Abstract

Social etiquette—including dining and hospitality etiquette—has almost disappeared in contemporary Yoruba society. This is because some Yoruba individuals have begun to imitate Western practices in everything. Behaviours that do not align with Islamic etiquette in dining and hospitality have become common, particularly among the youth, including young Muslims in Yoruba lands. In this society, those who attempt to adhere to these etiquettes are often considered as nonconformists and sometimes labelled as extremists. This paper, therefore, aims to study the application of dining and hospitality etiquette in the Yoruba community through the views of Ibn Fudi in his commentary entitled: “Diyā’u-t-Ta’wīl”. To achieve the aim of this study, the research employs an analytical method to clarify the etiquettes of dining and hospitality as explained by Ibn Fudi in his Tafsir. in relation to the contemporary Yoruba society. The findings of this study show that deviations from proper dining and hospitality etiquette are widespread in Yoruba land such as eating or drinking with the left hand or while walking, expecting the host to taste the food first before the guest eats and the refusal to dine with those of lower status, among other practices. These behaviours result has caused negative impacts on individuals and society, such as diminished affection, social fragmentation and wishing ill upon others. The solution lies in applying the dining and hospitality etiquettes as outlined in Ibn Fudi’s commentary. The study suggests that scholars in Yorubaland should link the social etiquettes found in Ibn Fudi’s Tafsīr to contemporary Yoruba society for societal improvement. They should also highlight the drawbacks of neglecting Islamic etiquettes, especially in dining and hospitality, and the benefits that their application brings to individuals and the community. Members of the community should also be committed to whatever will help them uphold these etiquettes.

Abstract

The position of Allāh on the Throne is a theological theme that an ample written have been made on it, due to its significance in Islām. It is regarded as part of the attributes of Allāh, hence, it directly and indirectly after the faith of a Muslim. However, various explanations have been given on the meaning of this term contextually and literally from different perspectives especially the various sects in Islam. Thus, the elucidation and view of Ibn Jarīr Aṭ-Ṭabarī on this as contained in his Tafsīr will go a long way in exposing the classical view on this since his Tafsīr served as source of information for many Tafsīr. Therefore, this paper aims at appraising his view along with other theologian views in Islām. The methods that adopted in this study are historical and analytical methods of research. Historical method has been used in accounting for the biography of Aṭ-Ṭabarī, while analytical method applied in elucidating the view of Aṭ-Ṭabarī and other theologian on the topic. The findings of this paper disclose that the exegetic corpus of Aṭ-Ṭabarī views Istiwā’ as among the unseen act that Muslim should believe in. The study concluded by encouraging more research through the verses of the Qur’ān to further theological discussion especially attributes of Allāh from the view of Aṭ-Ṭabarī for better understanding.

Abstract

Child custody cases have been attended to differently in term of jurisdiction within the frame of Islamic and Nigeria laws. Although like Sharīᶜah, Nigeria laws also emphasize the importance of the interest of the child, despite this, there are numerous dissimilarities that lie between the Islamic and Nigeria laws on the issue of child custody. Therefore, this paper aimed at analyzing the differences that are inherent in the two laws with a view to showcasing the similarities and dissimilarities. It also aimed to assess the Islamic principles governing child custody, including the factors considered in determining the most suitable guardian, the rights and responsibilities of the custodian, and the legal procedures involved. The paper adopted descriptive and analytical methods of research in carrying out the study. The descriptive method was used in explaining how child custody is being maintained under Islamic and Nigerian laws while analytical method was used to discuss the similarities and dissimilarities between the two laws. The paper revealed that the common similarity between them on child custody is in the area of interests of the child in choosing his custodian. It also found that Nigeria law always gives priority to father in most cases in Nigerian customary law except where the child has not reached the age of puberty. The paper concluded that the parents are custodians of their children and are responsible for them before Allah. Therefore, the paper recommended that couples should find possible means of avoiding separation and when it becomes necessary the interest of the children should be given priority.
