Abstract

This paper investigates the teaching of Arabic studies in Nigerian universities, focusing on the challenges and factors contributing to the underrepresentation of female students and educators. Arabic holds significant religious, cultural, and historical value in Nigeria; however, female participation in the field remains limited. Through an in-depth exploration of societal, cultural, and institutional barriers, this study identifies major obstacles that discourage women from enrolling in and pursuing careers in Arabic studies. Key barriers include restrictive gender norms, minimal female faculty representation, and perceptions of limited career prospects, which collectively reinforce gender disparities in the field. The study also reviews current initiatives that promote gender equity in Arabic studies and proposes actionable strategies, such as curriculum reform, community outreach, and mentorship programs, to enhance female enrollment and retention. By addressing these socio-cultural and institutional challenges, the paper seeks to encourage policies and reforms that foster inclusivity, support female advancement, and improve the overall quality of Arabic education in Nigeria. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at achieving gender equity and strengthening the academic landscape of Arabic studies in Nigerian universities, thereby contributing to a more balanced and inclusive academic field.

Abstract

Communication is a fundamental aspect of human relations and interactions, encompassing both verbal and nonverbal elements. While much emphasis is placed on verbal communication, nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures often carry significant weight in conveying messages. The study of nonverbal communication has garnered attention across various disciplines, including psychology, sociology, and anthropology. However, the exploration of nonverbal communication through the lens of religious texts, particularly the Qur'an, remains relatively underexplored. This paper seeks to fill this gap by examining the teachings of Surah Luqman, a chapter in the Qur'an that offers profound wisdom on ethical conduct and human relationships. By integrating Islamic exegesis with psychological theories and contemporary research on nonverbal communication, this study aims to provide a holistic understanding of the role of body language and other nonverbal cues in fostering positive human relations.The analysis will focus on how nonverbal communication, as implied in the verses, influences human relations and the ethical principles that govern such interactions. The results of the study show that, in contemporary times, the relevance of these principles remains strong, as they provide a framework for addressing modern communication challenges. By adhering to the Islamic guidelines of honesty, respect, and empathy in communication, individuals can cultivate positive interpersonal relations that contribute to personal and communal well-being.

Abstract

The way in which people interact and address one another is crucial to expressing their social relationship; it encodes the relationship between interlocutors and reflects cultural values. Proper use of words in addressing a fellow or people strengthens peaceful coexistence among individuals and groups within and outside a given cultural setting. On the contrary, the unguarded use of words has been the primary cause of conflicts and disharmony around the world. The Holy Qur'an, as a divine revelation and guide from the Almighty, advocates good social relationships through speech and encourages respect for individual differences through words. At the same time, it warns against aggressive and unhealthy language. This present study examines the principles of communication and interaction contained in Surah Al-Hujraat (Qur’an, chapter 49) as a tool for a peaceful and harmonious relationship among individuals and groups. The study adopts the qualitative content analysis approach to analyze the chapter's extracted verses. The findings of the study reveal that the chapter provides some rudimental principles of interaction that promote the language of respect, and peaceful communication among individuals and groups in the society that enhance interpersonal relationships, regardless of race, color, rank, or tribe. Cara orang berinteraksi dan menyapa satu sama lain sangat penting untuk mengekspresikan hubungan sosial mereka; itu mengkodekan hubungan antara lawan bicara dan mencerminkan nilai-nilai budaya. Penggunaan kata-kata yang tepat dalam menyapa sesama atau orang lain memperkuat koeksistensi damai di antara individu dan kelompok di dalam dan di luar lingkungan budaya tertentu. Sebaliknya, penggunaan kata-kata yang tidak dijaga telah menjadi penyebab utama konflik dan ketidakharmonisan di seluruh dunia. Al-Qur'an Suci, sebagai wahyu ilahi dan panduan dari Yang Mahakuasa, menganjurkan hubungan sosial yang baik melalui ucapan dan mendorong penghormatan terhadap perbedaan individu melalui kata-kata. Pada saat yang sama, ia memperingatkan terhadap bahasa yang agresif dan tidak sehat. Kajian ini mendalami prinsip-prinsip komunikasi dan interaksi yang terkandung dalam Surah Al-Hujraat (Al-Qur'an, bab 49) sebagai alat untuk hubungan yang damai dan harmonis antara individu dan kelompok. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis isi kualitatif untuk menganalisis ayat-ayat yang disarikan dari bab tersebut. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa surah ini memberikan beberapa prinsip dasar interaksi yang mempromosikan bahasa hormat, dan komunikasi damai antara individu dan kelompok dalam masyarakat yang meningkatkan hubungan interpersonal, terlepas dari ras, warna kulit, pangkat, atau suku.
