Abstract
Eradication of social vices has been the watchword of every religion, including the government in order to have a peaceful environment that is habitable for every citizen. However, despite all the measures taken by the concerned people of Nigeria, many still remain paperwork. Thus, there is a need for another approach towards eradicating social vices. Therefore, this paper aims at utilising the religious cum spiritual approach of Zakariyya‘s Fa???il-Acm?l to suggest solutions to the problem of some social vices in Nigeria through inferences and reflections. The methodology employed is analytical. The study revealed that the implementation of the reflections inferred from the religio-spiritual discussion of Zakariyya will enhance the eradication of social vices to the barest minimum. The paper concluded that despite the book being solely compiled as a book of virtues, it equally pari passu takes care of various facets of life and is, therefore, capable of eradicating social vices if implemented.
