| 520 | |a There have been claims that Nigeria is a secular state or multi-religious nation, and an advocacy that the State should be separated from religion. The influence of religion in democracy and partisan politics continued to be a recurring decimal as Nigeria transitsfrom one political dispensation to the other. It is within these diverse assertions that what is termed political Islam is considered the appropriate model while others insist that Islam and Democracy are two parallel lines. It is on this background that this paper investigated the opinions of Islamic scholars on political Islam,Democracy and involvement of Muslims in Ogun State in Nigerian Democracy. It also reviewed the divergent scriptural interpretations of the Islamic scholars on political participation. This paper adopted a survey research design to obtain data from selected Islamic scholars and Muslims in Ogun State in order to answer the research questions. The Islamic scholars and Muslims were selected from the three Senatorial districts (Ogun Central, East and West) in Ogun State. Questionnaires were distributed to members of the League of Imams and Alfas as well as the scholars and Muslims from selected Islamic Societies in Ogun State. The study is significant as it offers stakeholders the opportunity to understand the dynamics of Muslims' participation or non-participation in the political process. It will also enable them to understand the thoughts of the scholars on the phenomenon as a way of providing an intellectual basis on which the knotty issues around Islam and Democracy would be better understood, practically dissected and possibly resolved. | ||
