Abstract

This study examines the pivotal role of electronic media in enriching the teaching and learning of Islamic studies in Nigeria. Despite the growing importance of Islamic education, the adoption of electronic media in Islamic schools remains limited. This research investigates the role of electronic media in Islamic education in Nigeria, highlighting challenges, opportunities, and integration strategies. Utilizing a comprehensive review of literature and empirical data, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 120 Islamic studies teachers in Nigerian schools, selected through purposive random sampling. The findings highlight the potential of multimedia to enhance learning environments, encourage critical thinking, and overcome traditional educational barriers. The study emphasizes the need for improved teacher training and infrastructure to successfully adopt digital learning tools. It contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the context-specific challenges and opportunities of integrating electronic media in Islamic education. The findings have implications for policymakers, educators, and researchers seeking to enhance the quality of Islamic education in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationship between Shariah education and the formation of national identity within Nigerian universities. As a country marked by religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, Nigeria faces ongoing challenges in forging a cohesive national identity. The inclusion of Shariah-related courses in university curricula, particularly in institutions located in the predominantly Muslim northern region, raises critical questions about the role of religious legal education in a secular and pluralistic state. Using a multidisciplinary methodology that combines legal analysis, educational policy review, and qualitative interviews with students and faculty, this research investigates how Shariah education influences perceptions of citizenship, national belonging, and social cohesion. Findings suggest that while Shariah instruction can serve as a means of cultural affirmation and moral guidance, it also has the potential to either bridge or deepen national divides depending on how it is framed and integrated within broader academic and civic discourses. The paper concludes with recommendations for a more inclusive educational framework that respects religious diversity while reinforcing a shared national identity.
