Abstract

Peace and security have been central concerns of humanity throughout history. In contemporary times, instability and violence have become major global challenges, particularly in Nigeria, where conflicts and insecurity threaten national cohesion. This study explores the role of Islamic education in promoting peace, security, and national unity in Nigerian society. Given the increasing prevalence of violent attacks and socio-economic instability across the country, there is a growing need for effective solutions that address these challenges from their roots. Islamic education, with its emphasis on justice, morality, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence, offers a viable approach to fostering stability and social harmony. Using a qualitative methodology, this study employs a literature review and expert interviews to examine the relationship between Islamic education and peacebuilding. The findings indicate that when properly implemented, Islamic education can serve as a powerful tool for reducing violence, enhancing social cohesion, and strengthening national stability. The study underscores the need for integrating Islamic teachings on justice, discipline, and community engagement into educational policies and programs to address the root causes of insecurity. The study concludes that Islamic education, when effectively utilized, has the potential to promote peace and national cohesion in Nigeria. It recommends that policymakers, educators, and religious leaders collaborate to enhance the role of Islamic education in addressing the country’s security challenges. Additionally, efforts should be made to incorporate Islamic principles of peace, justice, and tolerance into the national educational framework to foster long-term societal stability.
