Abstract

Arabic language education occupies a unique place in Nigeria, particularly in Lagos West Senatorial District, where cultural diversity and religious plurality shape educational choices. As a language with deep religious, cultural, and economic significance for Muslims, Arabic remains both a spiritual and practical asset. However, parents’ and students’ attitudes significantly influence its uptake in formal schooling. This study aims to investigate the perceptions, motivations, and barriers surrounding Arabic learning among junior secondary school students and their parents in Lagos West, with the broader goal of informing educational policy and planning. Adopting a descriptive survey design, the study combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. A stratified random sample of 150 junior secondary students was drawn from Education Districts 5 and 6, while parents were engaged through structured interviews. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire, analyzed with descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and mean ratings), and tested with inferential methods including t-tests and ANOVA at the 0.05 significance level. Findings indicate that students generally value Arabic for its role in religious development and career opportunities, while parental attitudes are more ambivalent, often influenced by competing educational priorities and varying perceptions of Arabic’s socio-economic relevance. The study concludes by highlighting the need for culturally sensitive policies and targeted awareness strategies to strengthen Arabic language education in Lagos West Senatorial District

Abstract

The 20th century marked an important phase in the development of hadith studies in the archipelago, especially in the face of the challenges of modernity and the current of renewal of Islamic thought. In the midst of these dynamics, KH. M. Hasyim Asy'ari appears as a central figure who plays a strategic role in strengthening the authority of hadith as a source of Islamic teachings. Through his monumental work Risalah Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah, Hasyim Asy'ari not only affirmed the position of hadith in the Islamic scientific system, but also offered a contextual methodological approach to the religious reality of Indonesian society at that time. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a content analysis method, which is focused on a systematic review of the content of the book Risalah Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah. The analysis is directed to identify the construction of Hasyim Asy'ari's thoughts on hadith, as well as to trace how his work contributes to the formation of the scientific tradition of hadith in Indonesia, especially in the pesantren environment. The results of the study show that Hasyim Asy'ari's hadith thinking is based on the spirit of maintaining the authority of sanad, purifying the creed from the influence of extreme thought, and strengthening the framework of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah as the epistemological basis for hadith studies in Indonesia. His moderate attitude, firm in faith, and adaptive to the Indonesian social context made his hadith thought a meeting point between classical heritage and the needs of the times. The work also forms the pattern of Islamic boarding school hadith study which is characterized by a balance between text and context, between sanad and the benefit of the ummah. Thus, it can be concluded that Hasyim Ash'ari's contribution to the study of hadith in the archipelago is not only theological, but also epistemological and methodological. His thinking provides a solid foundation for the development of hadith studies in Indonesia, as well as an important reference in responding to contemporary Islamic challenges. This study emphasizes the urgency of preserving and developing the intellectual heritage of local scholars such as Hasyim Asy'ari in formulating an authentic, contextual, and sustainable paradigm of Islamic science.
