520 |a Political participation is generally perceived to be voluntary activities undertaken by the masses to influence public policy, directly or indirectly. Such activities include voting during elections, political campaign, education, petitioning, protesting etc. But the situation in Lagos State seems to be different as particular activities such as vote buying, imposition of candidate and political thuggery to mention but a few, clustered into the political participatory processes. The situation has not only changedthe resident’s perception of democracy, but drawn the attention of concernedindividuals as well as corporate organizations on how lives of innocent citizens residing within the state are lost in numbers during electioneering processes. This paper therefore investigatedthe causes of political violence and its negative consequences on Lagos residents. Further, it examinedthe efficacy of Islamic approachtowards reducing the menace of political crises in Lagos State. The paper employedhistorical and contextual analysis of relevant literatures and information using the Qur’an and traditions of the noble Prophet (saw). It also x-rayed the potential of Islamic guidelinesas a nostrum in curbing the problem of misconstrued democracy and political participation. Thus, the paper showedthat the natural causes of socio-political violence among the political participants should be eliminated with the help of Islamic principlesand socially oriented policies. It therefore recommended theestablishment ofIslamic principles of electioneering, promoting and sustaining a free, fair and acceptable election results.
