Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Theology - Islamic theology, course: LANGUAGES SECTION, language: English, abstract: The concept of change has, of recent, become a mantra echoed in all areas of life in this part of the world. The reason for this development could be hinged on the emphasis laid on different aspects of change by various theoretical schools like that of Marxist. Thus, as a social change evolves from a number of different sources, this paper aims at examining the Hijāb as an instrument of change among the Yoruba Muslims. This will take into accounts, various controversies that trail the use of Hijāb in the Muslims folk and pragmatically unveil its inherent values which could be explored to enthrone a change in the social system of especially the Yoruba Muslims. Purposive sampling technique will be used in selecting twenty-five (25) Muslims-scholars and non- scholars for interviews, from eight notable Muslim organizations of Zumrah al-Mu'minīn, Izālatul-Bid'ah wa Iqāmatus-Sunnah, Tablīgh Brotherhood, Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN), The Muslim Congress (TMC), Ta'āwun al-Muslimīn, Tijāniyyah and Qādiriyyah Sufi Orders, on some social related issues on the Hijāb.
