اسلامی اقتصادی تربیت کے تناظر میں پیداوار کے عناصر کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Muqaddar Abbas — 2026-02-06

This study offers a comprehensive analytical and educational examination of the factors of production within the framework of Islamic economic thought. It seeks to demonstrate that in Islam, land, water, natural resources, capital, human labor, knowledge, and moral-social capital are not merely material inputs but divinely entrusted resources (amānāt), whose utilization is governed by ethical responsibility, social welfare, and spiritual accountability. The significance of this research lies in addressing the ethical vacuum created by contemporary economic paradigms, which largely reduce production to profit maximization, thereby fostering imbalance, exploitation, and excessive consumerism.

The central research question explores how Islamic economic education can integrate all factors of production into a coherent ethical and Tawḥīdic framework and translate these principles into the practical lives of children and youth. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the study critically examines Qur’anic verses, Prophetic and Imamic traditions, the practices of earlier prophetic models, and selected Islamic economic scholarship. The analysis highlights that Islamic economic education redefines production as an integrated process encompassing worship, social arrogance and fostering humility and gratitude. The study adopts a qualitative design employing descriptive and analytical methods.

The Islamic philosophy of production; integrating material advancement with spiritual and moral values—offers a coherent, humane, and ethically grounded paradigm capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as economic inequality, environmental degradation, and the excesses of consumerism, responsibility, and constructive stewardship of the earth (istiʿmār fī al-arḍ). The study argues that embedding these concepts within educational curricula, family structures, and social institutions can cultivate a generation oriented toward moderation, responsible productivity, and collective well-being. In doing so, Islamic economic education offers a value-driven and sustainable alternative that harmonizes material development with moral and spiritual growth.

جدید دور میں اسلامی تمدن کی تعمیر نو: چیلنجز، مواقع اور لائحہ عمل

Syed Muhammad Hussain Kazmi — 2026-02-06

Islamic civilization stands as one of the paramount civilizational traditions in human history. During the middle Ages, it made revolutionary contributions to the fields of knowledge, philosophy, culture, governance, and human values. The intellectual, societal, and spiritual services of Muslim thinkers, scientists, writers, and philosophers profoundly influenced not only the East but also various regions of the world, including Europe.

However, over time, internal strife, intellectual stagnation, political decline, and particularly the impacts of the colonial era, led this great civilization into a period of decay. In the 21st century, as the world navigates a new global order, industrial revolutions, and cultural clashes, the question of reconstructing Islamic civilization has become a critical imperative.

The primary aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive examination of the potential for this reconstruction, its contemporary obstacles, and a potential course of action. The significance of this study lies in its scope; it is not confined to an analysis of the past but also engages with present conditions and future possibilities. The paper asserts that the rebuilding of Islamic civilization is not merely a romantic ideal but a practical project, necessitating collective resolve, strategic planning, and sustained effort.

It concludes on the hopeful note that if Muslim nations effectively mobilize their intellectual, cultural, and economic capacities, they can not only revitalize their great civilizational heritage but also play a significant role in shaping a balanced and humane civilizational paradigm on a global scale.

چوتھی صدی ہجری تک قدریہ کے خلاف بیان شدہ احادیث کا تاریخی-سیاسی پسِ منظر

Dr. Muhammad Furqan Gohar — 2026-02-09

Qadariyyah was an important intellectual-political movement that emerged in the first century AH, as a reaction against the authoritarian policies of the Umayyads. In fact, these policies aimed to consolidate and stabilize the foundations of Umayyad power. So, the Umayyad government took extensive and systematic measures to limit the influence of this movement.This research studies the socio-intellectual background of the Qadariyyah and the Umayyads, based on a historical-analytical approach and primary written sources. According to this study,

one of the aspect of this conflict lies under the influence upon Sunni tradition of hadith that was formed in the first four centuries of Islamic history. The research findings indicate that this ideological-political conflict is reflected in the narrative sources in three major areas:First: The political-religious area. This includes those traditions that portray a negative image of the influence of the Qadariyyah in society and encourage their eradication. Second: The cultural-social field. Here the Qadariyyah were introduced with a negative identity—for example, the title of “Zoroastrians of the Ummah"—which aims to isolate and marginalize them socially. Third: Theological-belief field. This includes various traditions in which Qadariyyah is characterized by attributes such as polytheism, disbelief, enmity towards God, heresy, and denial of divine predestination and destiny.

This study shows that the conflict between the Umayyads and the Qadariyyah was, in fact, a reflection of an ideological-political conflict between the Qadariyyah's judicial discourse and the government structure based on coercive thought. However, this political confrontation gradually transformed into a doctrinal conflict, as a result of which the hadith heritage was systematically used to reinforce the coercive ideology.

مزج اللغتين كآلية للإبداع الشعري: دراسۃ تحلیلۃ مع نماذج تطبيقية من ديوان "أجناس الجناس"

سید بشارت حسین موسوی — 2026-02-06

This study explores the art of bilingual poetry in the works of Mufti Muhammad Abbas al-Tustari, focusing on his book Ajnas al-Jinas. The research analyzes how Persian and Arabic are blended within the same text to enhance meaning, aesthetic appeal, and rhetorical impact. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study examines selected poems to identify the lexical, syntactic, rhetorical, and intertextual strategies employed by the poet.

The findings reveal that bilingualism in these poems is a deliberate artistic technique, not a random use of two languages. The interaction between Persian and Arabic enriches the textual meaning, strengthens the poetic rhythm, and reflects the cultural and literary fusion of the two traditions. This study contributes to a better understanding of bilingual literary creativity, offering insights for researchers and students in comparative literature, stylistics, and Arabic-Persian literary studies.

The The Role of Women’s Political Activity in Promoting Islamic Values and Services to Society: Ms. Farakh Khan-a Practical Example

Shahnaz Bibi — 2026-02-11

The role of women in promoting Islamic ethics and social services has been historically significant. Islam clearly emphasize on collective responsibility of men and women in social reforms, services and welfare. However, in contemporary Pakistani society this role remains underrated and insufficiently acknowledged at large. This study explores the underlying causes for limited visibility of women in social activities, ethical leadership and politics.

In fact, this study examines socio-cultural, religious and political barriers that prohibit women for their public and political life. The study critically analyses patriarchal social structure, cultural practices, misinterpreted religious teachings, and the symbolic nature of women’s political representation in Pakistan.

In order to establish a practical connection to the theoretical discussion, the parliamentary role of Ms. Farakh Khan is represented as a case study that shows how Islamic ethical principles such as Amanah (Trust), Shura (Consultation) and Khidmat-e-Khalq (Service to humanity) can be effectively implemented within contemporary political institutions.

The findings of study reveal that restriction of women in social domains are not rooted in Islam, but is primarily a result of structural and ideological constraints. The study concludes by presenting strategic measures, including reinterpretation of Islamic teachings, educational empowerment, media engagement, and institutional reforms, to strengthen women’s political role in promoting Islamic ethics and social services. This research emphasizes the inevitability of comprehensive and morally grounded political participation of women for sustainable social development in Pakistan.
