معاشی دنیا: مسلم امہ کے بعض ماہرین معاشیات کی نظر میں
This research by having a short review of current “economic world and Muslim Ummah” discusses the present modern economic challenge. Economics is a worldwide problem. Its significance is understandable for every country۔In a country, the trade and market survive on the basis of economic. To Muslims, it includes Halal / lawful things whereas, to non-Muslims it includes essential items without any constraint of being Halal. The country that makes progress economically will better rule in the world; and people of this country will be prosperous. In such countries most of the social evils either do not exist or their ratio is low. A Muslim naturally raises question as to why we still face poverty and economic decline despite the fact that we are rich in resources. There are many reasons for this decline but the big reason is lack of education and research. Western governments have reserved all their resources for research work. In developed countries, every institute, university and company has a research center or lab attached to it, which is helpful in earning billions of dollar for the country. On the contrary, Muslim countries does not provide their scholars such facilities, therefore progress and economic growth is slow. Inductive methodology will be used in this research.

ہندومت کے تصور جونی چکر اور اسلام کے عقیدہ آخرت کا تقابلی جائزہ
This paper presents a comparative study of two distinct eschatological beliefs: the concept of the jūnī chakkar (cycle of rebirth) in Hinduism and the belief in the Ākhirah (afterlife) in Islam. Hinduism perceives the soul (ātman) as eternal, trapped in a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsāra), influenced by one’s deeds (karma). This cycle continues until the soul achieves moksha (liberation), which is seen as union with the supreme reality (Brahman), thus ending the cycle of reincarnation. On the other hand, Islam teaches that the soul is created by Allah and lives only one worldly life. After death, it enters a phase of Barzakh until the Day of Judgment, when all souls will be resurrected. Salvation (Najāt) in Islam is based on correct faith (ʿAqīdah), righteous deeds (ʿAmāl-i-Ṣāliḥah), and ultimately, the mercy of Allah. The Islamic worldview emphasizes accountability, divine justice, and a linear concept of time and existence, unlike the cyclical notion found in Hinduism. This research highlights the fundamental theological, philosophical, and moral differences between the two worldviews. It also explores how these beliefs influence ethical behavior, social structures, and individual perspectives on suffering, responsibility, and purpose in life. The study concludes that while both religions address the soul’s journey and ultimate destiny, their foundational premises differ profoundly in terms of time, divine nature, and the means to salvation.

سیرتِ طیبہؐ کی روشنی میں سیاسی، معاشی و سماجی چیلنجز کا حل
The contemporary world is facing an array of complex political, economic, and social crises, such as international conflicts, financial injustice, moral decline, inequality, and the erosion of human values. This study explores how the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Sīrah al-Ṭayyibah) offers timeless guidance and practical solutions to these global challenges. The Prophetic model, rooted in justice, mercy, and ethical governance, presents a comprehensive framework that is applicable to both individual and collective spheres. Politically, the Prophet’s strategies, such as the Constitution of Madinah and his diplomatic missions, exemplify inclusive governance, interfaith coexistence, and international engagement. Economically, the Sīrah promotes a just and interest-free system emphasizing partnership (muḍārabah, mushārakah), wealth redistribution (zakāh, ṣadaqah, inheritance), and ethical trade practices. Socially, the Sīrah addresses issues such as gender equity, minority rights, moral development, and community harmony, offering a model of human dignity and social justice. Furthermore, the study highlights the urgency of implementing Prophetic teachings in modern educational curricula, media, and policymaking, urging the Muslim world to revive the Sīrah not merely as a historical narrative but as a living, actionable system of life. By internalizing the moral and structural elements of the Sīrah, the Muslim Ummah can rebuild itself as a model of ethical civilization in a world searching for meaning, justice, and stability.

نظم قرآن سے متعلق مولانا اصلاحیؒ اور جمہور کے نظریات کا تقابلی مطالعہ
The concept of Nazm al-Qur'an (coherence in the Qur'an) has been a subject of scholarly debate among Islamic scholars. This article presents a comparative analysis of the perspectives of Mawlana Amin Ahsan Islahi and the majority of classical exegetes (Jumhur Mufassirin) regarding Nazm al-Qur'an. While both Islahi and the majority of scholars acknowledge the significance of coherence in the Qur'an, differences emerge in their conceptualization and application. Islahi asserts that Nazm al-Qur'an is definitive (qat'i), whereas the majority of scholars consider it speculative (zanni). Furthermore, Islahi assigns Nazm al-Qur'an a fundamental role in interpretation, making it the primary framework, whereas classical scholars regard it as one of several interpretive principles rather than the central one. A key distinction is Islahi’s subordination of external sources, such as Hadith, Asbab al-Nuzul, and reports from the Companions and Successors, to the coherence of the Qur'an. In contrast, classical exegetes incorporate all interpretive sources without strictly subordinating them to Nazm al-Qur'an. This comparative study highlights the epistemological and methodological differences that shape their approaches to Qur'anic interpretation.

محدثین کا ذوق ِ تصوف۔تحقیقی و تجزیاتی مطالعہ
Across every epoch of Islamic world, eminence scholars (A’immah) have reviltalized the spirit of Islam through groundbreaking thought, theological insight, and transformative writings. These luminaries mastered diverse Islamic disciplines, distinguishing themselves as Qur’anic exegetes (Mufassirīn), jurists (Fuqahāʾ), independent legal authorities (Mujtahidīn), hadith masters (Muhaddithīn), scholastic theologians (mutakallimīn), and linguistic pioneers. Over time, these scholars were categorized by specialization. Among them emerged a unique cohort: hadith scholars (Muhaddithīn) with a pronounced Sufi orientation. Countering the prevalent assumption that hadith scholars focused exclusively on external sciences while avoiding Sufism, however, the reality is contrary to this. They were deeply engaged whether directly or indirectly through intellectual lineage with Sufi thought and its practitioners. They championed ascetic rigor (zuhd) and mystical wisdom (ʿirfān), while maintaining formal initiation into Sufi orders (Sāḥib al-Khirqah). This article provides a list of these hadith scholars who were also Sufis. This study also demonstrates that many eminent Muhaddithīn maintained strong Sufi affiliations and through meticulous documentation of figures like Al-Hakim Al-Nishapuri, Abu Nu‘aym Al-Isfahani, Al-Qastallani, Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, and Al-Suyuti and others. It critically examines their mystical tendencies and institutional connections to Sufi traditions.

فتاوی نوریہ میں "العادۃ محکمۃ" سے استدلال کا منھج
This study delves into the jurisprudential methodology adopted in Fatāwā Nūriyyah, with a particular focus on the principle of al-‘Ādah al-Muḥakkamah — the maxim that recognized custom holds authoritative status in Islamic law. The research analyzes how Mufti Noor Ullah Naeemi, a renowned Hanafi jurist of the Indian subcontinent, incorporated local and prevailing customs into his legal reasoning and fatwas. By examining selected rulings from Fatāwā Nūriyyah, the study illustrates the criteria under which a custom is considered valid (sahih) and binding (muḥakkam) within the framework of the Hanafi school.The paper also discusses the balance maintained between normative Islamic texts and societal practices, highlighting the flexibility embedded in the Hanafi legal tradition. It sheds light on the role of ‘ādah in addressing novel issues, especially in the absence of explicit textual evidence. The research concludes that Mufti Noor Ullah’s methodology exemplifies a pragmatic yet principled application of Islamic jurisprudence, ensuring legal relevance across changing cultural and temporal contexts.This exploration contributes to contemporary Islamic legal discourse by reaffirming the significance of contextual and customary considerations in fatwa-giving, particularly in pluralistic societies.

قربانی کے دن سنت ابراہیمی کی مشروعیت اورایام قربانی کی تعیین میں فقہاء کااختلاف امام قرطبی کی فقہی تحقیقات کی روشنی میں
Sacrifice is the Sunnah of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and it is celebrated in the memory of Hazrat Ismail and it is obligatory upon the Muslims. This Sunnah will be fulfilled by slaughtering animals. In this regard, the view of some jurists is that this sacrifice is only special with the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, so the animal will be slaughtered on the same day, and some have said three days, some have said four days, and some have said that the sacrifice is valid for six days. The ruling on the validity and legitimacy of the sacrifice is different, so in the light of this difference, this topic is very important. In this article, an attempt has been made to solve this jurisprudential issue.

Curbing the Menace of Sectarianism in Pakistan: A Securitization Model Perspective
Islam has been, as much, a force of unity, as of dis-unity. With a multi-faceted ethnically driven society, Pakistan is home to many religions and sects. The basic principles on which the state stands tall; the ideology of Pakistan, is challenged every single time when masses are strangled to death over radicalization and extremism rooted by sectarianism. This article gives an in-depth analysis of religious extremism as an impetus to sectarian violence that has dismantled the social fabric of the state. This paper figures out the dichotomy underpinning correlation of sectarianism with the political identity of the state. Contingent upon the qualitative methodology and primary as well as secondary sources of data collection, the paper intends to shed light upon the internal dynamics and role of external players, adding fuel to fire, in this grave threat to the security of the state. The geo-strategic threats and the polarization of Shia Sunni conflict have taken a massive turn after the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the promotion of Wahabi/Salafist movement by Saudi Arabia as well as the intrusion of hard-line religious groups of Afghanistan in the internal politics of the country. A grave threat imposed on the state and its security through the suicide attacks at mosques and Imambarghas targeting either sect has led the country into the pit of sectarian divide. Under the lens of Buzan’s notion of security, and the securitization theory, this paper unveils the reasons to securitize the issue of sectarianism. The paper extends to look deep into the correlation of political identity and the rising sectarian violence with the failure of policies to curb sectarian conflicts. Moreover, the reason for the failure to resolve the sectarian divide lies in the role of external factors that have only launched a proxy war in the country. The representation of policies to tackle the violence and extremism caused by the sectarian divide is the core purpose given by the author to determine the internal security threat of the country.

Poverty Alleviation and Economic Empowerment “Islamic Approaches to Poverty Alleviation Zakat and Wealth distribution’’
In Islam poverty alleviation and wealth distribution are central aspects of social justice with clear guidelines for addressing economic inequality. One of the most important mechanisms for this is Zakat a mandatory giving that is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Zakat is a form of wealth redistribution requiring Muslims who possess a certain amount of wealth to donate a portion usually 2.5%of their annual savings and assets to those in need. This obligation serves not only as a means to purify wealth but also as a way to support the less fortunate reduce poverty and foster a sense of solidarity within the community. Islamic teachings emphasize that wealth should not be hoarded or concentrated in the hands of a few. The Qur'an and Hadith underscore the importance of wealth circulation stating that it is meant to benefit society as a whole. In addition to Zakat, Islam encourages voluntary charitable acts (Sadaqah) and investments that promote economic welfare. The Islamic concept of Waqf (endowment) is another tool for poverty alleviation where individuals or institutions donate property or assets for perpetual charitable purposes such as building schools hospitals or providing microfinance to empower the poor. This paper explores the significance of Zakat as a key instrument of poverty alleviation in Islamic tradition, focusing on its theological foundations, legal implications, and practical applications. It also examines the distribution mechanisms prescribed in Islamic jurisprudence, which prioritize ensuring that aid reaches the most vulnerable, including the poor, orphans, widows, and those in debt. Furthermore, the study addresses the broader concept of Islamic social justice, which encourages wealth redistribution through voluntary charity (Sadaqah), ethical business practices, and social welfare systems. By analyzing the mechanisms and impact of Zakat, this paper highlights the Islamic commitment to poverty alleviation, emphasizing how the holistic approach to wealth and charity in Islam can offer sustainable solutions to contemporary poverty challenges. Through this lens, Islamic charity not only seeks to alleviate material deprivation but also aims to foster social cohesion and spiritual well-being within the community.

The Role of Islamic Scholar in Shaping Media Narratives
In the era of advance technology, media plays a crucial role in society. The vast audience of media cannot be refuged without either consideration.so we can’t forget media in this world of advancement where one statement of a person can change the prospective of a whole nation. Islamic scholars have played a significant role in shaping media narratives, particularly in the context of the Muslim world. Their influence extends beyond traditional religious teachings to include the interpretation of political, social and cultural issues through an Islamic lens. As media becomes an increasingly powerful tool in shaping public opinion scholars provide intellectual and moral guidance that helps frame discussions on key issues such as governance, ethics, social justice, and interfaith relations.In the digital age Islamic scholars engage with media through various platforms including social media, television, and podcasts where they address contemporary challenges facing Muslim communities and offer insights based on Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Theology (aqeedah) and history. They often intervene in debates on topics such as extremism, gender roles, and the relationship between Islam and modernity. By offering nuanced interpretations of Islamic teachings they can challenge misrepresentations of Islam and promote a more balanced understanding in global media narratives.Moreover, Islamic scholars can act as mediators between Western media and the Muslim world helping to bridge cultural gaps and reduce stereotypes. They contribute to the creation of media content that is both faithful to Islamic values and responsive to the needs of a rapidly changing world. In this way, they not only shape how Islam is portrayed in the media but also influence the broader discourse on global issues, advocating for peace, tolerance, and social harmony from an Islamic perspective.

"معین القضاة والمفتیین " میں ارکان نکاح سے متعلق دفعات کا تحقیقی و تنقیدی جائزہ
No doubt, lslam is the complete code of life, a divine gift to humanity from its creator.it is, infact, a collection of laws and principles that set it a part from other creations, such as animals. For instance the human being is an example of nature's perfection, and all Islamic laws align perfectly with the natural order. It is nearly impossible to find an example in any other legal or moral system that satisfies human emotions and needs as effectively as Islamic laws do. Take, for example the rulling on marriage. Islam provides guidelines to fulfill the natural requirements of humanity, preserving human dignity, nobility and addressing sexual needs in a respectful and organised manner. The demonstrats no other system has been able to present an alternative as comprehensive as Islam's over the course of fifteen centure.Although some reasercher or orthodox minded scholars criticise islamic laws often on the based on jealously their objection failed to hold merit even a novice and apprentice in the field of reaserch can recognize that these objection system from the lack of understanding or other rival reasons. Additionally, the constant need to revise man made laws every few years has become a challenge for legal expert underscoring the time less wisdom of Islamic principles. In concluding note, ylthe person who adheres to divine laws fulfills the natural requirements of humanity while maintaining the highest standards of moral and social excellence. Islamic law ensure that humanity remains noble and dignified, a testament to their divinely ordained perfection.

An Approach Towards Eradicating Environmental Pollution in the Context of Islamic Teachings
All praises are for Allah, the creator of the universe, who created it to be so charming, full of beauty and delicacy that anyone is stunned to see its splendor. Allah, the Lord of the universe, made the whole set of universe, the earth and the sky, a complete unity among both and kept the systems operating in it connected with each other. The environment which was created for mankind and its thriving existence is a splendid example of Allah’s creation and its protection is extremely important in the existence and survival of this universe. In view of this importance, Allah Almighty gave the children of Adam great blessings like green and lush mountains, valleys, gardens, charming vast seas, and blue skies. Allah Almighty made this planet a testing ground for human beings. Allah, the Exalted, granted this world to man and left it up to man to choose whether to make it a paradise or to make it a hell while living in it. The authority of both of them was superseded by the caste of Bani Adam and the advantages and disadvantages of both were also explained to human beings. The things around man, for example, birds, streams, trees, buildings, people together make the environment of man. And if all these things remain in accordance with natural principles and are utilized in a proper manner, then the human environment will remain in a better state. Finest examples of this conduct can be extracted from the Seerah of Holy Prophet (PBUH). He accentuated the fact that natural resources are not overexploited. He promoted and highlighted the practice of sustainable consumption and encouraged planting. But through the invention made by man in the course of history where the provision of facilities for human life became available, the natural environment changed. Due to this change, environmental pollution started and the map of the whole world changed. Current most dangerous and alarming environmental hazards include global warming, soil contamination, desertification and deforestation etc. Since the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ cover all aspects of human life, there is a need to remedy this environmental pollution by applying these Islamic teachings.

In this article, I will discuss whether parents of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) were Muslims or not and I will substantiate this discussion with evidence from the Quran, Hadith, and the work of reliable Islamic scholars like Mulla Ali Qari and Sayuti. Mullah Ali Quari is one of the most prominent and renowned scholar of the 11th century Hijri. He explains in his book Majmah Rasail that the prophet’s parents died before he converted to Islam, so he was not a Muslim.he gave arguments in the light of Imam Abu Hanifa’s fatwa, in which it has been said that the parents of the prophet died in disbelief. Quari supports his claim with Quranic verses and Hadith. Allama Sayuti says that the prophet’s parents were Muslims and they were saved by Allah with a special mercy. They say that although he died before the appearance of Islam, Allah saved him by His grace.

Social Tolerance with Non-Muslims and thoughts of Syed Attaullah Shah Bukhari (Analytical analysis in the light of the current Era)
Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Muslims respect the beliefs of others and treat them with kindness and justice. In the West, there is often a negative view of Islam, which is based on ignorance and prejudice. Muslims are often misunderstood and misrepresented in the media. The thought that Islam is a religion of intolerance and teaches bigotry toward other religions it is beyond reality. The fact is that it teaches tolerance to every human regardless of his/ her religion. Muslims are not allowed to convert anyone to Islam forcefully. Syed Attaullah Shah Bukhari was a Muslim scholar who always believed in social tolerance. He believed in the equality of religions and political systems around the world. His thoughts are sophisticated and applicable even in the current era. Syed Attaullah Shah Bukhari not only treated Muslims affectionately and gleefully but also gave the same respect to the Hindu, Sikh, and Christian communities, which had a great effect on them. Sometimes he addressed in Hindu Temple and sometimes he sprinkled the pearls of his wisdom with the recitation of the Holy Quran in Gurdwara (Sikh temple). People observed him taking his meals with Christian sweepers and with those people with whom people avoid mixing up with them. Syed Ata Ulla Shah Bukhari always said that religion purges the heart of humans. According to him, the religion which does not touch the human heart is not a religion, but politics and he did not have any relation with this ‘politics. This article provides an overview of Islamic teachings about social tolerance. It is an attempt to provide Syed Ata Ulla Shah Bukhari’s practical thoughts on religious and social tolerance and an overview of the results that are embedded in his thoughts and character in Indian society. In the end, some suggestions will be given to rectify the present behavior toward non-Muslims.

Teacher Educators’ Views on the Moral Dimension of Education for Sustainable Development: Exploring Their Conceptions and Practices
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has emerged as a transformative approach to addressing global challenges, incorporating environmental, social, economic, and moral dimensions into education systems. This study examines teacher educators’ perceptions of the moral dimension of ESD within Pakistan, highlighting its significance in shaping ethical awareness and sustainability practices among future educators. Using a mixed-methods design, quantitative data were collected from 387 teacher educators through a validated questionnaire, while qualitative insights were derived from 35 semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that while many educators acknowledge the moral dimension, its integration into teaching practices remains inconsistent. Themes such as moral responsibility, ethical frameworks, cultural norms, and critical thinking emerged as pivotal to understanding educators’ conceptions. The study underscores the importance of professional development and curricular reforms to enhance educators’ capacity to embed moral values in sustainability education. By foregrounding the moral aspects of ESD, this research contributes to the discourse on equipping future generations with the ethical foundation needed to address sustainability challenges effectively.

اسلامی تشخص اور مغربیت:تہذیبی بقاء کے چیلنجز
The preservation of Islamic traditions is essential for the welfare and prosperity of humanity, as it offers a clear, defined path rooted in eternal truths. In an era of rapid global change, many Muslims have distanced themselves from their civilizational heritage, adopting aspects of Western culture, which pose a significant threat to the survival of Islamic civilization. This research explores the intellectual and ideological conflict between Islamic and Western civilizations, with particular focus on the Indian subcontinent, where tensions have intensified following centuries of colonialism. Despite the establishment of Pakistan, the challenge of preserving Islamic traditions persists. Three primary responses to this challenge: complete adoption of Western civilization, total rejection, and a reconciliatory approach, have emerged in Muslim societies. Through an analysis of Islamic civilization's core beliefs, ideological foundations, and social structure, this study argues that the preservation of Islamic traditions is not only crucial for Muslim identity but also necessary for the establishment of a stable, balanced global order. By examining Islam’s comprehensive framework for individual and collective development, this research underscores the importance of remaining anchored in natural laws and fundamental principles to ensure the enduring success of civilizations.

Invitation and Propagation Through Islamic Civilization and Culture
In today’s era, it is essential to continue the mission of dawah using both traditional methods and modern, legitimate means. The field of spreading the message of truth remains open for Muslims, and every individual in this community can contribute to this great religious duty using the resources available to them. Many Muslims are already working hard using new methods, but it is crucial to approach this task with thoughtfulness, seriousness, and a sense of responsibility. Islam is a complete religion that has influenced the world through its teachings and civilization. Its cultural concept was based on the belief that this world is transient and deceptive, while true success lies in the hereafter, in attaining paradise in the presence of the Lord. A nation with such a belief could not engage in oppression, injustice, mistreatment, or social evils. The Prophet (peace be upon him) established an Islamic society during his lifetime and formed a community of active companions, setting the foundations for Islamic society, social structure, politics, economy, and culture for centuries to come.
