Abstract: The study intends to find out whether Muslim parents who acquire some level of formal Islamic education perceive the causes of child abuse different from those who did not acquire any formal Islamic education. Results from the questionnaires distributed indicated that the greatest cause of child abuse among Muslim parents in Keffi was poverty and lack of Islamic education. The paper recommended that the government should come to the aid of the masses by improving their lots economically as this would go a long way in reducing not only their sufferings but also their proneness to practice child abuse.
