It is recommended that a reasonable amount should be shared to the people annually, perhaps the beneficiaries can use the money to start a business that can contribute to economic growth, finally, there should be a strong and functioning committee under Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), Jama'atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis- Sunnah (JIBWIS), Fityanul-Islam, Voice of Islam (VOI) etc. who can persuade the wealthy Muslims towards giving the Zakah.

Crime is almost part and parcel of all societies, especially in our contemporary times. Kidnapping has become a worrisome menace in Northern Nigeria. The aim of this research is to explore the objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid Ash-SharJ'ah) on crime control and management so as to have a decent environment with minimal commitment to avoidable crimes.

Factors responsible for the crime are absence of God's consciousness by those that involved in the act, self-enrichment with quick money, inadequate security personnel and injustice from the side of Northern Nigerian governors are also contributing in this regards. The engagement of youth in different skills acquisition, provision of employment by private and public sectors can help in reducing the ungodly act, the paper recommends among others, that justice must be ensured at all levels from federal, state and local governments which can contribute immensely in eliminating crime in Northern Nigeria, to be specific a purposeful sampling method is adopted in the selection of three states from the three geo-political zones in Northern Nigeria.

HINDRANCES TO GOOD GOVERNANCE IN NIGERIA: SOLUTION FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE
(Department of Islamic Studies, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2019-10-14) Ibrahim, Muhammad Yakubu; Muhammad, Maishanu Aliyu; Adamu, Tanko Isah
The aim of this paper is to look at those things that make good governance difficult in Nigeria and to provide solution from Islamic perspective. Good governance is generally characterized by doing what is right from the side of the leader while following due process in governing his subjects. However, if certain elements are seen as part of the government which can include breach of trust, abuse of oath of an office, discrimination based on tribal, zone or political party of the opponents or citizens, bribery and corruption and worse of all nepotism such a government is classified as bad government. The type of governance exhibited by the Seal of Prophets Muhammad (S. A. W) is an example of good governance based on divine guidance and operated with justice to all and sundry without biased. If Nigerian leaders would govern according to the provision of the constitution and their party manifesto, I believe all the hindrances to good governance can overcome. Related literatures and interview were both employed as the methodology of this research. In conclusion, leaders should see themselves first as the servants of the people and should have it at their hearts that leadership is all about sacrifice and providing good service without compromise. It is recommended that credibility should be considered when it comes to appointment and what is for a particular zone, constituency or location should be given to them without denial

Endowment (Waqf) is an essential charitable institution in Islam that provides a compendium services to the Muslim community (ummah) such as welfare, educational activities, shelter, etc. The aim of this research is to survey the existence of Waqf institution in Lafia City of Nasarawa State, Nigeria and to call the attention of the Muslims to invest hugely in the aspect of Waqf. Because there are very few of them within the area of study, especially when one looks at the huge investment by some wealthy Muslims in the area on worldly materials that can only earn them gains this include hotels and houses built for the purpose of entertainment known in Hausa language as “Gidan Wasa” etc. The methodology adopted in the research includes interview, using of some related literatures as secondary sources while selected verses of the Qur’an and traditions of Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W) (Hadith) were the primary sources. This work is important as it would motivate the rich people among the Muslims to build and donate houses for Waqf which could be a sustainable charity (Sadaqat al-jdriyah) for them or for those intended for, also it would serve as a source material for prospective researchers to continue and fill the lacuna where this one has not filled, also stakeholders such as government, religious leaders and our royal highnesses (Emirs/traditional rulers) can use it as an awakening call to their subjects. It was found that many Muslims are not aware of the important institution of Waqf in Lafia which makes its existence unpopular like Zakah, Sadaqa, etc. Wealthy Muslims should focus and redirect their attention on this aspect of sustainable development such that even after the demise of the donor the benefits would continue without ceasing.

(Department of Islamic Studies, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2019-01-11) Mu'allimu, Aminu Kambari; Muhammad, Maishanu Aliyu; Yahaya, Sulaiman
There are three arms of government in Nigeria namely, executive, legislatures and judiciary. With the exclusion of the last category the first two always get themselves into power through the conduct of election which by this,they have become political leaders. Islam considers leadership as a trust and not as an avenue for self-enrichment, extravagancy and spending of public funds without justification. The public funds are always under the watch and control of the leaders especially President and state governors, instead of utilizing the funds to provide quality education, portable and clean water, stable electricity, good roads, maintenance of security and safety of citizens, etc. but diversion and mismanagement of the funds become rampant nowadays. The aim of this article is to draw the attention of the leaders who mismanaged public resources to cease from this ungodly act and to remind the perpetrators about the consequences of doing so. The methodology adopted in this article is the use of relevant literatures both from library and internet. This research paper is important in the sense that it would serve as a consciousness-raising to the leaders, followers and the researchers in handling the public funds with trust. The findings of the study reveal that some state governors uses public funds for personal gain especially by saving them in the banks to accrue the interest. We recommend that public funds should be utilized appropriately by all the leaders without compromise while those that mismanaged the funds should be forced by the law to repay the money and be punished in accordance to the provision of law.
