Abstract:

This research will look at whether the concept of kafālah, which is promoted by some many Muslim countries and has been recognized by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and the 1993 Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Inter-country Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention), and the 2009 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), is applicable to child support. In layman's terms, the phrase refers to carrying another's expenditures, while in fiqh literature; the term kafālah refers to the ideas of surety and guarantee, as well as bail, in the context of criminal law. Does this idea of child support have anything to do with the Arabic word kaf, which means assurance or surety? If this concept is permitted by Sharīʻah, are adults obligated to assist and care for abandoned and underprivileged children? This study will make an effort to define the kind of obligations that the Sharīʻah imposes in such situations. It is well known that Islam forbids adoption. What options for orphanages, foster homes, and other arrangements does the Islamic legal system provide in such a circumstance? The response of Islam must be compared to equivalent institutions developed and put into place in Western civilization.

Abstract:

What brings morality into existence found extensive interpretation since ancient times and one is more persuading than the other. However, following the enlightenment’s empirical approach to which Darwin and Adam Smith turned their attention for every moral dilemma lies in the concept of Sympathy. Both the authors believe, though without logical proof but based on the observation that it is the innate consciousness of Sympathy towards fellow beings responsible for the judgment on morality. Adam smith combined the struggle and sentiments as the sole premise to judge an ethical approach in society. Darwin with his concept of the evolution struggled to explain that sympathy in human lineage evolved into social instincts that gave it a more general flavor, strict empiricism. The question this article formulates is that was the concept of morality based on sympathy was a new and Western concept?. Therefore, at first this article will detail the concepts of sympathy understood by Adam Smith and Darwin. It will highlight the process and situation behind such approach contextualizing the role of evolution. In the second part this article will discuss this concept of sympathy based morality in the teachings of the Prophet of Islam ,ﷺ where he not only understood the nature of human existence but also evolved a new Medinan society. Moreover, it shows the contrasts and similarities between Islamic and Western understanding of sympathy based morality. Hence, it opens a new window to look at intellectual heritage and their relations.

Abstract:

In Islamic Law husband can divorce his wife without mentioning any reason which is considered his unilateral right. The wife can also dissolve her marriage through khul‘ nevertheless there is a contradiction in granting a woman right to dissolve her marriage as a unilateral right. This paper is divided into two parts; the first part highlights the contrary arguments of classical and contemporary Muslim Jurists in considering khul‘ as the unilateral right of a woman or it is dependent upon the consent of her husband, while in the second part I will examine how does this right is granted to a woman in light of the case law. It also explores how do the superior courts provide varied judgments in which the approval of the husband is considered mandatory for khul‘ while in others the consent is assumed irrelevant. The current paper investigates these contrary judgments in light of Islamic Law along with the opinions of the classical and contemporary jurists on the consent of a husband for khul‘. It is also noteworthy to highlight that there are also some basis provided by Pakistani law for dissolution of marriage by the woman with certain justified causes as mentioned in section 2 of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act 1939. Drawing over the scholarly arguments from Islamic and Pakistani Law this study claims that the approval of the husband is mandatory neither in Islamic Law nor in the legal system of Pakistan.

Abstract:

In this evaluative article, we critique the works of the Islamic scholar and Orientalist Ibn Warrāq. An anonymous author, Ibn Warrāq is widely recognised by scholars of the field as a pseudo-scholarly prominent figure with highly polemical tendencies. There can be no doubt that healthy revisionism is the epitome of academic learning and intellect, but the writer in question betrays very little ability or desire for serious knowledge, that can only be gained through meticulous scholarship and an impartial demeanour. As such, I contend that Ibn Warrāq can be more accurately regarded as an ex-Muslim representative of a particular group of Orientalists with conspiratorial tendencies. This group, which also includes figures such as the more scholarly Michael Cook and Patricia Crone, is unambiguously the implicit harbinger of the modern political agenda of right-wing Islamophobia, which has been in the making throughout Europe and North America since at least the early-1970s.

Abstract:

Major challenges of Islamic Microfinance institutions (IMFIs) are sustainability, funds constriction, high operating cost, low market penetration and their effectiveness for poverty alleviation. Islamic microfinance with only 7% share in the total microfinance industry in Pakistan, is facing serious issue of financial sustainability with a variety of operational models. Many organizations have started Shari’ah compliant microfinance operations. However, due to financial sustainability challenge, they have either stopped or at least have limited their operations. In this paper, we selected three organizations to compare their financial sustainability positions, having different operational models. Descriptive analysis with graphical presentation is used to describe the results of quantitative and qualitative data. Results revealed that Akhuwat (Qard Hasan based organization) is good in terms of outreach, financial strength, and operations cost while lacking in ROA, ROE, average finance size and nil on deposit outreach. The progress of Islamic Microfinance banking model is significant on financial indicators except, operational cost. Profit-based NBFC’s financial indicators are not impressive. In conclusion, funding arrangement is one of the major issues apart from others which can be overcome through deposit generation and low cost fund raising campaigns.

Abstract:

The Islamic world is going through a stagnancy period in developing its own philosophy in consideration with its valuable customs and past legacy. It is because the Western world is more advanced than the former in all spheres of life. Moreover, the Islamic world is always using western technology for seeking compatibility in matters related to social and financial requirements for the sake of its survival. Therefore, Islamic scholars of our time try their level best to come up with solutions in the matters that clash with the Islamic ideology or any unresolved Sharīʿah issue to mitigate the Sharīʿah requirements by using the ideology of survival hidden in the Islamic Jurisprudence tool of maṣāliḥ mursalah which is used under the extreme challenge of survival. Application of the tool of maṣāliḥ mursalah in the contemporary world is again subject to full filling its required conditions which are well elaborated by Imam Ghazali in his book Al-Mustasfa. The problem lies with the conditions of it whether they comply with the contemporary world where Muslims are no more in control and where the whole world is considered to be one under the concept of the global village. The article seeks to explore new horizons to make the tool of maṣāliḥ mursalah (used in Islamic Jurisprudence) more useful and workable by complying it with the objectives of Sharīʿah known as maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. The work is an extension of the philosophical thought of the great scholar.

Abstract:

Zakāt is very important in the economic system of Islam. One of the important conditions for the obligation of zakat is that the person giving zakat should be adult, sane and free. Upon these two conditions, there is considerable disagreement among the eminent jurists. Briefly it can be summed up that there are basically three groups regarding the necessity and non-necessity of giving Zakat of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. 1. Zakat will be required on the entire property of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. 2. Zakat will not be required on the entire property of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. 3. Zakat will be required on the partial property of a wealthy Muslim child or Lunatic. This research basically describes the arguments of two groups, while the arguments of the third group share the arguments of the first two groups. The finding of this research is that the opinion based on the non-necessity of Zakat on the property of a wealthy Muslim child or a Lunatic is more correct on these grounds. Firstly, zakat is an act of worship and for the obligation of worship it is a condition to be adult and sensible. Secondly, the hadith mentioned in this research clearly shows that Zakat should not be levied on the property of the wealthy child. Thirdly, the demands imposed on the child by the people will be paid because they are related to the rights of the people. Besides, the payment of Ushr by the child and the Lunatic will be mandatory, because the arguments of the Qur'an and Sunnah which make the payment of ‘Ushr obligation apply to all types of land, even if it is the land of the child and the Lunatic.

Abstract:

The distinction between ḥalāl and ḥarām is a fundamental value in the Islamic axiological system. Islam enjoins its believers not only to observe halal in speech and action, but also allows the use of only halal and pure items in food and drink. The main condition for the use of the meat of animals that are allowed to be eaten in Islam is that they are slaughtered in a lawful and proper manner. Nowadays, mechanized method is used for slaughtering poultry and animals. In slaughterhouses, animals are anesthetized by stunning before slaughtering so that they feel minimal pain during slaughtering. For this purpose, three methods of stunning are prevalent in modern slaughterhouses, the first is stunning by current, which is called electrical stunning, the second method is to stun animals by gas, which is called gas stunning, and the third method is percussive stunning , In which the animals are rendered unconscious by beating. This article will present the approach of PakistanḤalāl Food Standard, Malaysian Halal Food Standard and OIC Halal Food Standard regarding this animal stunning. Apart from this, what are the conditions imposed by these three organizations for the justification of this process of stunning and what are the requirements without which this process of stunning will not be permissible will also be included in this article.

Abstract:

Dressing is an inevitable and natural need for humankind. It is a silent language of a man’s social, economic, psychological and cultural life. A person's dress describes his society, values, traditions, lifestyle and financial condition. Every society has its style of wearing and clothing that differs from others. Being a Deen (code of life), Islam also guides in terms of dressing. This article deals with significance, objectives and the Islamic perspective of dressing. The research is based on the various studies made in philosophy and Islamic ideology of dressing. The article discusses the shariah obligations regarding dressing such as covering, purity, aesthetics and the distinction as per gender. In addition, a significant research is also presented on the disliked and unlawful dressings. The researchers have also made a good attempt in description of piety in dressing. The article concludes itself on the instructions to follow Islamic code of dressing in our daily life. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught his followers to observe their dress, considering the situations and events. He classified the dressing into valid and invalid and introduced the basic principles of dressing. If a society or a person observed these rules, he does not only beautify his personality, but also promote Islamic civilization and norms of social life.

Abstract:

This paper aims to conduct a comparative review in order to understand the line of demarcation between terrorism and Islamic concept of Qitāl. It is the matter of great concern, as one may assume that both viewpoints are very relevant to the bloodshed and beheading. The research question searching for what the difference is and what are the parameters that both are as different as two poles apart demands that each should be considered and judged under the epistemological domain of their own.Analytically it may be assessed that both are completely dissimilar in all respect either in fundamental thought or objective required to be achieved by each. Islamic concept of war and restoration of peace is totally encapsulated with the principles that govern and exercised with limitations in any situation to cope with indispensable circumstances. The golden principles of Islamic war (Jihād and Qitāl) have been adorned with the well balance philosophy epistemologically interconnected with Justice and Mercy towards the social amelioration and betterment in addition to the removal of upheaval, disorder and disruption resorting peace and harmony for the whole humanity.

Abstract:

The life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is a source of spiritual solace for the Muslim Ummah. Thousands of books have been written on various aspects of the Prophet’s life. The art of ‘Seerah’ writing emerged from Al-Maghāzī, the pioneer book of ‘Seerah’. The events and miracles presented in Seerah books were incorporated into the ‘Molūd Namās’, ‘Nūr Namās’, ‘Mieraj Namās’ and ‘Wafāt Namās’. Thus, in the ‘Molood Namās’, the miracles and events are described in an effective manner, taking its material from the books Al-Maghāzī and ‘Seerah’. The primary purpose of ‘Molūd Namās’ is to acquaint the illiterate or less educated class with various aspects of the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him). ‘Molūd Namās’ in Urdu were compiled under the influence of the Quran, Hadith, books of Al-Maghāzī and ‘Seerah’. This article deals with the description of ‘Molūd Namās’. The researchers first presented the history of ‘Molūd Namās’ with the details of how and when they began. Then, a thorough discussion is made on the influence of Seerah books on ‘Molūd Namās’. The distinctive factor of the paper is the description of various topics and subjects of ‘Molūd Namās’ along with brief details of each topic. The researchers included primary sources of Seerah in the description. The article concludes itself with a few suggestions and outcome of the research. This significant subject is opportune for all researchers of Seerah, students and teachers alike.

Abstract:

The Grand Design is a famous enterprise of Stephen Hawking and Mlodinow. Stephen Hawking denies Divine Interventions regarding origin of universe and declares that creation of universe can be attributed to Laws of Nature alone. They advocate science and reject Philosophy. He declares that the Universe does not begin by Big Bang but it caused bifurcation of space and time and “time” exist before Big Bang but very nature of that “time” is not comprehensible. They admit Grand Design (of Universe) but simultaneously reject the plausibility of Intelligent Designer and assert that favorable conditions for life on Earth are due to “chance”. Moreover, they affirm existence of Multiverse and declare that Multiverse emerged due to laws of nature. Hawking declares that the process of creation is spontaneous and spontaneous process does not require initiator. He seek refuge in Gravity as a manifestation of cause of universe. By rejecting possibility of mirage, they assert that laws of nature are fixed and support mechanical model of universe. Hawking’s propositions and assumptions regarding Creation, Cosmic Design and Laws of Nature need to be critically analyzed in Islamic perspective. Hawking is a Giant in modern science and theoretical physics and he is so influential that his statements regarding sciences have great impact in scientific society and academia. Atheist community also take advantage of his agnostic and non-religious contentions. Keeping in view the above stated matter, selected work of Stephen Hawking and Mlodinow’s book “The Grand Design” has been critically reviewed in the light of Islamic Thought.

Abstract:

The incident of Prophet’s ascension into heaven has been a very significant subject of the life of the Prophet peace be upon him. Though the difference of opinion regarding the details of Meraj exists among the Muslim scholars but no one among them has denied the occurrence of this incident. The Orientalists propound different rational interpretations regarding this event of Prophet’s life and majority of them seem to deny the material occurrence of Meraj. The arguments of the Orientalists mainly rest upon reason. In this article an attempt has been made to describe the different elaborations of Meraj done by the Orientalists and to analyze their views in the light of historical facts.

Abstract:

The issue of judicial Khula’ (judicial divorce) being practiced in honorable Pakistani courts poses a great challenge to Islamic jurists whose concerns about this issue are very serious. The proponents of judicial Khula’ present the Ahadith, in which it is mentioned that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had made separation between Hazrat Thabit bin Qays (RA) and his wife, as evidence for unilateral judicial Khula’. The majority of jurists takes unilateral judicial Khula’ non-compliant to Shariah law. The basic objective of this paper is to answer the questions: Do these ahadith presented for judicial Khula’ reach at the extent that prohibition and permission may be decided? Whether the Holy Prophet (PBUH) made separation between Thabit bin Qays (RA) and his wife unilaterally or did He make separation with the consent of the husband (Thabit bin Qays)? Is there any possible taṭbīq (harmonization between conflicting compatible texts) that can justify contemporary judicial Khula’? Regardless of these Ahadith, is it possible to justify judicial khula’ on the basis of any of the other jurisprudential details (Fiqhi Juz’iyyāt)? What are the implications of a unilateral judicial Khula’? What are its positive and negative effects on society? After analyzing the Ahadith from which approval of unilateral judicial Khula’ is extracted, the paper concludes that the honorable Courts, in Khursseed bibi case, has issued unilateral judicial Khula’ on the basis on abstract narration (mujmal riwayah) and ignored the detailed one (mufassal riwayah) and the same is being considered as precedent for decisions of judicial Khula’ till date. The paper also recommends that the court, using its wide-ranging powers to arrest the husband for not appearing in spite of sending summons to him, should bring him before the court so that the decision can be made only after the facts have become clear.

Abstract:

In all world religions and in every country, there are laws of punishment that punish the people involved in various crimes so that peace and tranquility can be maintained in a society and any lawlessness and chaos be prevented. In order to protect the honour of the Last Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him), the most respected person in the entire universe, the highly significant article 295C, i.e. the law of blasphemy, was included in the constitution of Pakistan, according to which if a person slanders the Prophet (peace be upon him) verbally or in writing, directly or indirectly, slanders his holy glory, such person shall be punished with death.Various questions have been raised about this law. This article deals with all the objections and queries raised against this law. The researchers very comprehensively answered the objections to this law. In addition, historical shreds of evidence and logical arguments are mentioned to prove that this law is not made for cruelty against minorities and does not promote extremism and intolerance in society. Rather, it is a shield for the protection of religious dignity. The article thoroughly reviews this 295C clause in the light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, Consensus and international laws against defamation of personalities and religions. Blasphemy is the ugliest element that has been raised very much in recent years. This article serves this purpose very nicely.

Abstract:

Islamic banking in its true spirit is a need of the era to fulfill Shariah permissible financing needs as well as to provide legitimate and trustable investment avenues. For investment purposes, Islamic banks have saving accounts which are based on the principles of Sharikah (participation by capital), Mudarabah (participation by capital from one side and by work from other side), Wakalah (Investment Agency) or Tawarruq (Commodity Murabaha) worldwide. Legislation has been taken place globally to ensure that the saving account of Islamic banking remains compatible with the principles of Sharikah, Mudarabah, Wakalah or Tawarruq as the case may be in different regions. Resistance from some jurists/experts also exists regarding Shariah basis of Islamic saving account as well as their operational stages. So, with the aim of analyzing the prevalent basis of Islamic saving account along with its operations in the light of Islamic laws, narrative research methodology is adopted in this paper. Simply, the process of Islamic banks with respect to the saving account is that they do business with the funds provided by their depositors and share profit with them as per the underlying mode of investment. Therefore, in the light of Shariah rulings, this practice of Islamic banks is valid and to take profit from this account is lawful by Shariah, and no doubt, the current practices related to saving account require further improvement and keen attention especially in tawarruq cases, but it is not correct to think of it same as a conventional banks’ saving account, because conventional banks borrow interest based loans for their saving account from account holders and pay the interest thereon, which is strictly prohibited by Islamic Shariah.

Abstract:

Woman is an element of human life, and Islam has taken care of her in all stages of her life, giving it rights that no legislation or system before Islam gave her, and what no human system will give it after Islam, and harnessed her energies and capabilities in building the Muslim society in proportion to her nature and composition. Therefore, we find that the Muslim woman had well-organized and fruitful social, economic, and political participation at the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Companions (female) of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) played their role in building the society and the nation, and participated in the pursuit of sustenance, work and earning of various kinds in all fields, whether they be commercial, industrial, health, agricultural etc. in accordance with the teachings of Islam so that the Muslim women can contribute to development. The era of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) became renowned for the propagation of many occupations i.e. agriculture, hunting, herding, animal husbandry etc. as trade was noticeably widespread in that era due to the continuation of the fame garnered by the Arab in the field of trade before Islam. The study covers the role of Muslim women through their contributions in the field of economics and politics during the Prophet’s era of effective modals for the developmental role of women in these fields during the era of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)and the demonstration of this milestone which the Muslim women contributed to the Muslim society.

Abstract:

Translation plays an important role of crossing through different cultures and communication. Therefore it is considered one of the major and appropriate means of transferring culture from one society to other. Audiovisual Translation which is gradually becoming a field of academic research within the field of Translation Studies is arguably one of the most common forms of translation. Audiovisual Translation plays a dynamic role in transferring the culture through its various types including dubbing, subtitling and voiceover etc. The production of dubbed and subtitled series and movies in Pakistan is one of the most evident manifestations of transferring Islamic culture among the individuals belonging to various cultures. This research aims at identifying the role of Pakistani dubbed and subtitled series into Arabic in the transfer of Islamic culture to the Arab World. It also highlights the concept of Audiovisual Translation, its famous types including dubbing, subtitling and voiceover.At the end some conclusions and recommendations have been mentioned.

Abstract:

The Islamic Sharī‘ah addresses all aspects of human needs with respect to their various conditions and states. The Islamic Sharī‘ah comprises two significant elements Islamic law and legal maxims. Islamic legal maxims are one of the most important fields of study in Islamic law. This article deals with the extraction of legal maxims related to testimony from the texts of the expounded book of the ḥanfī school of thought al-Mabsūt. The book was written by a prominent scholar, Sẖams ul Āʼima al- Sarkhsī during the 11th century. The text initially presents a brief introduction to the book. Then, it mainly discusses the study of extracting legal maxims from the book's text and authentication of these maxims from the primary sources of Islamic law, Qurʼān and Sūnnah. Furthermore, the article includes the meaning and endorsement of these maxims in other schools of thought, highlighting the applications of these maxims. In addition, the study briefly compares these maxims with Pakistani law. Finally, the article concludes itself with a few suggestions and recommendations. This study is very significant as the comparison would define the modification of Pakistani law from the Sharī‘ah perspective.
