares it with Islam’s view on marriage within the context of forced marriage as practiced in Akim Oda. In this regard, the qualitative research method was employed. The primary data collection method included interviews with fifteen (15) respondents, including Chiefs, Imams, religious leaders, opinion leaders, parents, and female Muslim youths. Findings from the field indicate that forced marriages, in most cases within the study area, were to the benefit of the family and not to the female Muslim youths. It was also observed from the findings that parents and relatives collect monies for their daughters who ended up dropping out of school for marriages they are unprepared for.

Abstract

The term ‘dialogue of life’ is usually used to display the phenomenon of living together of people of different religious persuasions, carrying out daily life interactions among themselves. Although coexistence of Ghanaians of multi-religious society had begun long before pre-independence when they frequently met and shared activities together, we fail to recognize that this kind of social interaction is part of the interreligious dialogue operating at the grass roots level. This is especially so when it comes to Christian-Muslim intermarriages. In Ghana, it is always a thorny issue among religious leaders when it comes to approving marriages between Muslims and Christians. Both religious groups are opposed to giving their approval and blessings to Christian-Muslim marriages. The crux of their opposition centre son differences in belief. Scholars appear to have failed to realize that this increasing occurrence of intermarriages within and across boundaries is an impact of globalization frequently overlooked.

Abstract

Most Muslims, including even Africans who accepted the faith, seem to have cultivated the same attitude of mind that African Indigenous Religions are not monotheistic in any form. Non-Muslim Africans, who have kept to their indigenous heritage, are seen as bereft of any abiding values; they have no culture because any culture other than Islam is no culture. Therefore, all Africans who wanted to become Muslims were often prevailed upon to shed their traditional culture and take on the Islamic culture. In some communities in Northern Ghana, Muslims are looked upon and described as “white” contrasted with non-Muslim indigenes who are labeled “black”. The colours here refer to knowledge and lack of knowledge. It is for this reason that this paper takes up the issue to see whether the indigenous religions of Africa, like Islam, are not God friendly and whether, like Muslims also, the knowledge of God, as held by Africans, do have implications for believers. The essay intends to look at the concept of God in both Islam and African Traditional Religions and go on to examine some implications of this belief on individual believers of these two faiths.

Abstract

In the early days of Islam, a mosque was more than just a place of spiritual solace. It also served as an educational and community service Centre. Community affairs were deliberated upon in the sublime tranquility of the mosque. This is in line with the mosque being a multi-functional institution and its centrality as a prime agency to facilitate the creation of an excellent mosque community. In most Muslim communities in Ghana, it is not clear who are tasked with the responsibility of managing and maintaining the mosque. In some communities, it is the Imam. In others, it is manned by volunteers. In most urban communities in Ghana, it is the Mosque Management Committee which is tasked to manage the affairs of the mosque. Within this committee, there is no stipulated qualification for membership. This makes it difficult, if not impossible for them to deliver to expectation. The interesting thing is that this committee is not accountable to the congregation since there is lack of transparency in their operations. Therefore, in an increasingly challenging external environment, with an ever-demanding community, the need to know how mosques are managed and how they serve as community centers to maintain high standards of Muslim activities is as great as ever; hence the need for this paper.
