The Hisbah institution has continued to play a vital role in promoting moral discipline, guiding young people, and maintaining peace within communities, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
DR. Aminu Daurawa said, Hisbah is an organization established to promote good conduct in society while ensuring adherence to religious teachings and social norms. Through its activities, the body contributes significantly to correcting societal behaviors and strengthening community values.
One of the major roles of Hisbah is moral reformation through public awareness and counseling. Hisbah officials regularly educate members of the public on the importance of honesty, respect for one another, and the need to avoid social vices such as drug abuse, theft, and violent behavior. This effort helps in building a morally responsible society.

These programs encourage youths to stay away from activities that could negatively affect their future.
In addition, Hisbah helps maintain peace within communities by mediating disputes and discouraging actions that could lead to conflict or unrest. By promoting dialogue, mutual understanding, and respect among community members, the body helps strengthen peaceful coexistence.
Observers say Hisbah’s activities remain important for social stability, as they contribute to moral discipline, youth guidance, and the preservation of peace.
