This article presents a non-religious and academic analysis of the struggle to establish an Islamic society during last few centuries. This struggle is a modern political phenomenon that emerged as a reaction to 19th-century European colonialism and the failure of Arab nationalism. The intellectual foundations of this movement include Abul A'la Maududi's theory of divine sovereignty, Hasan al-Banna's reformist call, and Sayyid Qutb's revolutionary concept of jihad. Historical events like the 1967 Arab-Israeli War and the 1979 Iranian Revolution gave this struggle a new direction. Its practical forms include electoral politics, extensive social welfare work, and at times, armed struggle.However, these movements face challenges such as the separation of state and religion, internal ideological conflicts, and economic failures. The article concludes that this struggle is an ongoing tension between a utopian vision and the realities of the modern world, with an uncertain but evolving future.

Humanities guide any society by shaping its social structure and deeply influencing the rise and fall of its culture and civilization. In fact, humanities form the foundation and soul of all other sciences and significantly contribute to the intellectual and civilizational development of society. These sciences do not emerge in a vacuum but are based on a specific worldview and a particular intellectual and epistemological understanding of humanity. If humanities are founded on ideas like secularism or humanism, the society will reflect those ideologies. Conversely, if these sciences are developed based on the Islamic worldview and Islamic anthropology, they will pave the way for the establishment and advancement of Islamic civilization.

The paper examines the Islamic foundations of human sciences and their role in shaping a modern Islamic civilization. It focuses on identifying the intellectual and practical steps needed to reconstruct human sciences on Islamic principles and how these steps can guide the development of a contemporary Islamic civilization. According to this research, humanities derived from Islamic teachings play a key role in the formation of modern Islamic civilization.

دین کی سماجی تفسیر اور علامہ طباطبائی: ایک تحلیلی جائزہ

Some sociologists, as well as some intellectuals who study religion from a social perspective, believe that religion is a social behavior whose source is social factors. These people consider religion to be merely a social phenomenon. The present article consists of an explanation and commentary of the views of Allama Syed Muhammad Hussain Tabatabai (may Allah have mercy on him) in refuting the above-mentioned social interpretation of Islam. This article presents a comparative review of the views of Western sociologists and sociologists such as Marx, Durkheim and Weber and Allama Tabatabai.

This article makes it clear that those thinkers who consider religion to be merely a social phenomenon and human behavior are, in fact, incapable of understanding the true reality of religion. They have considered religion to be merely the result of human social needs or historical factors. However, according to Allama Tabatabai, the source of religion is a metaphysical reality and being, namely God Almighty. He considers religion to be a transcendental, divine and natural reality that is in harmony with human reason, nature and revelation. According to him, religion is a complete and comprehensive system of life, which not only reforms man individually but also builds his collective life on the basis of order, justice, empathy and unity.

In the present paper, in order to prove the universality and immortality of religion, it has been made clear that the religion of Islam is not a guidance for any particular nation but for all humanity. Finally, it was concluded that a true understanding of religion is possible only when it is accepted as a divine, natural and social reality, as Allama Tabatabai has presented in his commentary and philosophical works.

اأثر المنھج اللغوی فی اثبات العقائد الدینیۃ نموذجا دراسة تحليلية تطبيقية

Imami theologians have given significant attention to the linguistic approach in reasoning to establish Researching the methodologies of theological reasoning among Islamic theological sects is of paramount importance due to its significant effects and consequences in the realms of creed and the Muslim's practical life. Therefore, it is imperative to study them in detail, refining their concepts, applications, analysis, comparison, critique, the reasons for their differences, and monitoring their results. The study of the linguistic methodology among the Shia Imamiyyah undertakes and focuses on clarifying its concept, applications, analyzing it, and explaining its most important results in the domain of creed.

The use of the linguistic methodology to establish matters of creed is not a new matter; rather, it is ancient and scattered throughout linguistic books on grammar, rhetoric, the meanings of the Quran, books of exegesis (Tafsir), recitations (Qira'at), and others. Early scholars adhered to it to support creeds, authoring numerous works in this field and frequently citing it for creedal issues.Theologians of the Imamiyyah have given great attention to the linguistic methodology in reasoning to establish and defend matters of creed, as they did with the Sifat Khabariyyah (descriptive attributes of God). Among these Shia theologians, for example, is al-Sayyid al-Sharif al-Radi, a senior Shia Imamiyyah scholar, who wrote two independent books on metaphor in the Quran and Sunnah, namely Talkhis al-Bayan fi Majazat al-Quran and al-Majazat al-Nabawiyyah. These are among the oldest works in this field, addressing creedal issues in the verses of the Sifat Khabariyyah. Among them are al-Sayyid al-Murtada in Ghurar al-Fawa'id wa Durar al-Qala'id, al-Shaykh al-Mufid in Tas-hih I'tiqadat al-Imamiyyah, Ibn al-Hasan al-Tabarsi, the author of the commentary Majma' al-Bayan, Fakhr al-Din al-Turayhi in Majma' al-Bahrain, and likewise, al-Shaykh Ja'far al-Subhani, among contemporary scholars, followed their example in his book al-'Aqidah al-Islamiyyah 'ala Daw' Madrasat Ahl al-Bayt, and others.

One of the results of relying on the linguistic methodology among the Imamiyyah is their safety from falling into the problem of anthropomorphism (tajsim), likening God to creation (tashbih), defining His modality (takyif), and affirming a place, direction, or spatial limitation for Him, may He be exalted.

Challenges Faced in Implementations of Gilgit Baltistan Education Strategy 2015-2030: Teachers Perspective

2025-11-14T05:29:35+00:00

No doubt, the success of national goals largely depends on an effective education system; as a country’s economic, social, and political growth is closely related with its educational arrangements. Unfortunately, our nation is confronting many problems in the field of education; particularly in Gilgit- Baltistan region. To meet the educational challenges in this region, a viable educational strategy was developed in 2014 by the department of education in Gilgit Baltistan. But, this strategy is still facing many challenges in its implementation.

As teachers play a critical role in implementation of any educational policy or strategy, this research – using a mixed methods approach – finds out teachers’ perspective, regarding the failure of 2015-2030 strategy in its implementation.

According to this paper, one of the basic reasons for the failure of 2015-2030 strategy in its implementation from teachers’ perspective lies under the underestimation of regional needs of a unique geographical area.

Similarly, this study finds out the poor partnerships between the government and the education department as another root cause of the unsatisfactory implementation of this strategy.
