A WOMAN’S DRESS: THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
(2013-01) Sulaiman Sheu Adua
Islam being a modest-religion teaches modesty and moderation in whatever a Muslim does. Hence, it teaches Muslims to dress modestly by covering almost all parts of their body. Every tribe or nation has its own distinctive culture with regard to their ways of dressing. These differences are due largely to the different climatic conditions, traditional heritage, professional ethics and social exposure of each tribe, nation and profession. For example, the Europeans would prefer to appear always in suit while the Arabs would opt for white Jalabiya and Mindil similarly, the Hausa’s and the Yoruba would gorgeously dress in big Agbada or Babariga with a cap to match, while the Ibos would put on Buba, tie wrapper to their waist and put hats on their heads with feathers as mark of honour, dignity and distinction. In a likewise manner, a banker will use tie, while medical doctor will use a white pull-over his dress. It is therefore, erroneous to describe the Arabs mode of dress as the only acceptable Islamic mode of dressing and those of other tribe un-Islamic. Precisely, there is no Islamic dress than what modestly cover the nakedness of a woman.

Al-Ākhirah (The Last Day)
(Introduction to the Islamic worldview: Study of selected essentials, 2009) Solihu, Abdul Kabir Hussain
This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of one of the major essentials of the Islamic worldview i.e., the concept of the last day. Belief in al-Ākhirah is a basic article of Islamic faith, along with belief in God, His angels His Books, and His Messengers, Divine Decree and Predestination. After the doctrine of tawḥīd and Revelation, al-Ākhirah is the most repeated theme with all vigour in the Qur'ān. All of the teachings of Islam would crumble if the afterlife or the eternal life were to be denied. It is therefore incomplete and indeed impossible to discuss the teachings of Islam without referring to the great significance that al-Ākhirah possesses, not only for man's final end but also for his life in this world. This chapter delineates the place of this belief and the purpose it serves in Islamic worldview.

AN ASSESSMENT OF THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE SPREAD OF ISLAM IN GHANA
(2015) Sulaiman Sheu Adua
The spread of Islam to Ghana cannot be discussed without due reference to the spread of the faith in what is now . known as West Africa. The people of West Africa had their first contact with Islam between seventeenth and eighteenth century and since then, the Muslims in the West Africa sub-region have been actively involved in establishing an Islamic country following the model of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The main channel of contact was through trade, particularly the gold transaction. In this paper, an attempt is made to discuss the factors influencing the spread of Islam in Ghana. Methodology relies solely on bibliographic appraisal of such studies that are related to this study. The paper begins with the introduction on the advent of Islam in Ghana. This is followed by the factors that led to the spread of Islam in Ghana, such as trade, Hajj patronage, Arabs and Arab Missions, Modern Arabic Schools and Non-Governmental Organisations. Others are youth and women organisations, as well as contact with Middle Eastern Organisations. The paper concludes by making recommendations on how Muslim should jointly intensify their efforts towards additional spread of Islam and Islamic scholarship in Ghana, while issues of non-indigene should not be a hindrance to the progress of Islam in the country
An Axiological Dimension of Qur’ānic Epistemology
(Ilorin Journal of Religious Studies, 2014) Solihu, Abdul Kabir Hussain
This study inquires into the value system associated with two epistemological conceptual schemes of the Qur’ān, namely, āyah (sign) and ḥikmah (wisdom). In many respects, the rapid accumulation of all types of knowledge and the progress in the predominantly secular science and technology of modern times have marginalised values from scientific inquiry, leading to intellectual crisis, epistemological confusion and social disorientation. Thus, there is a clarion call to revisit the place of values in epistemological discourse. In an attempt to broaden the human horizon, the Qur’ān propounds a unified system of knowledge and value whereby it draws attention to several natural phenomena seen as āyāt (signs) of Allah which should be explored through a ḥikmah-based framework of value judgment. Guided by axiological concern, this study examines the place of value in Qur’ānic epistemology.
An Evaluation of Business Transaction in Owode Market in the Light of Islamic Ethics
(Al-Asaalah International Journal, 2023) Bello, Khalid Ishola; Oseni, Kamaldeen G.
Business transactions are one of the activities in which people are interrelating; this involves Muslims with their Muslim brothers and sisters and of course Muslims with adherents of other faiths. Islam as a total way of life provides Muslims with rules and regulations which guide them in every sphere of life. Muslims are bound to transact business with one another and adherents of other faiths in the way and manners that are in compliance to the teaching of Islam. This paper tends to evaluate the business transactions in Owode market of Offa and compare them with the business ethics in Islam. To achieve this, consultation of library materials and field work were adopted as fact finding technique. However, the outcome of the research reveals that there are certain ethics that are adduced from the Qur’an and Sunnah as technically explained by the scholars of jurisprudence that are accepted by Islam. These are the principles that should be guiding Muslims in their dealings with Muslim brothers and sisters and the non-Muslims to avoid cheating and other commercial malpractices in the society; these principles were not strictly adhered to by some Muslim traders in Owode market.
An Insight into Al-Qaraḍāwī’s Approach to Methodology of Daʿwah
(Al-Itqān Journal of Islamic Sciences and Comparative Studies, 2023) Bello Khalid Ishola
One of the highest forms of service to Allah is to invite people to Islam. This includes to invite non-Muslims to Islam and to correct misappropriations among the Muslims through application of dacwah. Daʿwah as the primary responsibility of the Messenger of Allah and Ulama’ of every generation in Islamic history take it to high esteem. Each scholar explores means available and methods considered appropriate and convenient for him in carrying out daʿwah activities. Al-Qaraḍāwī is a controversial personality and a dacī of international repute who has made remarkable impact in Islamic history in the 21st century. This paper critically assesses Al-Qaraḍāwī’s methods of daʿwah. The study, given its nature, is library based with extensive literature review of his works as well as his lectures from audio-visual channels. The concept of moderation, reality and combination between traditionalism and reform are found to dominate his fatawā and publications.

Challenges of Female Participation in Tahfizu’l-Qur’ān: Ilorin as a Case Study
(Lafiya Journal of Arts, 2024) Hussain-Abubakar, Sherifat; Imam-Fulani, Hajarat
The practice of Qur’an memorization, initiated by Prophet Muhammad and his Companions, has been perpetuated by Muslims across generations to harness its numerous spiritual and intellectual benefits. Today, Qur’an memorization has evolved to include global competitions that test and celebrate proficiency among Muslims. Despite both genders participating, female memorizers remain significantly underrepresented. This paper investigates the specific challenges faced by female Qur’an memorizers in Ilorin, Nigeria. Using a descriptive and analytical approach, the study employs interviews and observations as primary data collection methods. Respondents were randomly selected from among female students, teachers, parents, and coordinators of Qur’an memorization centers in Ilorin. Findings reveal that societal misconceptions about female roles and rights in Islam, coupled with a lack of female-sensitive institutional support, greatly hinder female participation in Qur’an memorization. The study suggests that addressing these challenges requires providing both physical and psychological support to female students and restructuring Qur’an memorization centers to be more inclusive and supportive of female learners.
CHILD RIGHTS IN ISLAM: A CASE STUDY OF ILORIN EMIRATE
(2019) Abdullahi, A.G.; Sulaiman Sheu Adua
There is a pervasive anxiety all over the places that hoodlums, street urchins and cultists are set to of control over the space nationwide. Islam recognises the family as one of the most potent institutions that enhances the Islamic Ummah. Islam has comprehensive legal codes which address the issue of protection of children as well as responsibilities of the family, government and the ciety. The responsibilities are virtually synonymous from one arm to the other. It is important to note that Islam considers a child (newly born) to be pure, a state to maintain at his parents mercy. Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) saying: "The Prophet of Allah (SAW) said "Every child is born with pure and sinless nature. It is the parents that make him up a Christian or Jew... (Bukhari Vol. 2, Babu Ma gila fi Aolaad 1385). According to Ahmed (2011), children are deemed to have been born innocent and Muslims are urged to undertake measures to ensure that conflict and viciousness of adulthood does not contaminate them. Indeed, several rights have been identified as belonging to child in the context of the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Prophet (SAW).
