The findings highlight the pervasive role of religion in shaping the nation’s political discourse, social values, and economic stability. The conclusion emphasizes the positive impact of religion on the balance of power equilibrium in Nigeria, underscoring the need for tolerance and dialogue to harness the benefits of religious diversity.","PeriodicalId":517094,"journal":{"name":"IAA Journal of Arts and Humanities","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139895185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a qualitative method, the research was anchored on the sociological theory of religion. Despite acknowledging the existence of social inequity and political unrest stemming from the relationship between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria, the study argued that both faiths still advocate for harmony through religious tolerance and enlightenment. Key findings suggest that while religious conflicts persist, there is a shared belief in the potential for harmony through religious tolerance and enlightenment. The study concludes with recommendations for religious leaders to promote peaceful coexistence and unity among adherents.","PeriodicalId":517094,"journal":{"name":"IAA Journal of Arts and Humanities","volume":"20 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139894889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
