Item Assesment of Urban Mosque Facilities and Enviromental Issues in Nigeria(Department of Religions and Peace Studies, Faculty of Arts, Lagos State University, 2021-12) Shittu, AbdulWahab Danladi; Adedeji, Lukman Lekan; Ibrahim, Muhammad BelloWest African cities, in the Sub Saharan zone are identified with Islam for a long time. Cities provide religious facilities, like mosques and cemeteries in Muslim majority areas, built with the intent of multipurpose services. Based on the main purposes for which mosques are built, normally for worship, educational and recreational purposes, today most urban mosques are below average, in providing their ideal service delivery. Increasing population and eroded environmental knowledge as a result of urbanization has come up with lots of pressures on provided facilities with attending discomforts as a result of inadequate facilities provided by the mosques. This study adopted a mixed research methodology. Primary data was generated from key informant interviews (KII), observations and administration of carefully designed survey instrument. Secondary data were derived from relevant literature and the internet. Findings suggest that urban mosque facilities in Maiduguri and Ilorin are grossly inadequate in satisfying the ever increasing environmental and spiritual needs of worshippers. Most mosques were built over a long period of time, facilities therein were conceived within traditional ways and capabilities and now urbanization, coupled with myriad interpretations of religious teachings, changing the taste of people and perception of these facilities, often affecting many worshippers. These points coupled with influx of people due to urbanization, affects the environment and healthiness of those who are using mosque facilities in their neighbourhoods. In conclusion the paper recommends that for worshippers to derived maximum state of health, serenity and comfort in urban mosques, facilities have to be adequate, state of the art and environmentally friendly.Item Da’wah on Radio: The Ilorin Experience(Department of Islamic Studies, Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto, 2020-06) Shittu, AbdulWahab Danladi; Ibrahim, Mubarak OlalekanOne of the veritable means employed by Muslim preachers for dacwah (Islamic propagation) in the contemporary period is the medium of radio. This paper thus examined the peculiar discourses of selected Islamic programmes through the medium of radio stations within Ilorin metropolis with the objective of measuring the relevance of the programmes to societal reformation. Adopting a combination of descriptive and evaluative methods of data collection and analysis, findings of the study revealed that some Islamic radio programmes have influenced the Muslims in the community positively especially in the areas of socio-political aspects of human endeavour. The authors, however, observed that most of the programmes aired are those of aqīdah (creed) and muacmalah (human relationship). Areas of ibādah (worship) are given less attention despite the significance it has. The authors therefore recommended that scholars should navigate this aspect, and audience should show a complimentary attitude towards ensuring fluidity of these programmes.Item Imamship In Ogbomoso Central Mosque: History, Appointment And Function(Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, University of Ibadan, 2020-05) Shittu, AbdulWahab Danladi; SURAJU, SaheedBadmus; AbdulFatai, Shittu OlayinkaImamship is a position of leadership that is considered statutory and assumed only by qualification.

This is evident in the prevalence of killing, kidnapping, bombing and sacrificing human being for rituals. The act is against the teaching of Islam and thus, attempt is made in this paper to examine the relevance of Sayyid Qutb’s exposition on the sanctity of life to the law in use in northern Nigeria. This law navigated through the expository effort of Sayyid Qutb on homicide as contained in Suratul Isra’. A combination of historical and hermeneutical methods were adopted to study the relevance of the view of the exegete to the provision for the offence in the shariah penal codes with the objective of appreciating the relevance of shariah on execution of the life of a deserving criminal. Findings of the work revealed that Sayyid Qutb narrowed his discussion on the legality for the execution of life as contained in the Qur’an just as he gave a literal interpretation to the sunnah of the Prophet that legalizes the execution of a category of people. In the light of this limitation, this paper condemns jungle justice in the execution of life and recommends an adoption of shariah as a legal systemItem Teachers Perception of the Revised Islamic Studies Curriculum for the Upper Basic Education (J.S. 1-3)(Nigeria Association of Teachers of Arabic and Islamic Studies (NATAIS), 2015) Shittu, AbdulWahab Danladi; Ibrahim, Kamaldeen AyodeleIslamic studies was one of the independent subjects of teaching in the Primary and Secondary School System of Nigeria until 2012 when the 9-years Universal Basic Education Curriculum was reviewed and the subject became a theme among other three themes that form Religion and National Values.
