Abstract

Peace advocates, conflict analysts, security experts and academia have effortlessly analyzed and advanced various ways to contain the religious insurgency championed by the Boko Ḥarām movement which has threatened Nigeria's quest for peace for more than a decade despite the counter-insurgency measures of successive Nigerian governments. However, recent situations depict that the insurgency remains unabated. This paper examined Nigeria's turbulent decade of religious insurgency, its position within the Islamic context, and Islamically-inclined practicable solution to the threat. It used analytical research method based on existing secondary literature and primary Islamic law sources. The paper reveals that a turbulent decade of Boko Ḥarām insurgency has wreaked havoc on the peace and tranquility previously existing among Nigeria's diverse ethno-religious entities. The analysis of Quranic texts, aḥādīth and opinions of notable scholars also indicates that religious insurgency associated with Boko Ḥarām is inconsistent with Islamic doctrines. Tolerance among religionists, proper religious teachings and interpretation of divine scripture, genuine inter and intra-faith dialogues, Islamic leadership-cum-governance paradigms, among others, were the identified Islamic-modelled panacea to the insurgency. The paper concludes that if the identified Islamic model can be embraced and considered in the scheme of things by religious and political leaders, as well as their ardent followers, the current religious insurgency would be drastically curtailed, thereby advancing sustainable peace in Nigeria.

Abstract

The global response to the December 2019 outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, and its rapid spread to over 200 countries/territories has been intense, with governments, inter-governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, health and humanitarian agencies, medical experts, and religious institutions all paying close attention. Following the discovery of its index case on February 27, 2020 in Lagos state, Nigeria, various measures were implemented to contain the spread of the deadly virus, including full-cum-partial lockdown, quarantine, and ban on social and religious gatherings, closure of religious centers, among others. The implementation of these COVID-19 Guidelines/Protocols began on March 30, 2020, in the affected states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Religious leaders are thus recognized as key stakeholders in the implementation of these guidelines. Using qualitative and analytical research methods, this paper investigated how mosque leaders in Ijebu North-East responded to the implementation of COVID-19 Guidelines and the challenges encountered in the process. Findings revealed that during the total lockdown, prominent Imams at various central mosques in the local government suspended daily and Jumu‘at congregation prayers, Ramadan Tafsir al-Qur'an, Iftar, Tarawih and Tahajjud, and celebrations of ‘Eid-el-Fitri, ‘Eid-el-Adha and Mawlud-en-Nabiyy. During the de-escalation of the lockdown, the NCDC’s COVID-19 Guidelines on Re-Opening Places of Worship were strictly followed. Inadequate resources, misconceptions, and a sense of disbelief among some Muslims in the existence of COVID-19 are among the identified challenges. The study concludes by suggesting how mosque leaders can proactively assist governments in eradicating coronavirus and related diseases.
