God has made man the best of creatures. The main reason for this perfection and rise is the good manners that humans are characterized by good manners are what distinguish human beings from other creatures. Along with this, good morals are the source of human survival and his religious and worldly welfare. In the religion of Islam, there is a lot of emphasis on good manners, because the Muslims gained power and ascendancy in the world through good morals and achieved success in their later life as well. Good morals are not only a means of flourishing in this world but also a guarantee of success in the hereafter. Allah Almighty has declared good conduct as a means of obtaining reward and reward. That is, just as other acts of worship are the cause of reward and reward, in the same way, good morals are also the cause of reward and reward. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that the owner of good morals attains the position of Saim al-Dhar and Qaim al-Lail. Today, it is necessary to practice good morals as well as promote them in the society, so that the Muslim Ummah can regain its lost dignity and honour.

اقبال اور عقیدۂ ختم ِ نبوت کی عصری معنویت

Dr. Arshid Iqbal Naeemi, Ghulam Hussain — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Finality of prophethood is the fundamental belief of Islam. Its position in the Islamic belief system is just like that of the soul in body. According to Sahib Al-Lisaan al-Arab, the word “Khatam” means: “Covering something and encompassing it in such a way that nothing can enter it from the outside."It is an indubitable fact that no prophet will come after Holy Prophet Mohammad (ﷺ). Several verses of the Holy Qur'an, a number of ahadith, the consensus of the Muslim Ummah as well as practices of Muslims bear an irrefutable testimony to this fact. After Him (ﷺ), no new prophet (in any form or perspective) and no breach in the wall of the citadel of prophethood was accepted by the Ummah, by word or deed. From the Battle of Yamama to this day, the Ummah has sacrificed thousands of lives to protect this sacred belief. The finality of prophethood is, indeed, a great blessing of Allah Almighty. Apart from matters settled through revelation, human intellect is free in all other matters. Today, all human beings are free to solve their problems in the light of revelation as well as their wisdom and intellect. In this article, the necessity of prophethood, the negation of any new type of form of prophethood and the affirmation of the belief of the finality of prophethood will be discussed in the light of the Holy Qur'an, a hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the views of Iqbal.

Economy has a lot of importance in human life and no society or ideology can ignore it. Islam has given comprehensive principles to human beings in this chapter. If we study the biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him) from the economic and financial aspect, it is clear that the Prophet (peace be upon him) has given us very comprehensive teachings from both theoretical and practical aspects. From the Prophet's biography, we know that in the case of exclusion from economic and economic activities, not only will it be difficult to fulfil the rights of Allah and the rights of the servants, but also the risk of dispersal of collective life increases. For economic stability, some responsibilities are imposed on the individuals of the society while some responsibilities are imposed on the government of the time. In this regard, it is important for the members of the society to make maximum efforts to keep the wealth safe so that this wealth can be spent as per the need in the future. Moreover, the members of the society should be moderate in spending money on their needs. Apart from this, it is also important to adopt legitimate means to acquire wealth. In order to create economic stability, it is also important that the wages of the labourers are paid immediately after the work is done so that the labourers can easily meet their needs. It is the responsibility of the government of the time not to let any member of the society remain free. It should be mandatory for every individual to learn some skill and work hard to improve their economy. Moreover, hoarding should be strictly prohibited at the time of shortage of anything. In order to meet the needs of the deprived people of society, the government should provide financial support to them from time to time until they are able to earn a living. In this article, all these matters have been explained in the light of seerah (peace be upon him).

Islamic values recorded the most impressions on the collective and individual level in the human universe. The influence of Islamic scientific and moral values on Western civilization is significant and clear. There is no aspect of European civilization and moral values that is not definitely influenced by Islamic civilization. It is an indisputable historical fact that darkness covered Europe in the Middle Ages. When the rays of Islamic civilization fell on the dark civilization of Europe, the radiant light of Islamic moral values only freed their minds from myths. As a result, they were freed from the humiliating and tyrannical monarchy of the Church and moved towards freedom. The paper examines the impact of Islamic moral values

on Western society.

روایت ،جدت اورجدیدت: فکراسلامی کےتناظرمیں

Dr. Ahmed Raza — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ are the source of Islamic thought. The Holy Qur'an is the word of Allah Almighty, in which tradition is spoken in such a way that a historical continuity is seen in it. There is a mention of the innovation obtained through research and effort. It is also found in the verses of the Holy Qur'an in which wisdom and conquest are discussed. Western intellectuals talked about modernity and post-modernity, which means rationalism. That is, accepting everything on the basis of reason. If any concept, belief, theory, opinion and action does not come within the scope of reason, it should be rejected, whether it is related to faith or religion. In this paper, tradition, innovation and modernity have been described in the context of Islamic and Western thought.

If, on one hand, 20th century has turned out to be a symbol of advancements, then on the other hand it has also proved to be a birth place of a multitude of miseries and problems. In the 20th century, the rise in publishing of books led the knowledge and wisdom to the acme of excellence and brought the whole world in harmony. Europe, Africa, Asia and America seemed to walk a long way on the road to prosperity. When knowledge and wisdom became deeply rooted in the society then the progress of commerce and industry also became a constant factor. Although the life of prophet (PBUH) was deeply studied through the ages, but it was again the 20th century that shined brightly in this aspect too. Many Muslims and Non- Muslims scholars also penned down a lot of work on the Seerah of Muhammad (PBUH). As a result of, the refined form of Seerah writing appeared before the world. Seerah writing, like other branches of knowledge, came under the influence of modern age and witnessed many improvements. It was particularly influenced by the unique political environment of Indo-Pak subcontinent. These influences have been discussed in this article.

رحمت اللہ کیرانوی اور ثناءاللہ امرتسری کے مطالعہ مسیحیت کے مناہج:تقابلی تجزیہ

Muhammad Mustafa Iqbal, Dr Muhammad Hamid Raza — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

After the War of Independence of 1857, when the British occupied India, an army of Christian priests and missionaries joined them to maintain this colonialism and started influencing the local Muslim population with their Christian beliefs. In this situation, the Muslim scholars, realizing the fragility of the time, prevented this invasion of Christianity with the weapon of speech and writing, and not only did they bind themselves to this growing trend of Christianity, but they also fought it firmly. The scholars of that time certainly deserve praise, for they not only fought the false beliefs of these missionaries and priests in the field of knowledge but also proved the truth and superiority of Islam against them. Maulana Rehmatullah Keranvi and Maulana Sanaullah Amritsari are among those who have done a very high level of work against this invasion of Christianity. These two personalities wrote and spoke in their own way for the rejection and defense of Christianity and Islam, and they also debated with Christian priests. These scholars not only defended Islam through their writings, speeches, and debates but also countered the false beliefs of Christian missionaries and priests through argument and burhan. It proved the biblical distortion with arguments, rejected the false belief in the divinity of Christ, and effectively defended the Prophet Muhammad. Both of them fought the rising storm of Christianity with their writings and speeches and defended Islam in such a way that the truth and falsehood were illuminated like a mirror.

چائلڈ میرج کی ممانعت: وفاقی شرعی عدالت کے دلائل کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abdul Majeed, Dr. Humayun Abbas — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The role of the Federal Sharia Court in the history of Islamization of laws in Pakistan is very important. The Federal Shariah Court has not only played an important role in Islamizing the laws but also has been a key position of the respected court in interpreting the Islamic laws and making them compatible with the society. The minimum age for a girl to marry in Pakistan is sixteen years. The marriage of a girl below this age is prohibited by law. Scholars in this matter are divided into two classes. One side insists on calling it a purely religious issue while the other side considers it a purely social issue. The decision of the Federal Sharia Court on this case was issued some time ago. This decision has given a new dimension to academic research. In this decision, the honorable court, reasoning from the basic principles of Islamic jurisprudence, has declared the law of prohibition of child marriage prevalent in Pakistan to be in accordance with Sharia. In this paper, the arguments established by the honorable court will be analyzed and an attempt will be made to find out on what grounds the reasoning of the court is based. To what extent is the dimension considered by the court's reasoning correct? Is the argument made by the court logical? Is there mutual uniformity in the reasoning of the court and the conclusion drawn from it? Also, these issues will be marked in the paper which can be used as a basis to move towards the solution of this problem.

اسلام کی معاشرتی تعلیمات کا دیگر آسمانی مذاہب سے تقابلی جائزہ

Khadija Bibi, Dr. Muhammad Shahid Habib , Mazhar Hussain Bhadroo — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Islamic social teachings, like those of other religions, emphasize the importance of treating others with kindness, generosity, and respect. These teachings often include principles such as helping the needy, promoting economic fairness, and striving for peaceful coexistence. In Islam, concepts like "Zakat" (charitable giving) and "Sadaqah" (voluntary charity) encourage Muslims to support those in need and contribute to the well-being of society. The Quran and Hadith also stress the value of honesty, integrity, and compassion in interactions with others. Similarly, other religions have their own teachings that align with these values. For instance, Christianity emphasizes the importance of loving one's neighbor, caring for the marginalized, and seeking justice for all. Buddhism promotes concepts of empathy, non-violence, and detachment from material desires, which can contribute to social harmony. While each religion has its unique teachings, the common thread is the call to create a just, compassionate, and harmonious society, where individuals strive to uplift each other and contribute positively to the world around them. Islam, like other religions, has its unique teachings that differentiate it from other faiths. Some key differences include its beliefs about monotheism (the belief in one God), the role of Muhammad as the final prophet, the importance of the Quran as the holy book, the practice of praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and the concept of zakat (charitable giving). While there are similarities in ethical teachings among various religions, these distinct aspects set Islam apart from others like Christianity and Judaism. Remember, though, that religions are complex and diverse, and there can be variations in beliefs and practices within each one. Islamic social teachings share common themes with other religions in terms of promoting compassion, justice, and ethical behavior. Concepts like caring for the less fortunate, respecting human dignity, and fostering harmony among people are shared across various faiths, including Islam. While there are differences in practices and beliefs, the overarching goal of creating a just and equitable society is a common thread that runs through many religious teachings.

قرض اور بیع سے متعلقہ کرنسی کے مسائل اور شرعی احکام :فقہاء کی آراء کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

There is no doubt that Islam is a universal constitution; it is a religion that corresponds to the circumstances and requirements of all times, and the phrase includes the commandments of the sphere of life. There are instructions in Islam regarding the sphere of life. In human society, the status of "money" for mutual transactions is like that of a backbone; instead, it is the backbone of mutual affairs. This paper is about Zakat and trade issues regarding Currency. Zakat is payable on strong debts, i.e. money that is owed to you that you are confident will be paid. This may include personal loans to friends and family. This does not include outstanding wages, dowry, inheritance or assets held in trust (other than assets held under a Bare Trust). Trading is not haram, provided that there is 1) no interest element, 2) trades are conducted “hand to hand”, and 3) the stocks, commodities, or currencies purchased do not offend against the tenets of Islam. With the emergence of modern forms of currency, new problems are arising in terms of currency. The important need of the present age is to bring forward the opinions of contemporary jurists regarding these problems and their interpretation in the light of the Qur'an, Sunnah and Islam.

تحقيق رأي الحنفية في المسلم المسيء إلى الرسول ﷺ -دراسة فقهية نقدية

Dr. Asadullah — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The jurists have disagreement on the issue of blasphemer, after their consensus that a Muslim blasphemer must be given death punishment because of his kufr and apostasy. But if he repents, then they have disagreement on the issue of his punishment. It is narrated from the earlier Hanafi jurists that blasphemy by a Muslim amount to apostasy in which repentance obliterates the capital punishment. Contrarily, the later Hanafi jurists maintained that repentance does not obliterate the Hadd punishment and it shall be awarded. Ibn Abdin al-Shami, a renowned later Hanafi jurist, however, asserts that it was al-Bazzazi to have had this position who was followed by the later jurists without critically evaluating the principles of the Hanafi School to discern whether this position is in line with the principles set by the eponym founder of the school. This work is devoted to expound the standard Hanafi position on the issue of Muslim Blasphemer. It examines different views maintained by the Hanafi jurists along with the corollaries flowing from them. The work, notably, aims to disclose the effective cause as determined by Hanafi school, to streamline all the legal rules regulating the blasphemy issue.

Misconceptions Over Gender Inequalities in Islamic Law and Pakistan: A Comparative Analysis

Dr. Sohaib Mukhtar, Malieka Farah Deeba, Ahmad Talha — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Misconceptions related to inequalities between male and female persons in Pakistan are existed in the mind of people around the World. People think that theses existing inequalities are linked with Islamic Law and its strict principles laid down in verses of Holy Quran and traditions of Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The fact is that inequalities exist in Pakistani society between male and female not because of strict principles of Islamic Law but because of feudal mindset and because of low literacy rate and lack of knowledge. Islamic Law does not create inequalities between male and female persons as it is misunderstood by the majority and also is badly portrayed by the people who portray themselves as true followers of Islamic Law which actually is incorrect. Apart from feudal mindset and low literacy rate, the Government of Pakistan is duty bound under 34 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973 to create good atmosphere for all and ensure full participation of women in all spheres of life but it is unsuccessful to create a friendly atmosphere for women. Low literacy rate in Pakistan is not because of religion as Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stated that seeking knowledge and education is compulsory for every believer (whether man or woman). It is also emphasized under Constitution of Pakistan 1973 thus it is quite unfair to blame the State of Pakistan and Islamic Law for gender inequalities in Pakistan as both the verses of Holy Quran, traditions of Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Constitution of Pakistan 1973 emphasize on equality before law without discrimination, therefore negative propaganda against Islamic Law and the State of Pakistan should be stopped and the World is required to help the Government of Pakistan to eliminate inequalities and to promote education throughout Pakistan without discrimination as to gender, race, religion, place of birth.

Theory of Human Evolution and Social Reconstruction by Shah Waliullah

Shahid Rasheed, Humaira Ahmad — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Shah Waliullah sees society as sui generis which means society is distinct from individuals but he does not take the extreme position of ignoring human agency. Societal structures definitely influence human behavior but at the same time there are human beings who change and challenge the existing structures. Shah Waliullah has advanced two important theories of social dynamics. Firstly, his theory of evolution and secondly, his theory of revolution. In his theory of social evolution, he has described four phases through which human civilization has passed, for which he has used the term of irtifaqat. First stage of this social journey refers to a simple nomadic society in which people are able to satisfy their physical needs along with some early forms of social solidarity. Second stage refers to a relatively settled and developed society in which people have been able to manage their affairs of economic life, domestic life and occupational life. Third stage refers to a city-state in which the political organization has become a central feature of society and is responsible for administering the affairs of state. Fourth stage refers to a confederacy or commonwealth of city-states in which different city-states join for peaceful co-existence. This article aims to discuss the thoughts of Shah Waliullah on social dynamics and discusses his theory of evolution. It also discusses all the phases of human civilization in detail, explains its features and characteristics and provides an in-depth analysis of Shah Waliullah’s work on social dynamics and evolution of human society. The article also discusses his theory of social reconstruction, the social pathologies and the strategies that he proposed in his writings.
