| Abstract

Tafsīr is a very important aspect of the Qur’ānic science in the sense that it deals with exposition of the context, contents of the Qur’ān and its intent. The obligation of explaining the Qur’ān in order to bring its understanding to the people was first imposed on the messenger of Allah, Muhammad (saw). Thereafter, following the demise of the Prophet, the Ṣaḥābah took up the duty and then their followers who had immeasurably contributed to the dissemination of the subject to the universe via the emergence of various types of Tafsīr. One of the books of Tafsīr works that emerged during the 7th century of Islam is that of Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi-Bakr Ibn Farah Al- Anşāri, al- Khazraji Al- Andalūsi Al- Qurṭubī titled: Al- Jāmicu li Aḥkāmi’l- Qur’ān. This research work, therefore, is a study of Al- Qurṭubī's legal expositions as contained in his Tafsīr on selected social vices prevalent in Nigeria. The objectives of this study are to: identify some social vices prevalent in Nigeria; show the Qur’ānic legal rulings on these social vices; discuss Al- Qurṭubī’s legal expositions on the social vices; and study Al- Qurṭubī’s methods in his Tafsīr rendition on the social vices. The work adopted exegetical, historical and analytical research methods with comparative approach. This is because the study requires interpreting and analyzing the information collected from the consulted sources. The instruments used in gathering information on the study were consultation of literatures on the subject through the use of libraries and internet. The work discovered that the penalties given in the Nigerian Constitution for these vices only serve the purpose of punishment and not that of deterrence; and that the existing laws in the Nigerian Constitutions are not adequate enough to curb the commission of these social vices. That is the reason the vices are still rampant in the Nigerian society with reports of their commission flooding the pages of Newspapers on daily basis. One other major finding revealed by this study is the comprehensive nature of the Islamic legal (Sharicah) provisions which embrace all spheres of legal adjudications in man's life. Finally, the study has revealed that Al- Qurṭubī’s claim that his Tafsīr work is legal based as depicted in its title “Al Jāmicu li Aḥkāmi’l- Qur'ān” is a genuine claim. The study in its conclusion has brought to limelight the sublime qualities of the Qur’ān via the expositions given by Al- Qurṭubī in his Tafsīr, and offered panacea and remedies in curbing the social vices to the barest minimum if not completely eradicated.
