The literal interpretation of the Qur‘ān is the interpretation that is made taking the dictionary into account while interpreting the Qur‘ān. Without a doubt, the dictionary is an essential source of Quranic exegesis. However, the entire interpretation cannot be based only on the dictionary. Acceptable and unacceptable both aspects are found in the lexical interpretations. The satisfactory element is to present Hadiths or signs to support the description. In contrast, the unacceptable pattern of the literal interpretation is the opposite. This article is aimed to evaluate the exegetical Views of Moulvī Chirāgh ‘Alī from these two aspects, as he has used the dictionary repeatedly in his writings. The article details the methodology Moulvī Chirāgh ‘Alī adopted for the exegesis of the Qur‘ān. The paper mainly deals with the various words of the Qur‘ān and their lexical discussion, which begins with the pattern of interpretation and examples from the exegesis. The article concludes with a summary of the research and some valuable suggestions from the researchers. The series of literal interpretations started from the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him). And it continued till the present. The research presented in the article is an endeavour to present a review of Urdu commentaries which were affected by this lexical methodology.

پاکستان کے مروجہ عدالتی نظام میں تاخیر انصاف کے اسباب : ایک تحقیقی اور تنقیدی جائزہ

Rafi Ullah, Dr. Muqaddas Ullah — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Justice is an ultimate end of any law which fully reflects in speedy dispensing of the disputed. It is a common proverb, “delay defeat equity”, i.e. justice. Speedy justice is the basic norm of the Islamic judicial system that was highly observed in the Period of The Prophet (SAWS) and his followers. In the later period, when the judicial system failed to provide speedy justice, consequently public trust was lost and as a result other systems took over it and filled the gap.

In this regard, this paper attempts to critically evaluate and analyze the subject matter cited above and tries to find out and highlight the causes of delay of justice and suggest the possible solutions to address and solve the issue.

Noah's storm refers to the punishment that came upon Noah's people. When the people of Noah (علیہ السلام) disobeyed, Noah (علیہ السلام) made a bad supplication for his people, which resulted in the punishment of the flood. It started raining from the sky and water came out of the earth and the whole earth was filled with it. Noah (علیہ السلام) was ordered by Allah to make an ark. Those who believed in Noah (علیہ السلام) boarded the ark and Noah (علیہ السلام) put a pair of various animals in the ark and all the people outside the ark drowned in the water. The ark that Noah built was three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. The objective of this study is to compare and contrast the details of the storm in the light of Quran and Bible. The study shows that according to the Qur'an, when Noah (علیہ السلام) started building the ark, the people made fun of him, while the Bible does not mention it. The oven is also mentioned in the Holy Quran, which has been interpreted differently by the commentators, while the oven is not mentioned in the Bible. According to the Qur'an, a son of Noah (علیہ السلام) was a disbeliever who did not board the ark and drowned in the water, while according to the Bible, the entire family of Noah (علیہ السلام) boarded the ark. According to the Qur'an, Noah (علیہ السلام) preached to his people for nine hundred and fifty years and after that punishment came upon them, while according to the Bible, Noah (علیہ السلام) was only six hundred years old at the time of the flood.

Dr. Fazal Wadood, Dr. Khalil UR Rahman — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Qur'an and Hadith have discussed about curiosity and spy from different angles,There are some types of curiosity, some of which are legitimate and some of which are illegitimate.Curiosity is actually a forbidden and prohibited act, but this is also a fact That the basic tasks of an Islamic state are to achieve and maintain security, world peace and to implement the goals of Islamic Shari'a.And all this is possible when there is a strong surveillance system and it is easy for the government to trace people who are suspected of espionage.When someone commits a crime and the criminal goes into hiding, it becomes the duty of the government to investigate the criminal, find out their whereabouts so that the crime can be eradicated. It is permissible for the state to spy against enemies. Rather, in the event of a war between Muslims and others, it is obligatory and necessary for the Imam of the Muslims to pay full attention to it.Some forms of curiosity are also forbidden, for example: spying on the defects and secrets of Muslims, Whether it is eavesdropping, or seeing it, it does not serve any legitimate purpose, nor is it intended to prevent an anticipated harmful effect. The most dangerous espionage is that which is done for the sake of harming the country and its servants, for the sake of betraying God Almighty and Muslims,In order to inform the enemies through it, and to divide and disperse the Muslim forces.This article provides guidance on these types, so its importance is clear.

Dr. Muhammad Yaqoob, Dr. Muhammad Shahid — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Hadith is the second permanent source of Islamic Shariah, from which Islamic laws are derived. The Hadith has two parts. One part is called “Sanad”, and the other part is called “ Matan”. These two parts of any Hadith must be verified. In this sense only those Ahadiths should be paid attention for research which are other than Sihaah e Sittah. And these Ahadith have either not been investigated thoroughly, or those have not been researched yet. It is not correct to narrate a hadith without this said research, otherwise it can be equivalent to tell a lie. At present, there are some Ahadiths whose “Sanad” and “Matan” are both daeef, but those are being presented as a part of religion without any hesitation. This article likewise explains the true nature of a Hadith that deals with the acquisition of knowledge, even if you have to go to China. It aslo discusses its origin and describes its form. It presents a full review of its “Sanad “and “Matan”. It also describes its unproven and proven parts of text separately.

Abdul Basit, Dr. Muhammad Zakir Hashmi, Dr. Bashir Ahmad Malik — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:00:00 -0400

From the creation of Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him) to the resurrection, truth and falsehood are in conflict with each other. Prophets (peace be upon them) continued to come for the exaltation of the truth for the sake of Almighty Allah, but they were opposed by the enemies of Islam.At the end, the last Prophet Hazart Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came with the last message from Allah, for guidance of humanity which is the Holy Quran. There were confrontations against the believers even till the prophetic period. In the intellectual confrontation between right and wrong in the modern era, the anti-Islamic scholarly efforts of Orientalists are a continuation of this war. In this article, similarity in ideas and actions of the ancient and modern anti-Islamic thoughts of enemies of Islam has been mentioned in the Quranic context.

An Analysis of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal’s government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (2002-2007) in the light of its Election Manifesto: A case study of Hisbah Institution

Muhammad Nawaz Khan, Dr. Rasheed Ahmed — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400

This research article aimed to investigate the impact of the MMA (Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal) on the Islamization of laws and institutions based on its 2002 election manifesto. Muslims' personal and social lives are centered around Quranic principles such as Dawah Iila al-Khayr (calling towards goodness) and Amar Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkar (enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong). The MMA expressed concerns about the erosion of Islamic social norms and the influence of liberal values. It advocated for enabling Muslim residents to live in accordance with Shariah as outlined in the 1973 Constitution. As part of its Shariah implementation objectives, the MMA proposed the establishment of a modern Hisbah institution inspired by historical precedents. After assuming power in the province of KP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), the coalition government of religious political parties prioritized the Islamization of institutions. The "North West Frontier Province Shariah Act, 2003" was enacted, followed by the introduction of the Hisbah Bill, which aimed to create the Hisbah Institution led by a Mohtasib. However, the bill became controversial, and both the “Council of Islamic Ideology” and the Supreme Court of Pakistan deemed it ultra vires and ineligible to be enacted into the legal code.

COLONIAL ENCOUNTER AND ISLAMIZATION THROUGH LEGISLATURE IN THE NORTH WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE 1932-37

Dr Muhammad Tariq — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0400

This study focuses on the evolution and development of Islamic laws under the English legal system by investigating the various Shari’ah bills in the first legislative council in British NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). It will analyze the British parliamentary system, their democratic standards and role of various stake holders in the pre-independent era from 1932 to 1937. This province was kept aloof from the constitutional reforms and it was administered through special laws under (Rewaj). Shari’ah laws and British implemented (Rewaj) had unpredictable features for the Muslims of frontier. Ulama role, British democratic way and other communities had key role in this regard that contributed in legislative council. The study finds that Shari’ah laws were the product of the interaction, cooperation and pluralistic approach of the various stake holders. It is very important to conduct a research on the challenge of colonial encounter on one side, and response of the British administration for Shari’ah laws on the other side. The legislative members were not from ulama’s class, the British were not to emphasize on Shari’ah laws. However, this alliance of ideologically inconsistent groups could not be predictable unless there is a mutual agreement. In this study, that mutual agreement and cooperation will be studied. The study will help in finding the historical roots of the process of socio-political discourse of Islamization of laws in the modern times and the parliamentary politics with special reference to ulama within the time frame work of the legislative council 1932-1937. The research will be conducted by using historical and analytical methods and the main sources will be consulted from the archival materials as legislative council debates and police abstracts of Intelligence of British N.WF.P.

A Research Review of Islamic Context Regarding the Dignity and Respect for Humanity

Dr. Naseem Akhter, Dr Shumaila Rafiq, Ms.Irsa Aziz — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Mankind is a huge part of Islamic order and is laid out in the illustrations of the Blessed Quran and the sayings and exercises of the Sacred Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Islam stresses the respect and worth of each and every individual paying little heed to race, orientation, or social standing. The essential guideline of Islam, as addressed in numerous Islamic teachings, is regard for individuals. Muslims who follow Islam are instructed to regard and maintain the innate qualities and respect, everything being equal, as well as to treat others with affection, sympathy, and decency. This is the idiosyncrasy of Islam, which instructs that all people are equivalent before Allah (SWT), and that divisions in light of these qualities are insufficient. The topic of this research paper is, what does Islam say in regards to the admiration of humankind and how can it make sense of before society? This study can be instructive and helpful to new specialists and researchers.

حدیث کے میدان میں مخصوص صوفیائے کرام کی علمی اور تصنیفی خدمات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Dr. Navid Iqbal , Mr. Muhammad Yousuf — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Allah has created people in every age to protect every aspect of Islam who left no stone unturned in fulfilling their responsibility. Be it the field of Qur'anic interpretation, hadith and jurisprudence or Sufism, the scholars of every field have left no stone unturned in the promotion of religious sciences with their many services. There are also many scholars who worked in more than one field from academic and literary aspects. But due to the tendency of some of them towards a particular field, they became known by the name of that field, like Imam Malik, Ahmad bin Hanbal etc. Therefore, it cannot be said that they do not have any expertise in other fields or that their opinion does not have any status due to being more than one. As some people have understood, like Sufis، that his field is Sufism only and his opinion in the field of Sufism is argument and proof. Now if they quote or narrate a hadith and that hadith is not in the reliable and famous books of hadith, they reject it. However, this should not be the case all the time.

To eliminate such doubts and objections, this paper will comment on the conditions and scholarly services of some Sufis who have performed scholarly and authorial services in the field of Sufism along with Hadith Sciences
