Muhammad Asadullah — 2024-06-29

Some regulations have been established by the eminent scholars, imams, jurists and mujtahids of the muslim commumity in accordance with the teachings of the Qurān and Sunnah. The assence of these regulations is drived from the Qurān and Sunnah. The intention of the Qurān and Sunnah is that the propagation and dissemination of Islām should be crried out with these regulations and principles in mind. The definitive and unambiguous aspects should be accepted as they are. Reason should always be subordinate to Sharia. Desire of the self should be kept away. Only a person who thoroughly understands the principles and regulations of renewal should undertak it, and such a person must also posses the necessary knowledge.following the terminologies and consepts of sharia and essentioal. The propagation of Islām and the renewal of faith should be done within the framework of Sharia terminologies and concepts. Exessiveness, extremism and rigidity should be avoided in matters of religion. The teachings of Islām should always be considered paramount. One should avoid following dispensations and arrors and should not amalgamate different religious school of thought. Islām is a universal and and global religion, and its teachings should be spread accordingly. Furthermore, care should be taken to avoid imposing any restrictions or limitations that are not sanctioned by Allah and his Messenger.

Na’at is an Arabic word which literally means to prase the last prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The use of Na’at has been in practice since the beginning of Islam. This word became very famous with the Prophet's (PBUH) mission. Na’at also refers to qasida, detailing the virtues of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and glorifying the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). In reality, the na’at describes the qualities that Allah Almighty has bestowed upon his beloved Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

The life of the Prophet ﷺ has always been a topic of discussion due to its comprehensiveness. In every era, numerous scholars have highlighted various aspects of the Prophet's ﷺ life. Not only Muslim scholars, but also non-Muslim thinkers have described the Prophet's ﷺ life based on their scholarly and intellectual abilities. Some non-Muslim thinkers have criticized different aspects of the Prophet's ﷺ life but there have also been non-Muslim biographers (Seerat Nigār (who have acknowledged the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ and have written about his life with great honesty and impartiality, free from religious bias. One such example is the Hindu author Swāmī Lakshman Parshād, who wrote "Arab Ka Chānd" (The Moon of Arabia), a unique and captivating biography of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Muhammad Sagheer Bin Kabir Khan — 2024-06-10

Family is the basic unit of human society. It is formulated after the marriage between husband and wife. Historically, all human civilizations and religions have cared for the union between Man and woman by constituting norms and rules right from the solemnization till the death of any partner of the union. Similarly, the religion of the Muslims Islām has provided all sort of guidance in this regard keeping in view the natural sensations of humans for cohabitation and making their lives pure as well as chaste. Generally, Islām does not encourage late or delayed marriages rather it incites its followers to marry at appropriate time after adulthood. However, now a days trend of late and delayed marriages is getting popular in our Pākistānī society which is a point of deliberation for the social scientists and Muslim scholars. The current article deals with this topic to elaborate its causes and suggests means for tackling in the light of Islāmic instructions.

برصغیر کے مرتدین: سلطان محمد پال کا خصوصی مطالعہ

Syed Toqeer Abbas — 2024-06-15

Islām started in the Subcontinent in the early 8th century. Though, Hinduism and Christianity already existed here but Islam affected the Indian society rapidly more than these two religions. This was the reason it spread all over the Subcontinent very soon. Christian preachers established intellectual and theoretical circumambience against the Muslims particularly during British imperialism some anti-Islāmic activities were started because of which a great number of Muslims reverted from Islām. There were people in these apostates related to different classes of Indian society. These apostates not only published anti-Islāmic literature based on objections and allegations but also established such organizations and institutions from which different anti-Islāmic movements set in. Sulṭān Paul, who was born in 1881 and raised in an Afghan Muslim family, subsequently converted to Christianity in 1903. He rose to prominence in the Subcontinent for his Christian activities. He made an effort to integrate biblical literature with the Qur‘ān through his writings, defending Christianity and addressing Islam and other religions. The study explores Sulṭān Paul’s contributions and illuminates his thoughts on Islam.

Issues, Challenges and Prospect of Informal Settlers of the Mindanao State University in the Islamic City of Marawi

Al Asad S. Pama — 2024-06-27

Mindanao State University (MSU) was created under Republic Act 1387. Philippines President Garcia signed proclamation number 806 which reserved 1,000 hectares out of the Camp Keithly military reservation in Marawi City. This proclamation was later on enacted into a law when congress ceded the 1,000 hectares reservation to the University under Republic Act (RA) 3791. As time went on, many private structures built by informal settlers have bourgeoned within the vicinity of the university which decreases its original landscape. This paper is exploratory in nature and even perhaps pioneering as there are no academic papers written about the reasons of how and why the 1,000 hectares land that used to be owned by the University has shrunk to its current state. There are no known available records also showing acts of past and present administration making remedial steps in resolving the problem. Hence, this research intends to find out the reasons of the continuing and alarming increase in the population of informal settlers in MSU campus. Specifically, this research seeks to identify the mode of acquisition of informal settlers of the land that they are currently occupying in MSU Marawi (MSU, Marawi City), and it explores the problems and challenges of informal settlers in establishing residence in MSU Marawi in terms of: 1.) Peace and order 2.) Expansion of MSU Marawi. Lastly, it intends to find out the remedial measures that may be adopted to solve the problems and challenges of informal settlers in MSU Marawi.
