The Islamic Ethics of ’Insāniyyah: Reimagining Humanism, Brotherhood, and Justice in Contemporary Times
type: item
description: This paper explores the Islamic ethic of ’Insāniyyah (humanism) by examining its foundational principles in the Qur’ān and Sunnah, particularly in relation to human dignity, universal brotherhood, and moral justice. Drawing upon classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship, it argues that humanism in Islam is not a product of secular evolution or philosophical abstraction, but a divinely inspired framework embedded in revelation. The study adopts a descriptive and analytical approach grounded in textual analysis and library research, highlighting the limitations of secular humanism in addressing the spiritual, ethical, and communal needs of modern societies. In contrast, the Islamic worldview presents a holistic conception of the human person, one that integrates moral agency, divine accountability, and the shared origin of humanity. The paper contends that a rediscovery of ’Insāniyyah, as envisioned in Islamic thought, offers valuable guidance for fostering peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and global justice in an increasingly fragmented world. It concludes that Islamic humanism, if authentically understood and practically applied, holds enduring potential to restore the sanctity of human life and promote an inclusive moral order.

The Islamic Concept, “Umma” In International Relations: A Contrast With The Western Conventional Idea Of "Universalism"
type: item
description: International Relations (IR) as a field of academic inquiry, although burgeoning, finds its origins and dominant theories steeped largely in Western traditions. This inherent bias significantly hampers its ability to fully grasp, elucidate, and anticipate the dynamics within the non-Western spheres. Amidst the burgeoning efforts to delve into non-Western IR perspectives and thereby enrich the discipline's knowledge base, the Islamic viewpoint, particularly the notion of "Ummah," offers a refreshingly different lens. This concept illuminates a form of global solidarity that starkly contrasts with the prevailing Western notion of "universalism." However, this is driven by the curiosity to understand the conspicuous absence of modern Islamic theories in IR, probing into factors attributable both to the Muslim community and to the prevailing global system underscored by Western dominance. This paper examines the role and interpretation of IR within the Islamic tradition, the influence and place of Islam within the contemporary IR landscape. It also tries to evaluate the potential of Islam to serve as either a comprehensive theory or a paradigm within IR scholarship. It concludes that a nascent model alongside two distinct trajectories—traditional and revolutionary remains valid. These proposed paths endeavours to overcome the current limitations and pave the way for a more inclusive and diverse interpretation of International Relations in the future.

Interfaith Relations and Human Development in Southwest Nigeria: An Islamic Perspective
type: item
description: Southwest Nigeria is known for its peaceful accommodation of people from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. By the 19th and 20th centuries, interfaith relations were, to a considerable extent, cordial among Muslims, Christians, and practitioners of Traditional Religion. This harmony contributed meaningfully to human development in the region. However, in recent times, the situation has changed due to the influence of religious fundamentalism, particularism, exclusivism, and politics, which have, in some instances, strained the relationship, particularly between Muslims and Christians. Despite efforts by faith-based groups and government agencies to promote harmony through interfaith dialogue and peace initiatives, the emergence of Islamic fundamentalism/Salafism and Christian evangelism/Pentecostalism has led to increasing tension in Muslim-Christian relations. Islamic teachings permit Muslims to engage peacefully with non-Muslims, especially Jews and Christians, in worldly matters. This paper, therefore, examines Islam’s attitude towards people of other faiths and, from a historical perspective, explores the interreligious interactions that have existed among Muslims and adherents of other religions in Southwest Nigeria. It further analyses how interfaith-based organizations can contribute to human development, particularly in education, healthcare, and the economy. The paper concludes that the absence of harmonious interfaith relations may have a negative impact on human development in the Southwestern states of Nigeria.

Imam Muslim’s methodology in developing hadith mastery
type: item
description: تتناول هذه الدراسة منهج الإمام مسلم بن الحجاج في بناء الملكة الحديثية لدى الباحثين، من خلال تحليل سيرته، ورحلاته العلمية، وأسلوبه المنهجي في جمع وتنظيم الأحاديث في صحيحه، مع إبراز الأثر التربوي والتعليمي لهذا المنهج في تكوين الباحث الحديثي المعاصر. ركزت الدراسة على تحليل الاستراتيجيات المنهجية التي اتبعها مسلم، مثل: جمع الطرق المتعددة للحديث الواحد وترتيبها ترتيباً هرمياً يبدأ بالأصح، وطريقة عرض الاختلافات في الألفاظ والسياقات بين الروايات، وأسلوب التكرار المدروس للأحاديث تحت أبواب مختلفة لتوضيح دلالاتها المتعددة. وتبحث كيف أن هذا البناء المحكم ليس غاية في ذاته، بل هو وسيلة متقنة لتدريب ذهن الباحث على مهارات أساسية، أبرزها: مقارنة الروايات، وتتبع علل الحديث الخفية والظاهرة، ووزن رواة السند بعضهم ببعض، وفهم أثر السياق على دلالة المتن. كشفت هذه الورقة البحثية عن الأبعاد التربوية والتعليمية الكامنة في منهج الإمام مسلم بن الحجاج في تنظيم مادة صحيحه وعرضه للأحاديث وطرقها الروائية. ولا تقتصر الدراسة على الوصف الشكلي لهذا التنظيم، بل تتعداه إلى تحليل مقصدي يُبرز كيف جعل الإمام من كتابه مدرسة عملية لتربية الملكة الحديثية النقدية لدى الباحث والمتعلم. وختاماً، تقدم هذه الدراسة رؤية تربوية جديدة لقراءة الصحيح، لا كمجرد مصدر للأحكام الشرعية فحسب؛ بل كمرجعية منهجية في تعليم علم الحديث ونقده، مما يُؤهلها لتكون أساساً لتصميم مناهج معاصرة في التخصص، وتستلهم الحكمة التربوية من تراثنا العلمي الأصيل.

Global Collaboration and Partnerships in Poverty Alleviation: Islamic Legal Perspective
type: item
description: Poverty, not just ordinary, but abject poverty ravages most continents of the world, which makes it a global phenomenon. The total number of countries 154 were identified in a particular research while as at Mya 2024, ten most affected countries included: South Sudan, Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Niger, Malawi, Liberia, Madagascar and Yemen; Nigeria inclusive. Unequivocally, the problems and or challenges comprise of: bad leadership, fallen currency insecurity, bad weather that affected some agricultural production of some nation and self-egoism of the rich members of the society and selfish interest of the people in charge of distribution of Zakah. The findings revealed that some Muslims who are blessed with wealth, give out charity (Sadaqah) not compulsory alms (Zakah) which actually is not in conformity with Islamic system of wealth circulation through Zakah system. Besides some of the well to do, who ventured and gave to individual Islamic religious leaders personalised the funds and diverted such Zakah for personal use, and in some cases, family business was established with such huge amount. The research methodology adopted here was analytical with the use of library, text books related records, facts and figures in conjunction with the use of primary sources of Islam (Qur’an and Hadith). The solutions to the global poverty were suggested, summary was drawn and recommendations, such as: unified ‘Baitul mal’, demanding having records for collection, and collection judicious distribution of Zakah.

type: item
description: Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. -This study came in explaining the role of Islamic institutions in raising and improving the level of the Holy Qur’an: by studying the role of the Ugandan Muslim Supreme Council as a model, where it was stated in its introduction to praise Allah the Almighty for what He has bestowed upon this ummah in the revelation of the Holy Qur’an and to draw evidence from the texts contained in the Holy Qur’an in this regard.Then, blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to whom the Noble Qur’an was revealed, and a statement urging the Ummah to pledge to it and act according to its rule, and to pray for his family and companions who cared for the Qur’an and those who followed them in goodness until Allah inherits the earth and those on it.

The Contribution Of Muslim Scholars Towards Science, Technology And Knowledge: A Historical Perspective
type: item
description: Gone are the days when multidisciplinary scholars explored a wide range of subjects. The Islamic golden age gave birth to many polymaths, where one scholar would have a depth of knowledge in theology, philosophy, medicine, astrophysics, mathematics, music, optics, astrology, Alchemy, and other disciplines simultaneously. In our contemporary world, the practice has been replaced with fragmentation of knowledge where one scholar specializes in a tiny aspect of a particular discipline. These very scholars are expected to address the challenges of the community, yet the same problems to be addressed are inter-related. For Muslim scholars to offer guidance or legal rulings, they must be well conversant with the emerging trends in society, culture, science, and technological advancement. In this day and age, finding such a scholar in the current Muslim society is quite challenging, implying that rigorous consultations must be made with other experts in other fields before issuing verdicts and guidance to the community. In this paper, analysis is made on the contributions of classical Muslim polymaths and how they successfully juggled a variety of disciplines and were able to guide society with their broad and deep knowledge banks. In addition, in this position paper, the argument is that for contemporary Muslim scholars to solve the challenges of the 21st century, a multidisciplinary approach towards knowledge and skills acquisition as well as application must be embraced. The researcher employed a qualitative literature review design; therefore, the study was purely qualitative and desk research. Numerous issues have been identified, for instance, a decline in Islamic intellectual thought and contribution to the fabric of knowledge in the contemporary world, promotion of taqlid (blind following) while overlooking the relevance of logic and reasoning (tadabbur and tafakkur), knowledge fragmentation, and over-emphasizing specialization. Several recommendations have been ma…

نظرية أبي سليمان الخطابي في إعجاز القرآن الكريم: دراسة موضوعية
type: item
description: The Holy Quran was a great miracle of the Prophet's mission, challenging humanity and leaving the ancient and modern scholars unable to produce its equivalent. Imam Al-Khattabi is one of the meticulous scholars of Arabic rhetoric, who has a solid foundation in all sciences of Arabic rhetoric. He exerted great effort and produced outstanding works that highlighted the Quranic miracle. This article aims to explain Imam Al-Khattabi's theory on the miracle of the Holy Quran and study it objectively. It also examines the patterns of the miracle according to Al-Khattabi, focusing on explaining the problems raised by the skeptics and responding to the atheists with evidence and arguments. The researcher used the historical and analytical methods in this study and recommends that scholars pay attention to understanding these facts properly, fearing the plots of Orientalists to demolish and distort the word of God through their doubts and attempts to confuse Muslims.

Homonym and Its Effect in Facilitating Communication: A Case Study of Arabic Particles
type: item
description: The punctilios scholars about safety and survival of Arabic Language paid great attention to researching on justification of that survival for the purpose of safeguarding the Glorious Qur’an from erroneous recitation, thus, the principles and rulemaking of Arabic grammar was established through the Arabic literary treasures in both prose and poetry gathered from different locations of Arabian Peninsula. However, those tremendous efforts almost fail at times therefore resulting to weakness of pure Arabic Language especially the non-Arabic speakers while applying the Arabic prepositions in sentence construction if not with the aid of “Homonym” in the field of philology. Therefore, this paper studies the impact of that homonym on facilitating and simplifying the syntactical study through the Arabic prepositions that are being regarded as a cardinal point in making coherence Arabic sentence construction. This study adopts inductive method to carry out the analysis. The research findings state that homonym has a great and obvious role in preventing non-Arabic speakers from committing syntactic blunders, and it also affirms that there is homonym in particles as it could be found in both nouns and verbs, and it discovers that homonym was logically referred to by the former noble scholars of Arabic syntax as Tanāwubul-Hurūf (Rotation of Use of particles)

description: Abstract Praise be to Allah, and may His blessings and peace be upon His Noble Messenger, Muhammad bin Abdullah, and upon his family and companions. This study came in explaining the role of Qur'an memorization centers in Uganda - by studying the role of Ubayyi bin Ka'ab Qur'an Memorization Centre as a model, where it was stated in its introduction to praise Allah the Almighty for making the Great Qur’an the best and greatest of the revealed books, as He made it a seal and an eternal miracle until the Day of Resurrection, with reference to the texts contained in the Qur’an Generous about it.

التقابل الفعلي بين اللغتين العربية واللونيولى الأوغندية
type: item
description: الحمد لله الذي علّم بالقلم، وأحسن آداب الأمم، ثم الصلاة والسلام على من بُعِث رحمة للعَلَم، وعلى آله وصحبه مصابيح العِلْم. وبعد: فإنّ اختلاف الناس في ألوانهم وتعدد ألسنتهم من سنن الله الأزلية وآياته العقلية الوارد ذكرها في القرآن الكريم. قال تعالى: ﮋ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْﮊويحصل اختلاف لغات البشر في أمور مختلفة بدءً بالصوامت والصوائت ومرورا ببناء الكلمات وانتهاءً ببناء الجمل مما يدل بوضوح على قدرة الله جل وعلا. فبالرغم من ذلك الاختلاف الهائل، يتفاهم الناس فيما بينهم بما وضعه الله لهم في هذا الخصوص وﮋكُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَﮊ،غير أنّ الإنسان مدنيّ بطبعه، فهو يأخذ ويعطي، ويحتاج إلى غيره كما يحتاج إليه ذلك الغير. من جهة أخرى، أراد الله تعالى أن يكون الإسلام هو دين الناس كافة من مشارق الأرض ومغاربها، واختار اللغة العربية لتكون لغة دينه العظيم عبر القرآن الكريم، فكان لزاما على المسلمين من مختلف الأنحاء المعمورة السعي نحو تعلم تلك اللغة من أجل فهم الإسلام، فدعت الحاجة إلى دراسة مختلف أسرار اللغة العربية الصوتية واللفظية والتركيبية، كما صار المسلمون -وربما غيرهم أيضا-يبحثون عن مختلف الطرق التي بها يصبح فهم اللغة العربية سهلاً ميسورا. ومما اهتدى إليه الباحثون في العصر الحديث هو أنّ التقابل بين لغتين أو أكثر يسهّل فهم اللغة المدروسة حيث يتم من خلاله الوقوف على أوجه التشابه وأوجه الاختلاف التي على ضوئها يجري اقتراح الحلول المناسبة لتذليل الصعوبات الناجمة عن ذلك الاختلاف. تسعى هذه المقالة إلى إعطاء لمحة تقابلية عن الجملة الفعلية بين اللغة العربية واللونيولي الأوغندية للتعرف على أماكن الاتفاق وأماكن الاختلاف مما سوف يقود الباحثين إلى التعرّف على الصعوبات المتوقعة نتيجة ذلك الاختلاف فضلاً عن اقتراح سبل تذليل تلك الصعوبات لتسهيل تعلّم اللغة العربية وتعليمها للناطقين باللونيولى الأوغندية أو العكس، وسيكون ذلك بالنظر إلى تعريف الجملة الفعلية في اللغتين وإلى مكوّناتها وإلى خصائصها التركيبية، والأمل أكيد في أن يكون ذلك ضمن الاسهامات المتواضعة في تعليم اللغة العربية للناطقين باللونيولي، والله الموفق.

description: The study was to determine the factors that influence zakāt compliance in Jinja, Uganda. Three different types of occupations or modes of earning were considered, that is salary earning, farming and business inventories. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to establish the effect of these three modes on compliance. The correlation was significant at p<0.05. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity were conducted to ascertain Sampling Adequacy and the KMO value was >6. The study revealed that salary earners, business inventories and farming all influenced the zakāt compliance in Jinja, Uganda. From the coefficients’ table a multiple regression prediction equation was generated for future analyses and studies. The findings revealed that business occupied Muslims are the most compliant about zakāt. The ones with higher profits have a positive attitude towards zakāt. It was also found out that zakāt attitude and profits earned by companies are some of the major factors that influence business zakāt compliance by companies and businesses. Massive sensitization seminars and workshop should be conducted to equip Muslims with business and agricultural skills for maximizing profits, savings and expenditure. This is expected to create more zakāt compliant Muslims.

اشتراط الولاية في عقد النكاح: دراسة تحليلية مقارنة بين ابن حزم في المحلى بالآثار وابن رشد في بداية المجتهد
type: item
description: This research aims to highlight the relationship between the text contained in the book “Al-Muhalla bil-Athar” by Ibn Hazm Al-Zahiri Al-Andalusi(d. 595/1198) and the one contained in the book Bidayat al-Mujtahid wa Nihayat al-Muqtasid by Ibn Rushd al-Hafid (d. 595/1198) on the issue of the requirement of guardianship in marriage. It also shows the contexts that could have a role in guiding the way the two imams dealt with the issue under study. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher used inductive, analytical, and comparative approaches in understanding and analyzing the way they dealt with the issue and the impact of different contexts in guiding their approach. The research concluded that there are common denominators between Ibn Hazm and Ibn Rushd in their courses, but the method of each of them in dealing with the issue differs from the other.

التقابل بين أصوات اللغتين العربية و لوغندا
type: item
description: يهدف هذا البحث بمنهجه التحليلي الوصفي إلى دراسة أصوات اللغتين العربية و"لوغندا" دراسة تقابلية، للكشف عن أوجه التشابه والتباين بينهما، والوقوف على الأصوات العربية التي تشكل للناطقين بلغة "لوغندا" صعوبة عند النطق بها. وتعدّ اللغة العربية من اللغات السامية التي دخلت "أوغندا" عن طريق الهجرات العربية إلى بلاد شرق إفريقيا، و"لوغندا" لغة "بانتوية" يتحدث بها "الباغندا"، أهالي مملكة "بوغندا" التي تقع في وسط "أوغندا". ويهدف الباحث بهذه الورقة أن يعرف القارئ مدى التفاعل الإيجابي بين اللغتين العربية و"لوغندا"، ويعرف بالصعوبات التي يجدها المتحدثين بلغة"الباغندا" عند النطق بالأصوات العربية، وكيفية تذليل هذه الصعوبات للمتعلمين. وقد تلتقي في اللغتين العربية و"لوغندا" أصوات صامتة وصائتة، ويبلغ عدد صوامت العربية ثمانية وعشرون، وعدد صوائتها ستة، وصوامت "لوغندا" ثمانية عشر، وصوائتها عشرة، تشترك اللغتان في ستة صوائت، وأربعة عشر صامتا، وبهذا التقارب النوعي يسهل على المتعلمين من "الباغندا" سهولة النطق بالعربية، وتنفرد العربية عن "لوغندا" بأربعة عشر صامتا، وهي التي يصعب على "الباغندا" النطق بها، فيبدلونها بأصوات توازيها في لغتهم، كما تنفرد "لوغندا" بـأربعة صوائت، ليس لها وجود في العربية.
