    hariah-Compliant Ethics And Their Impact On Academic Integrity In Higher Education
    (SLAMIC UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES VOL 4, NO 3, 2025-07) Dr. Muhammad Jumat Dasuki
    This paper examines the role of Sharīʿah-compliant ethics in promoting academic integrity within higher education, particularly in Islamic universities. With increasing concerns over academic misconduct, including plagiarism, cheating, and data falsification, the study aims to address the gap in academic integrity by integrating Islamic ethical principles such as trustworthiness (amānah), accountability (ḥisbah), and justice (ʿadl). The methodology employed includes a literature review of recent case studies from Islamic universities in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria, as well as a comparative analysis of academic integrity frameworks in Western and Islamic contexts. The study highlights key challenges in the implementation of Sharīʿah-compliant ethics, such as a lack of awareness among students and faculty, weak enforcement of integrity policies, and the influence of Western academic models, which often neglect Islamic ethical frameworks. Based on these findings, the paper recommends several strategies to strengthen academic integrity, including the integration of Sharīʿah-based integrity courses into curricula, the establishment of ḥisbah accountability committees, and the adaptation of institutional policies to incorporate Islamic ethical values. The study concludes that adopting Sharīʿah-compliant ethics in higher education can foster a culture of trust and responsibility, promoting ethical scholarship and academic excellence. Future research is encouraged to investigate the long-term impact of these ethical frameworks on academic success and the role of Islamic scholars in shaping university policies.

    STUDY OF MISUSE OF SELECTED CHAPTERS OF THE QUR'ĀN AMONG THE YORUBA MUSLIMS
    (At-Turath: Journal of Islamic Heritage and Civilisation, 2025-12) Ambali Tajudeen Imam; Dr. Muhammad Jumat Dasuki
    The Qur'an, as the revealed word of Allah and the foundation of Islamic belief and practice, serves as a comprehensive guide for both spiritual and worldly affairs. Because any alteration to it directly threatens the integrity of Islam, its preservation has always been regarded as a sacred responsibility. From the Prophet's era to the present day, Muslims have consistently devoted themselves to safeguarding the Qur'an from corruption or distortion, and this collective vigilance explains why the text remains unchanged. Building on this legacy of protection, the paper investigates certain practices among Yoruba Muslims that may unintentionally distort the Qur'an and, therefore, constitute a form of abuse and misuse. Focusing on three chapters—Al-Mulk, Al-Waqi'ah, and AlKahf—the study examines unconventional methods of writing and reciting the Qur'an introduced by some Yoruba Mallams. The findings show that these practices are unfamiliar to mainstream Islamic scholarship and pose risks to the accurate transmission of the Qur'anic text. If such practices continue, they may eventually influence how future generations understand the Qur'an. The study identifies Jalabi practitioners and certain Sufi groups as the major contributors to these distortions and urges Muslims to avoid any actions that may compromise the purity and authenticity of the Qur'an.
