Beyond doctrine : boko-haram, radical Islamist insurgency, and the Nigeria State
Uthman, Rasheed Adeyinka; Musyafa Syamil Arroyan; Abdulganiyu, Abdurahman Akanbi (International Research Institute Pakistan (IRIP), 2026-03-31)
Drawing on Piscatori and Eickelman’s theory of symbolic politics and fragmentation of authority, we move beyond theological reductionism and situates radical Islamist insurgency within broader pattern of political competition in a multi-religious polity. This paper interrogates radical Islamist insurgency in Nigeria, challenging the doctrinal stance of Boko Haram. We argued that the group is better understood as a struggle for legitimacy and material control rather than a mere outgrowth of theological deviance. In the group’s practices, there are coherent attempts to construct an alternative political order rivaling the state’s capacity to govern. Using qualitative case study approach, this study contributes to scholarship on political Islam by showing how political-economic gains drive armed Islamist actors to participate in authority contestation in Nigeria.
أثر الحديث المرسل في اختلاف الفقهاء : دراسة للنماذج المختارة
Yusuf Usman (Department of Islamic Studies, Bahria University Karachi Campus, 2025-12-17)
One of the distinctive features that Allah has granted this nation, setting it apart from others, is the concept of isnād, which is a key determinant of the authenticity of the (matn). Scholars have devoted significant attention to it, conducting thorough studies and investigations. They developed specific terminologies to classify the types of omissions in the chain. For example, an omission at the beginning of the chain is termed muʿallaq; in the middle without continuity, it is called munqaṭi; with continuity, it is referred to as muʿḍal; and at the end, it is classified as mursal. All these forms are generally deemed unreliable due to the unknown condition of the omitted narrator, except for the case of mursal, which scholars have further analyzed and categorized . A mursal report from a Companion—such as when Ibn ʿAbbās narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) without having directly heard it from him—is accepted by the majority of the Muslim community, with some even reporting consensus on this matter. However, there has been significant disagreement regarding other types of mursal reports. Some scholars accepted them unconditionally, citing the virtue of the generation of that era as testified by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Others rejected them outright due to the uncertainty caused by the omission of the narrator. A third group established specific conditions for their acceptance . This study arises from the researcher's interest in examining scholars' views on various aspects of mursal ḥadīth, selecting specific examples for detailed ḥadīth analysis. It also investigates the influence of these reports on differences among jurists regarding legal rulings. After evaluating the evidence presented by both sides, the researcher adopts the stronger opinion over the weaker one. A descriptive and analytical methodology has been employed to achieve the research objectives.
دفع الشبهات المثارة حول الوليد بن عقبة ودراسة مروياته (دراسة حديثية)
Yusuf Usman (Umaru Musa Yar'adua University, 2025-12-31)
This research addresses the claims made by some scholars and orientalists who questioned the integrity of the Companion al-Walīd ibn 'Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him). It seeks to re-examine the reports and narratives used to cast doubt upon him, analyzing them through a rigorous scholarly lens away from both uncritical veneration and unfair accusations. The study aims to defend the status of the Companion and highlight his virtues, while applying the principles of hadith authentication in practice to distinguish between sound and weak historical accounts. The study focused on four main allegations: the interpretation of the verse of fisq in Sūrat al-Hujurāt, what is mentioned in Sūrat al-Sajdah, the claim of injustice toward his wives, and his governorship of Kūfa during the caliphate of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). After examining the reports in terms of both chain of transmission and content, it was found that most of them are unsound, and what is authentic can be interpreted in a reasonable manner. Furthermore, his appointment by 'Uthman was not favoritism but based on competence, and his withdrawal from the civil strife and dedication to worship are proofs of his piety and uprightness. The research employed a descriptive, historical, and critical inductive methodology, collecting the relevant reports and analyzing them in light of the rules established by the hadith scholars, while comparing the opinions of leading authorities. The findings conclude that the criticisms against al-Walīd ibn 'Uqbah do not stand on solid evidence, and that any mistakes he committed do not undermine his integrity, for the application of the hadd (penalty) serves as expiation. Moreover, his few transmitted narrations are due to his political responsibilities, and most of them are weak. Thus, the justice of the Companions is a firmly established principle, supported by textual evidence and scholarly consensus, and their status must not be undermined.
The transformation of Islamic religious authority
Lohlker, Rüdiger; Soleh Hasan Wahid (MDPI, 2026-04-17)
The transformation of religious authority in the digital age is shaped by the interactions between human actors, digital media and algorithmic systems. This study uses digital ethnography to examine how religious authority is constructed and negotiated on digital platforms used by Muslims in Indonesia and globally. This study focuses on seven authoritative figures in the digital Islamic landscape, representing different spectra of authority, from traditional pesantren in Indonesia to transnational apologetics and urban liberalism. The findings reveal patterns of authority delegation in which digital platforms replace human roles in da’wah and Islamic institutions. Religious authority is formed through articulative work that connects the Sunnah, intermediaries (religious scholars), and congregations. Public search data show that digital spaces function as a medium of distribution, where religious authority is shaped by audience responses, message repetition, symbolic affiliation, and the dynamics of debate. This study highlights the role of algorithmic culture and authority representation aesthetics in mediating religious authority in the digital age. Algorithms shape exposure and reach audiences, and representational aesthetics are crucial for disseminating religious content. The study concludes that clerical authority in the digital era results from technocultural mediation, in which the cleric becomes both a figure and representation calculated by machines and validated by the audience’s participation.

Generation Zs, often labeled as "digital natives," are now increasingly joining the education sphere. This generation has unique characteristics, such as familiarity with technology, the need for immediate recognition, and an expectation for continuous self-development. This article sought to analyze how generation-based career development management can optimize the performance of Generation Z educators. The research employs a qualitative method through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The research findings indicate that Generation Z educators require flexible career paths, technology-based training, and supportive, inclusive workplaces. Additionally, factors such as immediate recognition, constructive feedback, and cross-generational mentoring are crucial in motivating them. The findings also suggest that implementing relevant career development strategies can enhance the productivity of Gen-Z educators while simultaneously improving overall educational quality.
