Item Forest management practices from islamic perspective(The Department of Religious Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2016-06) Kareem, M. K.Today, the world is facing the problem of global warming and other environmental crises and malaises; and the effect of these phenomena has serious implications on the survival of man. Many researchers have looked at the problem from different perspectives with a view to finding sustainable solutions. Not much attention has been given by both Muslims and non-Muslims to the Islamic directives on forest management, one of the ways by which the global warming and other environmental crises can be abated. It is against this backdrop that the paper aims at examining the Islamic directives on forest management. A descriptive approach and textual analysis of the Qur’an and the Sunnah were adopted in carrying out this research. The study finds that taking care of the environment is tantamount to good deeds, and as good as other acts stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. It shows the honour given to trees and environment. The paper presents how trees mop-up carbon dioxide, a green house gas, from the atmosphere and replenish the oxygen content to give man clean air; fix atmospheric nitrogen to rejuvenate the soil; reduce use of inorganic nitrogen fertilizer and emission of nitrous oxide (N2O). It is against Islamic teachings to cut trees or abuse forests without genuine reason. Therefore, adoption of the teachings of Islam in the areas of forest management can go a long way in changing peoples’ attitude positively towards its use and sustainability.Item Semantic connotation of hadith and the emergence of arabic schools of grammar(European Scientifìc Institute, 2016-06) Shittu, S. A.; Adebolu, I. A. S.Scholars focused the contributions of the Qur’an to the evolution of Arabic Grammar, but few of them focused on the effect of prophetic tradition on the area. This paper, therefore, focuses on semantic connotation of prophetic traditions: “Guide your brother, he has gone astray” and "Divergent opinion of my followers is a blessing” These sayings of the prophet led to the evolution of Arabic grammatical studies and the establishment of its schools that enriched Arabic grammar. It opens with the grammarians’ contribution to the development of Arabic grammar such as Abul-Aswad Addu’all (d.69 A.H), Seyyid ‘Ali b. Ab! Talib, al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-FaràhidT and so on. Although, There were five major schools of Arabie grammar namely: al-Madhhab al -Basra, al-Madhhab al- Kufa, al- Madhhab al-Bagdad, al-Madhhab al- Andalusi and al-Madhhab al- Misri but Ibis paper, mainly focuses on the two prominent schools - Basran and Kufan. It analyses the conflict of theory in Arabic grammar on some topics and other terms, grammatical debates between notable scholars of the two schools with their divergent opinions. The discussion ends with the justification of analogical deduction employed by the two schools in their analysis as a commendable exercise.Item Forest management from islamic perspectives(2017) Kareem, M.
