    The covid-19 pandemic with all its underlined devastating medical challenges has come and gone. This study however brings back the painful memories of the pandemic with a view to examining what indices may again have the potential to bring about its possible future outbreak. The study particularly aims at exploring the checkmating roles of Islamic law on this global life- threatening calamity. The objectives in this work are to propose an integration of the therapeutic guidance of Islamic law with orthodox medical contributions of scientists (vaccinations, majorly). The hybrid of these twin variables is considered imminent to offer better relief and wellness when needed. This is moreso that the so-called scientific interventions, while the Covid-19 lasted, were not free from harsh side effects such as the inflammation of the heart muscle and the lining after the heart. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research, utilizing, content analysis of literature related to the subject of focus. Findings indicate that though the pandemic’s intensity has long subsided, factors such as increased human- animal interaction, urban overcrowding and climate change among others can contribute to reoccurrence of the pandemic at any time. The work further finds that plethora of guidelines exist in the Qur’an and Sunnah which offer Islamic way-out from illnesses and pandemics.

    (JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE LAW IN AFRICA, 2025) Olagunju Ibrahim Ridwan O; Barakat A Raji; Israel A Adeniyi; Dauda A Ariyoosu; Solomon O Afolabi; John Ogedengbe; Imam A Ahmed
    There were various reports and studies shown in 2021 indicating that the population of persons living with disabilities in Nigeria has exceeded 32 million. Generally speaking, the issues surrounding disability conditions and welfare are usually addressed as matters of welfare and charity. This attitude has precipitated the continued social exclusion and marginalisation of persons with disabilities in Nigeria. Nigeria has ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Code. Another milestone in the country’s efforts to promote disability inclusion and achieve sustainable improvement in the conditions of persons with disabilities was reached in January 2019, when it signed into law the Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act. Despite the passage of these laws, people with disabilities continue to face discrimination, insecurity, violation of rights, stigmatisation, and lack of access to basic amenities daily. Silhouetted against this backdrop, this paper examines the extent of the protection of disability rights under the Nigerian legal regime. This paper employs a doctrinal and qualitative methodology of legal research in which relevant primary and secondary sources of legal materials are subjected to descriptive and content analysis. The paper then concludes with recommendations on how to achieve effective protection of disability rights in Nigeria.
