    This study argues that in order to meet the value chain of library users and increase library patronage, there is the need to assess the use of library services by Undergraduate Students in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria especially during the examination period when patronage is at the peak. The study had three objectives: To identify the purpose of use of Kashim Ibrahim Library by Undergraduate students in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria during examination. To identify the services Undergraduate students of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria use in Kashim Ibrahim Library during examination. To find out the challenges Undergraduate students face in the use of Kashim Ibrahim Library services during examination? A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted and questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The study revealed that undergraduate in Ahmadu Bello University, zaria use the Library to read their own books during examination, they also use the wireless Internet services and the wired Internet and the computer services of the MTN Net Library. The study also discovered that undergraduates basically use the library space and the Internet and Computer services of the Library. Finally, the study found that the major challenges undergraduates face with the use of library services during examination includes lack of space, inadequate number of computers, lack of comfortable seats, poor Internet services, inadequate power outlets for the students’ laptops and lack of assistance from library staff. The study then recommended that Library management should  constitute a section of the library for user needs elicitation. Library space should be well furnished and more space could be freed up in the Library if some of the old resources of the library are weeded and made into closeaccess. They will only be accessed if they are demanded for. The library  management could also partition some of the available spaces to make way for areas for small group discussions. Library Management could  embark on advocacy to Government parastatals that donate ICTs free of charge. Parastatals like NITDA, NCC and even Ministry of Communication. This will help them secure the additional ICTs for undergraduate use

    Hz. Muhammed’in hayatının peygamberlik öncesi dönemi hakkında İslam Tarihi kaynaklarında oldukça farklı rivayetler mevcuttur. Üstelik bu farklılık çok erken dönemlerden itibaren mevcuttur. Bu farklılıkların mümkünse sebeplerinin anlaşılabilmesi veya en azından hangi bilginin daha güvenilir ve tercihe şayan olduğunun belirlenebilmesi amacıyla İslami ilimlerin kendine has yöntemi olan “isnad” kullanılarak ve İslam tarihinin çok geniş sahası ilk dönemle sınırlanıp Megāzî müellifi olduğu iddia edilen ve bu sahada hemen her olayın farklı bir anlatımına rastladığımız Musa b. Ukbe’nin rivayetleri tezin merkezinde tutulmak suretiyle konu ile ilgili diğer rivayetlerin değerlendirilmesi önemli görülmektedir. Zira böylece erken dönem İslam tarihi çalışmalarında çok problemli bir alan olan Hz. Muhammed’in peygamberlik öncesi dönemi hem aydınlatılma hem de çeşitli spekülasyonlardan arındırılma imkanına sahip olacaktır. Ukbe, Megāzî, Siyer, İslam Tarihi, Hz. Muhammed, Peygamberlik Öncesi, Rivayet.There are widely different narratives about the pre-prophecy life of the Prophet Muhammad in the early Islamic sources. It seems important to review relative narratives about the subject and the thesis focuses on the narratives of Musa b. Uqba, the author of a maghazi, who uses the way of “isnad”, a specific method in Islamic scholarship to understand variations. This would help us identify reliable data in the early Islamic period. Thus, it’ll be possible to light and purify from speculations the pre-prophecy life of the Prophet Muhammad, which is very problematical area in the early Islamic history. Key Words: Musa b. Uqba, Maghazi, Siyar, History of İslam, Mohammed, Pre-prophecy, Narrative

    The role of Bank Negara Malaysia in limiting imprudent consumption

    No full text
    This study identifies the role that Bank Negara Malaysia plays in regulating imprudent consumption. In doing so, the author reviews the Guidelines on Responsible Financing introduced by the Bank in 2012 to regulate the consumer credit market. Since consumers are highly dependent on credit to purchase what they desire, the Bank tightened lending procedures. The author also argues that despite the claimed ethical superiority of Islamic finance, there is no apparent difference when it comes to providing loans (or rather financing) to consumers. The findings of this study suggest that such procedures reduced the growth of household borrowing and consumer loans/financing. As such, the study concludes that Bank Negara Malaysia has an effective role to play in limiting the negative effects of imprudent consumption

Alhaji Bashir has extensive Islamic knowledge and currently works for the Borno State government.This manuscript is a very short work in Arabic with extensive explicatory glosses in Kanuri Ajami. It has two parts. The first is Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ’s work dealing with tawḥīd (oneness of God), the five pillars of Islam, the attributes of Allāh, the articles of faith, and elaborated notes on the characteristics of the Almighty God. The second part of the work deals with anger, anxiety, and depression. It provides words of wisdom on how to manage, control and eradicate these conditions. Both parts (tawḥīd and anger management) are written as poems. It is unclear whether the author of the first part is the same as author of the second part. The manuscript reflects the long history of Islamic scholarship in Kanem-Borno. The manuscript is unbound, complete, easy to read, and has no damaged pages.

    The presence of secondary compounds has been recognized to have a profound effect upon both the nutritive and feeding value of foods. These effects are beneficial in some instances. In this study, a steroid saponin known as diosgenin and condensed tannin from Musa x paradisiaca flower were evaluated for its potential efficacy in accelerating growth rate of Sprague Dawley suckling pups. Nutrients composition of milk collected from the nursing rats using a modified mechanical device after an injection of oxytoxin were also determined. Pups growth rates (g/day) for all treatments groups were measured as the slope of the regression of y = pup weight versus x = day of lactation. Pups growth rate was significantly improved for the groups treated with the aqueous and diosgenin extract in which the equation are y = 1.871x – 0.271 and y = 1.712x + 2.059, compared to negative control, metochlopramide and tannin which are y = 1.434x + 2.221, y = 1.349x + 3.602 and y = 1.221x + 5.397, respectively. The proximate value in dry weight basis of milk showed that it contains of moisture, fat, protein, ash and carbohydrate of 4.179 – 5.739 %, 36.248 – 45.563 %, 30.323 – 34.293 %, 6.52 - 8.451 % and 10.475 – 16.751 %, respectively. High protein content measured in milk of diosgenin extract group suggests a possible effect of the extract in improving growth rate of the suckling pups

    Intellectual property laws and Islam in Malaysia.

    No full text
    PhDThis study is undertaken on the premise that Islam and Islamic law is to be taken into serious consideration in any future legislative reform of laws in Malaysia. Islam being the religion of the country and the strong religious sentiment of the Muslims (who form the majority in Malaysia) cannot be overlooked or dismissed lightly by the legislators in Malaysia. Reformation of intellectual property laws is timely, as we are now approaching to the dateline set by GATF-Trips agreement which aim is to improve our standard of intellectual property protection. This study seeks to analyze and evaluate the current legislation pertaining to intellectual property in Malaysia in terms of the philosophy and rules governing the existence, ownership and exercise of these rights and their consistency and inconsistency with Islam and Islamic law. The main objective of this study is to prove that a coherent and logical conceptual framework of ownership of intellectual property can be derived from an Islamic perspective which not only offers the basis of rights but also defines the scope of these rights. From the point of ownership of rights, support can be obtained from the normative framework of property rights within the traditional classification of 'mal' (property) and 'haqq al-milkiyyah' (ownership rights) under Islamic law. From the point of exercise of rights, the exact scope can be defined from the analysis of fundamental concepts which have been developed by Muslim jurists. It has been established that Islam and Islamic law offers a sound and systematic paradigm, which in deeper analysis, can satisfy both our current obligations under international treatises, as well as our responsibility to practise our religion to the fullest
