Religious extremism is a phenomenon that is very rampant on the table of discourse both in local and international forum. The research looked at religious extremism among Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, using ¿Boko Haram¿ sect as a case study. It presented the causes and effects of religious extremism. It is discovered in the study that the Nigerian society, religious extremism (violence and crisis) is more rampant in the Northern part of the country than any other part. The study recommended among other things, that religious educational enlightenment in Nigeria should be properly taught which would be centered on religious tolerance and understanding. The study recommended that the Nigerian constitution should avoid constitutional segregation as it pertains to religious matters, hence the need for constitutional review. The study also recommended that proper involvement of medical personnel and psychologists should be put in place, through which psycho centers and rehabilitation centers should be established to re-orientate the minds of the religious extremists instead of killing them.

Originally published in 1952, al-Din, by prominent Egyptian scholar Muhammad Abdullah Draz (1894-1958), has been critically acclaimed as one of the most influential Arab Muslim studies of universal 'religion' and forms of religiosity in modern times. Written as an introductory textbook for a course in the "History of Religions" at King Fuad I University in Cairo-the first of its kind offered at an Egyptian institution of higher learning-this book presents a critical overview of classical approaches to the scholarly study of religion. While ultimately adapted to an Islamic paradigm, the book is a novel attempt to construct a grand narrative about the large methodological issues of Religious Studies and the History of Religions and in relation to modernity and secularism. Translated for the first time in English by Yahya Haidar, this book demonstrates how the scholarly academic study of religion in the West, often described as 'Orientalist', came to influence and help shape a counter-discourse from one of the leading Arab Muslim scholars of his time.

Is the concept of modesty universal? I think not. Rather, the understanding of modesty mostly remains individual. More importantly, modesty is an elusive concept to define. That is, one's account of modesty differs from another's. As Elizabeth Bucar succinctly puts it, the term modesty is "an abstract idea about conforming to standards of what is considered appropriate," and more importantly, "it is understood in relation to local perspectives on dress, gender, aesthetics, and so on."1 Several factors could affect one's understanding of modesty. Religion, especially its reaction to modernity and modern norms, is one of the essential factors affecting how people perceive and express modesty. Thus, in this study, I will not attempt to define the wordmodesty. On

Ruqya (also spelled ruqyah) is an Islamic prayer modality that uses verses of the Qur'an or supplications of Prophet Mohammed in order to treat oneself or another from ill health, possession, or black magic and the evil eye (al-Jawziyya, 1999; al-Suyuti, 1962; Elkadi, 1985; Fredrick, 1996; Johnstone, 1998; Rahman, 1987; Searchtruth, 2010). It can also be used as aprotection from the aforementioned conditions as well as a preventative measure for general health. The following hadith (saying or action of Prophet Mohammad as told by his companions and wives) is an example of ruqya as it was used during the time of Prophet Mohammed. Some of the companions of Prophet Mohammed passed by some people staying at aplace where there was water and one of those people had been stung by a scorpion. A man from those staying near the water came and said to the companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can do ruqya, as near the water there is a person who has been stung by a scorpion." So one of the Prophet's companions went to him andrecited surat-al-Fatiha (the first verse of the Qur'an) for a sheep as his fees. The patient got cured and the man brought the sheep to his companions, but they disliked that and said, "You have taken wages for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at Medina, they said, "O Allah's Apostle! This person has taken wages for reciting Allah's Book." On that Allah's Apostle said, "You are most entitled to take wages for doing a ruqya with Allah's Book." (Searchtruth, 2010, number 633)

"Zencirci introduces the concept of the Muslim Social, defined as a welfare regime that reimagined and reconfigured Islamic charitable practices to address the complex needs of a modern market society. Although these governmental assemblages of Islamic neoliberalism produced new forms of generosity, distinctive notions of poverty, and novel ways of relating to others in society, Zencirci reveals how this welfare regime privileged managerial efficiency and emotional well-being at the expense of other objectives such as equality, development, or justice"--

A TORONTO STAR BESTSELLERFrom the bestselling author of The Concubine’s Children and The Girl in the Picture, a gripping story of a domestic assault that shocked the world, of the exercise of power and political influence, and of the Bangladeshi woman whose irrepressible spirit found light in sudden darkness.From the outside, Rumana seemed an unlikely victim of domestic abuse: married to a man of her own choosing and progressing in her career as a professor of international relations at Dhaka University. But in 2011, on return from graduate studies at the University of British Columbia, her husband attacked and blinded her in front of their young daughter. As Rumana's horrifying story garnered international headlines, and connections brought her to Vancouver in an attempt—ultimately futile—to restore her sight, her plight underscored the fact that there are no typical victims of intimate-partner violence.    Denise Chong goes behind the headlines to reveal the devolution of a love story into a tale of tyranny behind closed doors, and the pursuit of justice that proved all the more elusive during the rise of social media. Out of Darkness tells a globe-spanning narrative of loyalty, perseverance and a woman’s determination to face the future and rebuild a life with meaning.
