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.
