Abstract

This study explores the relationship between Islam and human dignity in Africa, focusing on Islamic teachings on social justice, human rights, and ethical issues. It examines how Islam has influenced African conceptions and practices of human dignity, highlighting the obstacles to dignity and the effective ways Islamic values have been applied. The study provides theoretical advances in Islamic ethics, African societies, and human dignity, offering a framework for understanding human dignity in Africa from an Islamic perspective. It also highlights the challenges and possibilities for enhancing human dignity in African communities where Muslims predominate. The study encourages cooperation between Muslim and non-Muslim communities to find solutions to dignity-threatening issues.
