(Kampala International University (KIU)., 2024) Sanni Bello Ishola; Usman Adisa Issa; Ahmad Tijani Surajudeen; Muhammad Soliu Ibrahim
This study examined entrepreneurship education as a predictor of the economic development of undergraduate students of Islamic Studies. The research design employed in this study was correlational. The population of this study was all undergraduate students of Islamic Studies from all universities in Nigeria, while the target population was undergraduate students of Islamic Studies from all universities in the North Central Geopolitical Zone. The instrument used in this study was a researcher-developed questionnaire titled “entrepreneurship education and undergraduate students’ economic development”. The experts properly carried out the validity and reliability of the instrument, and a reliability index of 0.83 was recorded. Percentage was the descriptive statistical tool used to describe the demographic distribution of the respondents, while Point-Biserial Correlation was used to test all hypotheses formulated in the study. The findings of this study showed that the percentage of female undergraduate students of Islamic Studies engaging in entrepreneurship was higher than the percentage of male undergraduate students of Islamic Studies in the North Central Geopolitical Zone. Also, the findings of this study demonstrated that entrepreneurship education did not significantly predict undergraduate students' Islamic Studies’ economic development. It is therefore concluded in the study that entrepreneurship education does not predict the economic development of undergraduate students of Islamic Studies. It is recommended in the study that Undergraduate students of Islamic Studies in the North Central Geopolitical Zone should endeavour to harness the knowledge acquired to improve their economic standard.

(Kampala International University (KIU)., 2024) Sanni Bello Ishola; Usman Adisa Issa; Ayuba Olaniyi Jibril; Muhammad Soliu Ibrahim; Uthman Abdulwasii Ali
This study assessed the effect of climate change on the secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum implementation in Kwara State. This study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population for this study was all secondary school teachers in Kwara State. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted in the study. Out of 90 respondents proposed to use in the study, only 78 (70.2%) were available. An adapted questionnaire from Sergio et al. (2024) titled: Effects of Climate Change on Secondary School Islamic Studies Curriculum Implementation (ECCSSISCI) was used in this study. Descriptive statistical tools used in the study were percentage, mean and standard deviation, while the inferential statistical tool adopted was the t-test. The findings of this study revealed that the population of male teachers teaching Islamic Studies at secondary schools in Kwara State is higher than females. Similarly, the study showed that the effect of climate change on secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum implementation in Kwara State is moderate, with an average mean score of 2.64. Furthermore, the study indicated that there is a significant difference in the effect of climate change on secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum implementation in Kwara State based on gender and school location. The study, therefore, concluded that climate change generates certain circumstances that affect the proper implementation of the secondary school Islamic Studies curriculum in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study recommended that the Teaching Service Commission in the state should train Islamic Studies teachers on how to manage every circumstance, including climate change.

Roman transliteration of Arabic script in Unicode: A project report
(1st International Symposium on Arabic and Computational Linguistics, 2007-11) Solihu, Abdul Kabir Hussain
There have been several projects to provide transliteration algorithms, most of which, however, are machine-based transliteration of Arabic names into English which are designed mainly for cataloging and information retrieval purposes. Such works, generally, do not cover all Arabic words and are not available for individual users. This paper reports on a completed project on a transliteration algorithm entitled “Roman Transliteration of Arabic Script: A Transliteration Kit” (ROTAS) submitted to the International Islamic University Malaysia in December 2006. ROTAS is utility software, designed mainly for academic purposes, that lets a writer/researcher automatically or manually transliterate texts from Arabic script into Roman script, using the writing-based model of the Arabic orthography. It also enables one to convert texts from many of the early transliteration fonts into a set of Unicode compliant fonts included in its package. This paper describes the design and implementation of the software and the modules we employed in the research project.

IBN TAYMIYYA’S VISION ON PUBLIC INTEREST AND SOCIETAL PROSPERITY WITHIN ISLAMIC LAW
(Ulul Albab: Jurnal Studi Islam, 2024) Jalili, Ismail; Syaifuddin, Helmi; Ulfa, Fadillah; Sa'diah, Halimatus; Solihu, Abdul Kabir Hussain
This article examines Ibn Taymiyya's vision of governance, spotlighting the concepts of public interest (mas{lahah) and prosperity (falâh) within the Islamic law (sharî’a) framework. The increasing importance of Islamic governance in contemporary political discussions, particularly in Muslim-majority societies striving to harmonize tradition with modernity, underscores the relevance of this inquiry. The primary aim is to synthesize existing scholarship on Ibn Taymiyya's contributions to statecraft and its ethical dimensions, elucidating how his principles can guide contemporary governance. The literature reveals a diverse yet fragmented landscape, encompassing historical analysis, theological discourse, and socio-political critiques, reflecting a burgeoning interest in the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and governance models. This study employs qualitative analysis of both primary texts and contemporary interpretations, creating a nuanced overview of Ibn Taymiyya's political thought. The results indicate that he champions a governance model that prioritizes community welfare, grounded in ethical accountability and justice. His vision emphasizes the alignment of state policies with principles of justice and public interest, asserting that adherence to Islamic values is essential for achieving prosperity. In conclusion, this study contends that Ibn Taymiyya’s insights are relevant and crucial for modern statecraft, providing a robust framework for embedding ethical considerations into governance.
