Abstract

It has been unanimously agreed by the researchers that one of the direct causes of inter-religious violence between the Christians and Muslims in Nigeria is reckless religious preaching that attack the creed of other religion and its followers. Such preaching often arouses provocation, annoyance and infuriation from the other side. The fact that both Islam and Christianity are religions of strong proselytization, enjoined their followers to invite other people into their folds. Both Islam and Christianity consider the task of inviting others into their fold as noble work and obligatory duty upon their respective followers. The aim of this paper is to analyze the negative role of provocative preaching in causing inter-religious tension between the Muslims and Christians in the country and showcase the efficacy of employing the Da’awah bi al-Hikmah (as enshrined in the Qur’an and Sunnah) in averting preaching related violence in the future. The research adopted analytical method where primary and secondary data from the Qur’an, hadith, academic books, journal articles, conference papers, dissertations, online sources etc were collected and analyzed. The paper discovered that some of the inter-religious violence such as that of Kafancan in 1987 and Maitatsine riot in 1980s were triggered by the reckless preaching of some fundamentalist preachers. The paper also demonstrated the prospective capacity of Da’awah bi al-Hikmah in deterring the preaching related violence in the country. The paper recommended for regulation, screening, training and certification of both preachers and the contents of the preaching in the country.

Abstract

Islam views peace and harmony as basic tools for the achievement of any developmental goals be it mundane or spiritual and, conversely, sees chaos as an enemy to progress. Hence, it condemned crises in stronger terms and encouraged peaceful coexistence. As such, peaceful co-existence was one of the top priorities of Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him (PBUH) before he becomes a Prophet, during the early period of his call in Makkah and throughout his life in Madinah. As such, one of the major factors that led to the achievement of sustainable development in the fields of economy, education, governance, environment and social welfare in the nascent state of Madinah was the peaceful co-existence among diverse religious followers and tribes under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The Muslim-dominated region of Northern Nigeria has been and is still experiencing a series of ethno-religious conflicts and bitterest relations between Christians and Muslims. This resulted in mass destruction of lives and properties, hatred, mistrust, lack of cooperation and recurrence conflicts between the two faithful with adverse repercussions of insecurity, underdevelopment and stagnation in the fields of economy, education, and social life. This paper is an attempt to showcase the indispensability of peaceful co-existence to the actualization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Northern Nigeria, taking the lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad PBUH as a model. The researcher used analytical method by using secondary data in conducting the research. The findings of the paper revealed the necessity of peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians, and among the diverse ethnic groups for the attainment of SDGs in the region. It, therefore, recommends the application of Prophet Muhammad’s PBUH proactive measures of promoting peaceful coexistence for the restoration of peace and harmony in the region.
