| Summary: | Social vicesin Nigeria, especially among the youths, culminated into difference cases of crimes; ritual killings for money, prostitutions, and other licentious behaviours, obviously due to ill education, improper training, and negligence of the parents right from childhood. This paper examinedthe concept of Islamic education, in solving socio-political vices, in relation to educational system, as wellascreate avenues for knowledge and understanding of religious educational values in Nigeria. It is observed that lack of inculcation of God’s consciousness in the society is the basis of these socio-political problems. This work is library based, the archival documents, academic works, and views of scholars on the concept of Islamic education were explored to regulate these social vices and establish religious educational values in reshaping social engagement in Nigeria. The paper argued that religious education remains the best solution to Nigeria’s socio-political problems and the Islamic education has laid down concepts that serve as a good advantage both in this present world and the hereafter. The paper therefore concluded that teachers and parents should be well informed of their duties to children, based on divine instructions and guidance, so that children would grow up to become responsible adults and pious leaders, that would be reflective in the country’s socio-political activities and engagements. |
