HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIGNITY IN ISLAM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF NIGERIA'S SHARI'AH COURTS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
(AT-TURATH, 2025) Dr. Muhammed Jum'at Dasuki; Saad Jamiu Abdulazeez
Incorporation of Shari'ah law into Nigeria's legal framework has sparked concerns regarding human rights and dignity, particularly in relation to economic development. This study explores the intersection of Shari'ah law, human rights, and economic progress in Nigeria. While Shari'ah law has the potential to foster economic development, its implementation in Nigeria raises concerns about the possible infringement of human rights and dignity, especially for vulnerable groups. Adopting a qualitative research approach, this study integrates desk research, case studies, and expert interviews to assess the inﬂuence of Shari'ah courts on human rights and economic development in Nigeria. The study advocates for Shari'ah courts in Nigeria to uphold human rights and dignity, particularly in the context of economic development. Furthermore, it calls for enhanced transparency, accountability, and fairness in the procedures and practices of Shari'ah courts. The study concludes that, while Shari'ah law can serve as a valuable instrument for advancing economic development and human rights in Nigeria, its implementation must be carefully regulated to safeguard human dignity.
