In today's globalized world, most discussions of development strategies centered on the environment.

The current environmental crisis jeopardizes humans, other living organisms, and the natural world. Human behavior's significance in relation to the natural environment has not changed. Technological solution has not been resulting in satisfying outcome. When it comes to the role of the Islamic principles of unity, trusteeship, and responsibility in environmental awareness, Qur’anic and prophetic teachings can help people form friendly relationships with God, humanity, and nature.

In other words, Muslims are violent because their Prophet was. However, learning about the Prophet Muhammad’s life and the early Muslim community in Medina will show that violence is not central to the faith, but that warfare within clear guidelines might be needed when diplomatic efforts fail. This is important to highlight, also, for some Muslims who use violence as a means to achieve certain ends and have contributed to the negative image of the faith. The Prophet used it as a last resort and never used it to instill fear into a people nor did he use it against his own. Terrorism and the violence we have seen by leaders in the Middle East against protesters, for example, deviate from the example set by the Prophet Muhammad over 1400 years agoItem Open Access MUSLIM WOMEN AND CHALLENGES OF WESTERN EDUCATION(Department of Islamic Studies, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2016-03-03) Liman, Sa'adatu Hassan; Abdullahi, Adamu Sulaiman; Muhammad, Muhammad Tanko AliyuEducation, any education, is beneficial to humanity and enjoined upon Muslims to seek for it and use it within the confines of Islamic framework. Education turns harmful only when it is stripped of moral values. Western Education being secular in identity and purpose had some inherent and inadvertent negative effects on the Muslim women which are regarded as challenges to their Islamic personality. This paper, using the qualitative analytical approach delves into the challenges affecting the Muslim women who pass through Western Education at the points of study and work to earn livelihood and develop their nation. The paper discovered obstruction of prayer time, eroding family responsibilities, moral laxity manifesting in sexual licentiousness, imposition of un-Islamic dressing and indiscriminate mixing of sexes as major challenges of Western Education to the Muslim women. The paper recommends the intertwining of Islamic moral values with Western Education and its institutions as the way forward in addressing the challenges.Item Open Access Security, Privacy and Information Technology, an Islamic Perspective(Department of Islamic Studies, Nasarawa State University Keffi., 2021-01-01) Abdullahi, Adamu Sulaiman; Abubakar, Sadiq Ahmed AbajiSecurity and Privacy are the most critical field in the recent years since the advent of information, communication and technology that is eroding the fundamental human right of life,property and privacy, despite the closing the gap and cementing the relationship through quick and fast communication with person leaving very far away through social media These phenomena raise many people concern about the future of the Nigerian.
