| dc.description.abstract | It is well established that there is no nation that can enjoy a true sustainable development without justice, peace and security. Based on this view, religion as a complete way of life, Islam left no aspect of human life untouched, being spiritual and materials, economic and political, individual and social, educational and cultural, national and international. Therefore, this paper presents the challenge of injustice, fear and insecurity in Nigeria and prescribed some Islamic measures which if taken, harmony, peace, security and sustainable development are ensured in this county, where fear and social vices will be things of the past. In order to achieve these goals, historical and positioned systems of data collection were adopted. The study discovered that the only solution to these problems in Nigeria is to subject the leaders and followers to embark on the law promulgated by the Creator of the universe and total submission to Him alone can solve the problems. The paper recommended that, every Nigerian citizen should be made to understand the true contents of their religious books to actualize the love, tolerance and togetherness embedded therein for peaceful co-existence. More so there is need for dialogue between the various religious leaders in the county for the exchange of ideas, views and opinions to bridge the gap between the faiths. | |
