Abstract

Owing to gender imbalances and the patriarchal system, females in Pakistan are considered minorities in the political process. The quota system has increased female representation in the parliament. Nonetheless, it is imperative to implement effective strategies and policies to empower women and to improve their engagement in Pakistani politics. The main objective of this study was to explore the major challenges and prospects of female participation in politics in Pakistan. Additionally, this study investigates the obstacles and opportunities for female participation in leadership. A qualitative research method was adopted in this study, relying on a desk-study approach and utilizing various secondary sources such as articles, research papers, government reports, and official websites. The main findings of the study indicate that economic dependency, lack of education and literacy, gender segregation, male domination, traditional beliefs, financial issues, limited awareness of political rights, political parties, social and cultural norms, and religious interpretation are the major challenges faced by women in Pakistan when it comes to participating in the democratic process and governance system. Furthermore, the underrepresentation of women in politics reflects complex and mutually reinforcing social dynamics, highlighting the need for concerted and collaborative actions and measures to address these challenges. In conclusion, women's participation will lead to improved decision-making concerning gender-based laws and regulations in various sectors, including education, health, the workplace, and society.

Abstract

Nigeria is a developing nation with a population of over 200 million. Of this aggregate, approximately 106 million are aged 18 years and above. Of this adult population, 70 million live in rural areas, and many do not have adequate access to relevant financial products and services. The proportion of individuals and firms that use or have access to financial services can be referred to as financially inclusive. This study analyzes the impact of financial inclusion and domestic investment on Nigeria’s financial development. Multiple regression analysis was employed in this study which spanned over the period, 1982-2021. The empirical results reveal that financial inclusion and domestic investment have positive impacts on financial development; however, domestic investment has a more significant impact to a larger extent. The study recommended that policies should be directed towards creating a more inclusive financial system to improve the current level of financial inclusion to achieve better financial development in Nigeria. This study concludes that governments should formulate policies that boost financial inclusion and investment to deepen the level of financial development in the economy.

Abstract

Media technologies have been considered freeing and empowering since the twentieth century, as they aid in enhancing human capacity. In the media and communication industries, technologies have aided human manipulation of mechanical and electronic processes. Arguably, social interactions were improved by extending audience reach, broadening coverage, changing time and location constraints, and bridging important gaps in information. In this context, this study used in-depth interviews as the research method, and thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data gathered based on the themes that emerged during the interviews. The population of the study consisted of 106 staff in the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Kano, and a purposive sampling technique was used to select 15 participants for the study. This study is premised on the Domestication and Technological Determinism Theories. The findings of the study revealed that quality information dissemination, good visualization, easy access to information, and quick spread of information to the target audience are among the factors responsible for the adoption of information technology in NTA Kano. The study concludes that there is a need for an increasing level of information technology, especially NTA Kano, to enhance adequate information dissemination. There is also a need to address financial difficulties, lack of constant training and retraining of staff, poor state of equipment or lack of maintenance, and lack of adequate funding to ensure the proper and smooth running of modern technologies in NTA Kano.

Abstract

This article explores the role of religions in fostering an ethos of respect for diversity and cultivating the ethics of constructive disagreement. Recognizing that diversity is an inherent trait of human existence, this study highlights the necessity of transcending conflict and cultivating harmony through a moral framework derived from religious principles. Using key religious texts and examples, the paper analyzes the doctrines and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, demonstrating their contributions to peacebuilding and intercultural understanding. Hinduism and Buddhism emphasize values of self-realization, meditation, and universal love, fostering the ability to transcend individual differences. Judaism advocates ethical principles, such as justice and integrity, while distinguishing between religious teachings and political ideologies. Christianity, particularly through its message of love and forgiveness, offers a model for reconciliation with one’s adversaries. Islam’s foundational principles, including equality, tolerance, and respect for freedom of belief, provide a legal and moral framework for coexistence and dialogue, epitomized by the Prophet Muhammad’s ethical treatment of diverse communities. Through these religious paradigms, the study addresses the challenges of ideological extremism, historical grievances, and structural inequalities that hinder peaceful coexistence. It proposes practical strategies for embedding the ethics of disagreement within educational, legal, and social institutions. The findings underline the urgency of interfaith collaboration and the application of shared values to overcome global crises of conflict and division, advocating for a collective moral responsibility that transcends cultural and theological boundaries. This discourse reaffirms the enduring relevance of religions in shaping a harmonious global society.

Abstract

The Nigerian public service is crucial to the country’s economic development. This is because a vibrant public service sector is able to harness effectively overhead taxes and also account for public expenditure at all levels. In this study, we qualitatively analyse the response of 15 individuals from the public who have visited a typical public office at least 3 times within the last one year. An interview form containing 7 items was administered, and the results was analyzed from themes that give true picture of the perception of respondents. It was observed that workers in public service are not professional enough, taking their jobs with levity. The level of unprofessionalism in the public workforce calls for urgent attention as the study finds. Public service workers make up the larger part of the workforce of the nation, and as such they represent the face of the nation to the committee of nations. Government at all levels, that is the federal, the state, and the local council level as well as the various government agencies, departments, and ministries are called upon to cooperate and synergize in order to foster rapid transformation in public service. As a result, this study recommends publics service reforms.

Abstract

This study examined the Nollywood offering and Nigerian people and cultures, with a focus on reflections and projection. The study employed interviews and questionnaires as data collection tools. The study adopted reflective-projective theory and cultivation theory as its theoretical framework to guide the study. A sample of 400 residents of Port Harcourt City was employed using a cluster sampling technique. This study found that Nollywood films project social realities and issues in contemporary Nigerian society, and they take their coloration from Nigerian society. Most Nigerians have easy access to home movies and watch them mostly for entertainment purposes while being entertained, getting educated, or enlightened on certain things in society, such as culture, and end up being influenced in some areas of their lives. Nollywood films have a serious influence on the way audiences perceive social reality. Furthermore, the study also found that Nollywood films enable viewers to become familiar with Nigerian culture. Thus, the study concluded that Nollywood movies are avenues for the transmission of cultural heritage from generation to generation, with several appeals to their audience.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of various methods for moral education among intellectually disabled students at SLB Rela Bhakti I Gamping Sleman, a special education school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study aims to evaluate specific teaching methods and their impact on students' moral and social development. A qualitative research design was employed, using observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and document analysis to gather data. Nine teaching methods were identified and analyzed: lectures, role modeling, habituation, demonstrations, direct practice, thematic learning, group discussions, field trips, and peer learning. These methods were examined for their adaptability and effectiveness in addressing the unique challenges faced by intellectually disabled students. The findings reveal significant improvements in students' social behaviors, empathy, and moral decision-making. Methods such as role modeling and habituation were particularly effective in reinforcing positive behaviors, while thematic learning and field trips provided practical applications of moral concepts. Despite these successes, challenges such as resource limitations, diverse student needs, and inconsistent parental involvement were identified as barriers to implementation. This study contributes to the growing field of inclusive education by offering actionable insights into the integration of moral education for intellectually disabled students. The findings underscore the importance of collaborative efforts among educators, families, and policymakers to create supportive learning environments. Future research should explore long-term impacts and the potential of emerging technologies to enhance engagement and accessibility in moral education.

Abstract

Sharia-compliant investments are gaining traction among younger generations, particularly in Indonesia, where Generation Z represents a significant demographic with growing interest in ethical financial products. This study aims to explore the factors influencing Behavioral Intention to invest in Sharia-compliant stocks by integrating Islamic economic knowledge and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) constructs, including Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing a structured survey distributed to 100 respondents in Surakarta, Indonesia. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationships between independent variables and Behavioral Intention. Supporting assumption tests, such as normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity, confirmed the validity and reliability of the regression model. The results revealed that Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions significantly and positively influence Behavioral Intention. However, Islamic economic knowledge did not exhibit a statistically significant effect, indicating that practical and social factors outweigh theoretical understanding in driving investment decisions. The model explained 49.3% of the variance in Behavioral Intention, highlighting the importance of usability, perceived benefits, and social dynamics in shaping Generation Z’s preferences. These findings underscore the need for targeted strategies that emphasize user-friendly platforms, ethical value alignment, and community-driven promotion to enhance participation in Sharia-compliant investments. By addressing these factors, financial institutions and policymakers can foster financial inclusivity and promote sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted religious practices worldwide, posing significant challenges to maintaining communal worship while adhering to public health mandates. This study examines the fatwa issued by Wahdah Islamiyah, an Indonesian Islamic organization, which permitted the replacement of Friday prayers with Zuhr prayers at home during the pandemic. The fatwa demonstrates the adaptability of Islamic jurisprudence, leveraging progressive ijtihad to address unprecedented challenges. The study aims to explore the theological, jurisprudential, and methodological underpinnings of the fatwa, highlighting its alignment with maqasid shari’ah (objectives of Islamic law) and its implications for contemporary Islamic thought.  Using a qualitative approach, the research analyzes primary and secondary sources, including Quranic verses, Prophetic traditions, fiqh principles, and public health data. A multidimensional framework was employed to assess the integration of theological reasoning with interdisciplinary insights.  The findings reveal that Wahdah Islamiyah’s fatwa successfully balances religious obligations with public welfare by prioritizing harm prevention and public health. Grounded in classical jurisprudence, the fatwa reflects a dynamic application of Islamic law that incorporates sociological and scientific perspectives. It highlights the potential of smaller Islamic organizations to contribute to adaptive jurisprudence and demonstrates the relevance of progressive ijtihad in addressing global crises.  This study contributes to the discourse on contemporary Islamic jurisprudence, offering a model for integrating traditional principles with modern realities. It underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in crafting legal frameworks that respond to evolving societal challenges while preserving the integrity of Islamic law.
