Abstract

As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, innovative financing mechanisms to support mitigation efforts have become increasingly urgent. This study investigates the potential role of waqf an Islamic endowment system in addressing climate change challenges in Northern Nigeria, a region that faces a number of environmental and climate challenges particularly in terms of environmental degradation and climatic variability. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, including waqf administrators, community leaders, and environmental activists, alongside quantitative analysis of existing waqf funds and projects related to climate adaptation. Findings reveal that waqf funds can be effectively leveraged to support various climate change mitigation initiatives, such as afforestation, water conservation, and renewable energy projects. The study highlights several successful case studies where waqf-supported activities have enhanced local resilience and contributed to sustainable resource management. Furthermore, it identifies significant barriers to the implementation of environmentally focused waqf initiatives, including lack of awareness, inadequate regulatory frameworks, and limited community engagement. The paper proposes actionable recommendations to optimize the role of waqf in climate change mitigation, including enhancing legal structures to support environmental waqf, fostering collaboration between waqf institutions and environmental NGOs, and implementing educational campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable practices within waqf management. Ultimately, this study advocates for a paradigm shift in the perception of waqf from a purely charitable endeavor to a comprehensive instrument for sustainability and climate resilience, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on integrating indigenous financial mechanisms into global climate change strategies.

Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of Islamic mediation as-Sulh as a mechanism for settling marital disputes among Muslim couples in Northeastern Nigeria. Islamic mediation as-Sulh is a branch of Islamic law that arbitrates and settles disputes between parties without using a formal court process. In Muslim communities all around north-eastern Nigeria, an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedure is regarded as a peaceful and less expensive choice for resolving marital conflicts. This study employs a qualitative research methodology based on a review of the literature and interviews with professionals in Islamic law, mediation, and conflict resolution. The data gathered from the interviews is analyzed using content analysis methods. The findings of the study show that Islamic mediation as-Sulh is an effective mechanism for settling marital disputes among Muslim couples in Northeastern Nigeria. The study's findings imply that Muslim couples in Northeastern Nigeria should use Islamic mediation as-Sulh more frequently as a successful and culturally suitable method of resolving marital conflicts. The study also highlights the importance of further research on this topic in order to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of this form of Alternate Dispute Resolution.

Abstract

This paper aim to examine how Islamic Da'awah, has changed in the digital era with an emphasis on social media's revolutionary impact and the incorporation of Waqf, institutions to aid in these endeavors. The advent of social media platforms has brought about tremendous changes to Islamic Da'awah, since they have made it easier for Islamic teachings to be widely disseminated and have encouraged global communication and interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims. Islamic scholars, preachers, and individuals have been able to dispel misconceptions about Islam and impart religious information by using easily accessible platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. This paper uses a qualitative research approach to examine how Islamic da'awah has changed in the era of social media and how Waqf institutions assist. It does this by combining case studies, literature reviews, and content analysis. The findings of the research revealed that digital media has a significant role in forming modern Muslim identity, expanding its benefits to reach national and international community, advancement of da’awah activities and posing certain risks, such as the possibility of radicalization and disinformation. The study concludes that working together with academics, content producers, and Waqf organizations will be essential to making sure that Da'awah in the digital age is based on Islamic teachings and makes the most of contemporary technology.

Abstract

Human greed, carelessness, and a lack of moral concern for other living things have undermined the vital connection that exists between humans and the environment. Pollution, deforestation, and careless garbage disposal are just a few examples of how far society has strayed from its moral obligation to protect the environment. The goal of this study is to investigate how moral and ethical principles can be applied to rectify environmentally harmful human attitudes. The study's primary goal is to advance environmental ethics as a means of resurrecting human empathy and accountability for all living things. Using a qualitative approach, books, journal articles, passages from the Qur'an, and prophetic traditions emphasizing moral behaviour and earth stewardship were reviewed. Results show that environmental degradation is not just a physical problem but also a moral one brought on by ignorance, greed, and a lack of empathy. According to the study, people are more inclined to preserve and defend the environment when they see it through the prism of humanity and divine trust. Therefore, the work suggests that public awareness campaigns be used to support the inclusion of environmental ethics in moral and religious education at all levels. It suggests that people, educators, and religious organizations collaborate to create a culture of environmental responsibility and compassion for all living things, concluding that true humanity is reflected in genuine care for the environment.
