Item Arabic education in Nigerian universities: the university of Ibadan as a model(Nigeria Association of Teachers of Arabic and Islamic Studies, (NATAIS), Ogun State, 2023-06) Ibrahim, L. A.This research aimed to shed light on the reality of Arabic education in Nigerian universities, with a special focus on what distinguishes the Department of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies at the University of Ibadan, which is considered the oldest scientific facility in this land. This excavation was carried out by investigating the stages through which Arabic activities passed through, and it explained its educational trends, which are not adopted by other Nigerian universities, especially with regard to teaching foreign languages. While the University of Ibadan was a British product, the establishment of subsequent universities was up to the Nigerian government. The research adopted the historical and inductive approach and concluded that the Nigerian universities that conduct Arabic programmes responded in their Arabic education to purely Arab trends, while the educational policy of the University of Ibadan was rooted in the ideologies of the colonialists since the dawn of its inception and continues despite the introduction of multiple developments to the university and its systems. This situation cannot be changed except by amending the university's educational policy left behind by the British colonization of the country and upon which the university was founded.Item Arabic as a viable tool for deepening western oriented knowledge: reading into the works of teachers of arabic in conventional universities, South-west, Nigeria(2020) Ibrahim, L. A.This paper explores the viability of Arabic as an efficacious tool for the acquisition of western oriented knowledge. This is done by investigating into the learning backgrounds of selected University teachers of Arabic in Yorubaland. The study, using both analytical and descriptive methods samples works of seven personalities. It is discovered that majority of the scholars under the study had no opportunity to attend pre-university schools but had to sacrifice their little time unconventionally to measure up with their peers with basic western education whose medium of instruction is English. Following their academic attainment, they contributed not only to da’wah, for which they trained hitherto, but also propagation of Yoruba culture through translation and publications. The paper concludes that their seamless intellectual migration is levered by their previous knowledge of the language of Quran.Item Arabic culture and human capital development: a study of the contributions of Ismail Taofiq AbdulGaniyy to the development of arabic calligraphy in Nigeria(A Joint Publication of the Alumni Association of Arabic Institute of Nigeria (AAAIN) and Islamic Studies Unit, Department of Religions. University of Ilonn, Ilorin, 2020) Ibrahim, L. A.; Alimi, S. A.Item An overview of the impact of arab civilizaton on yoruba culture in Nigeria(The Yoruba Studies Association of Nigeria (YSAN) c/o Department of Linguistics and African Languages University of Ibadan, 2023-01) Akewula, A. O.; Kamorudeen, B. K.Nigeria was a land where idol worship marked the religious life of the inhabitants. With the advent of Islam which came with its civilization, Nigerians’ faith, rituals, rites, practices and customs changed and impacted the Nigerian culture. Invariably, the contact of the Arabs with the people of Yorubaland in Nigeria brought about a new era in their beliefs. The Arabs who were mainly Muslims and with the focus to spread Islam preached assiduously against the syncretic religious practices of the Yoruba in the Southwestern region of Nigeria. There is no gainsaying the fact that every religion has its own unique identity characterized by traditions, values and norms that make it stand out. Over the centuries, we have observed that the southwestern Nigeria culture is gradually fading away as we adopt Arab civilization and this persists as days go by. The Arab civilization has influenced the Yoruba culture in different domains. Some of the impacts are noticeable in our education, language, borrowing, social activities, entertainment, traditional settings, marriage, naming, burial and funeral rites and widowhood. This paper employs historical method which attempts to examine how Arab civilization influenced Yoruba culture in the aforementioned domains including religion and devotional rites. It is our hope that some aspects of Yoruba Culture that are not inimical to Islamic teachings would be preserved to avoid becoming moribund.Item Grapho-phonological features in qumashah al-ulayan’s uyunu qadhrah (dirty eyes)(Global Journals, 2020) Akewula, A. O.This paper examines the linguistics features of Qumashah al-ulayan's text ‘Uyunu al-Qadhrah (Dirty Eyes) and how these linguistics features enhance meaning achievement. The paper argues that stylistics is a bridge between literary criticism and linguistics. This study, therefore, applies the insights and techniques of general linguistics to investigate the stylistic value of graphological and phonological devices as semantic signifiers in the text. The study deploys M.A.K Holiday's Systemic Functional model as the analytical tool to examine the use of graphology such as punctuations and paragraphing. Phonological devices like repetition, alliteration and rhyme in the text are also examined. The study posits that, at level of language study, graphological and phonological structure play a vital role in encoding the meaning and aesthetics of Qumashah al Ulayan’s text.Item The arabic scene as a foreign language in madaris education in Ibadan metropolis(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2020) Akewula, A.

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.
