Item Tithe, tax and zakat: a comparative analysis(Department of Religion and African Culture, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, 2020-06) Kareem, M. K.Imposition of levy permeates religious and mundane affairs of people; and it takes a significant position not only in the religious affairs but also in the global economy. Many works have been done on tithe, tax and zakat without much attention on comparison. A comparison of them is necessary to weigh the relative impact of each on people. Therefore, the study compares them in the areas such as nature, objective and role. Using inductive qualitative methodology to explore some conceptual frameworks of Christian sources, sources of tax laws and Islamic sources, the paper finds that tithe, tax and zakat are viable means of eliminating poverty for individuals, organisations and economy. Tithe and zakat promise a just humane society for peace and prosperity in this world as an adjunct to salvation in the hereafter. The findings also show the trio are similar in the areas such as guarantee of fulfilment of basic needs, obligations, social, political and economic objectives but their differences lie in areas such as spiritual objective, reformation, heads of expenditure, chargeable items, rates and loss relief. The study reveals that non-Sharī‘ah compliant products such as liquor and pork which are not zakatable are fit for tithe and tax. The trio can ensure distribution of wealth for empowerment of the less privileged and for provision of infrastructural facilities. Zakat and tithe paid should be allowable deductions in the computation of tax with a view to relieving zakat and tithe payers of double taxation.Item Challenges facing female muslim medical practitioners (FMMP) in the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria(International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies, Malaysia, 2020-06) Kareem, M. K.; Adeogun, J. A.In Nigeria, religious intolerance between Muslims and Christians continues to increase. Muslim women are among those who have felt the most impact from the resulting religious prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination, especially in their workplaces. While many studies have been conducted to investigate the myriads of challenges facing women in general and Muslim women in particular, little research has been done on the challenges they face in their workplaces. This study intends to fill this gap by studying Female Muslim Medical Practitioners (FMMP) at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. Purposive and snowball samplings were used to select seventy research participants. Face-to-face and in-depth individual interviews, which lasted between 30 minutes and three hours each, were used to collect data for the study, in which relevant statistical tests were used for data analysis. The study reveals that FMMPs in the hospital encounter several challenges, such as donning the hijab (the Muslim headscarf), performing daily prayers (salat), and employment opportunities. There is also evidence of high-level discrimination in the workplace. Finally, the study recommends that the management of UCH enhance its practice and policies regarding religious tolerance, equality, fairness, unity, and cooperation amongst its administrative staff and personnel.Item Beliefs and practices of a pious muslim(University Press PLC, Ibadan, 2020) Kareem, M.
