VFAST Transactions on Islamic Research VFAST Transactions on Islamic Research (VTIR) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the VFAST Research Platform. Established in 2013, the journal serves as an academic forum for high-quality research on Islam, Islamic thought, and the Muslim world, with particular emphasis on the intellectual, spiritual, social, legal, historical, and cultural dimensions of Islamic civilization. The journal is committed to fostering scholarly engagement between classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary academic discourse through rigorous, interdisciplinary research. Since its foundation, VTIR has provided a platform for scholarly contributions in three languages—English, Urdu, and Arabic—reflecting its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity across diverse academic and linguistic traditions within the broader Muslim scholarly community. This multilingual framework played a significant role in promoting regional and international scholarship during the journal’s formative and developmental phases. However, in line with evolving international academic standards, global indexing requirements, and the journal’s strategic commitment to enhancing scholarly visibility and broader international reach, VTIR has formally revised its language policy. Effective from the 2026 publication cycle onward, all manuscripts submitted to VFAST Transactions on Islamic Research must be written exclusively in English. This revised English-only policy is intended to strengthen the journal’s global academic integration, improve accessibility for international readership, standardize editorial processes, and align VTIR with internationally recognized publishing frameworks. Under this revised policy, Arabic text may be used only for primary Islamic source citations such as Qur’anic verses, Hadith texts, or essential classical references where academically necessary, while all titles, abstracts, keywords, discussions, analyses, and full manuscript content must be presented in English. Full Urdu and Arabic manuscript submissions, previously accepted under the journal’s earlier multilingual framework, will no longer be considered for publication from 2026 onward. Initially published as a quarterly journal (January–March, April–June, July–September, and October–December), VTIR continued this four-issue annual structure until 2022. Beginning in 2023, the journal adopted a biannual publication model to further strengthen editorial quality, peer-review rigor, and research impact through the publication of two carefully curated issues per year. VTIR welcomes contributions from scholars across the Islamic world and beyond, encouraging original research that critically examines both classical and contemporary dimensions of Islamic studies. Through its revised editorial and linguistic policies, the journal aspires to position itself more prominently within the international scholarly landscape while preserving the methodological integrity and intellectual richness of Islamic research traditions.

The Concept of ʿAqd (Contract) in Islamic Jurisprudence: An Analytical Study with Reference to the Contract Act 1872
The concept of contract forms the foundation of legal, commercial, and social transactions, making its study essential for both jurisprudential and practical purposes. This research explores the concept of ʿaqd (contract) in Islamic jurisprudence and examines its relationship with the modern legal framework of the Contract Act 1872. The study begins with a lexical and juristic analysis of ʿaqd, tracing its Qur’ānic foundations, linguistic dimensions, and scholarly interpretations, with particular emphasis on its essential elements: ījāb (offer), qabūl (acceptance), and irtibāṭ sharʿī (legal binding recognized by Sharīʿah). It further highlights the role of mutual consent (tarāḍī), intention (niyyah), and lawful subject matter as fundamental conditions for the validity of contracts. The research then evaluates the legal definitions of contract under the Contract Act 1872, focusing on the distinctions between promise, agreement, and contract, as well as the requirements of enforceability, consideration, and lawful object. A comparative analysis demonstrates that while the Contract Act 1872 is concerned primarily with enforceability under positive law, Islamic jurisprudence emphasizes both the external act of agreement and the internal dimension of Sharīʿah compliance. Consequently, Islamic law excludes void (bāṭil) contracts that contravene Sharīʿah conditions, whereas the Contract Act recognizes validity if statutory requirements are met, even when Sharīʿah principles are absent. This study concludes that the concept of ʿaqd in Islamic jurisprudence offers a more holistic framework, combining legal enforceability with ethical and spiritual dimensions, thereby providing a balanced approach to justice and accountability in contractual relations.

Emphasis through Extra Particles: The Issue of Additional Elements in the Holy Qur’an in the Light of Tafsīr Abī al-Su‘ūd – The Case of the Redundant Particle Lā as a Model
This research explores the phenomenon of emphasis through additional particles (al-tawkīd bi-l-zawāʾid) in the Holy Qur’an, with particular attention to the particle lā, which is 70 often considered redundant, as interpreted in Tafsīr Abī al-Suʿūd. The study investigates whether these particles should be viewed as superfluous elements or as purposeful rhetorical instruments that enrich the eloquence and expressive power of the Qur’anic discourse. By drawing upon the exegetical perspectives of Abū al-Suʿūd in conjunction with classical sources on Qur’anic sciences, Arabic linguistics, and rhetoric, this work sheds light on the semantic and stylistic functions of lā in selected verses. The findings reveal that such particles are not mere insertions but serve as emphatic devices that strengthen meaning, maintain rhythmic balance, and enhance the aesthetic quality of the Qur’an’s language. Positioning Abū al-Suʿūd’s views within the wider exegetical and linguistic tradition, the paper highlights the critical role of linguistic and rhetorical analysis in uncovering the profound layers of Qur’anic expression and illustrates how these linguistic features reaffirm the Qur’an’s unique inimitability (iʿjāz).
Research Study on the Methodology and Characteristics of Dr. Syed Sher Ali Shah’s (Introductory) Preface to Tafsir
In the subcontinent, the students are usually taught a useful academic case (Aloom Al Qura`an) before the course of interpretation and translation of the Holy Quran. This preliminary study serves as a comprehensive foundation that enables the learners to understand the basic sciences, structure, and context of the Quranic revelation in a more systematic manner. Discussions related to the interpretation (Tafseeri) of the Holy Quran, such as its Shari definition, main subjects, purpose, levels of tafsir, and other related branches of Quranic sciences have been taken place by the prominent scholars and researchers of this field since centuries.Late Dr. Sher Ali Shah of Akora Khatak, District Nowsera (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Pakistan, was among these learned jurists and distinguished scholars of the current century, whose contributions towards this sacred field shall always be remembered with deep respect and gratitude by students and teachers alike.In this paper, sincere efforts have been made to extract, describe, and highlight the fourteen significant characteristics from his famous published Tafseer, which has been compiled and preserved under the title of Muqaddema and Aloom Al Qura`an by his two great scholars, Maulana Faiz ur Rahman and Dr. Saeed ul Haq respectively, to serve as a lasting academic tribute to his intellectual legacy and Quranic scholarship.
Islamic Reformative and Spiritual Dimensions in the Novels of Saleha Abid Hussain: An Analytical Study
This paper undertakes a research-based analytical study of the reforma- tive and spiritual dimensions in the novels of Saleha Abid Hussain, one of the leading female voices in twentieth-century Indian Muslim literature. Born in Panipat in 1913 and influenced by the Islamic reformist legacy of Altaf Hussain Hali, Saleha Abid Hussain used her fiction as a medium of social and moral awakening. It investigates how her fiction reflects Islamic values, particularly themes of Tasawwuf, moral reform, women’s education, family life, and social justice. Using a textual and thematic anal- ysis of selected novels such as Azra, Atish Khamosh, and Rahi Amal, the study explores how Saleha Abid Hussain employed literature as a medium to promote Islamic ideals of justice, equity, and spiritual awareness. The paper further highlights her role in presenting women not only as social beings but also as active participants in moral and religious reform. The findings suggest that her novels go beyond literary expression to serve as vehicles of Islamic guidance and reformative thought, thereby establishing her as a significant contributor to both Urdu literature and Islamic intel- lectual tradition.
Prayer Rulings in the Manuscript Ganj al-Hadi by Shaykh al-Qur’an Qazi Abdul Hadi Rustami: An Analytical and Referential Exploration
This research paper explores the jurisprudential rulings on prayer (Ahkām al-Ṣalāh) as presented in the manuscript Ganj al-Hadi authored by Shaykh al-Qur’an Qazi Abdul Hadi Rustami (RA). The study involves critical editing, scholarly referencing (takhrīj), and Urdu translation of the manuscript’s relevant sections. Topics examined include prayer times, prerequisites, integrals and obligations of prayer, prostration of forgetfulness (sajdah al-sahw), prayer for the ill and the traveller, as well as invalidators and disliked acts during prayer. The research highlights the manuscript's classical legal reasoning and its relevance to Hanafi jurisprudence.Through analytical commentary and source-based validation, the paper evaluates how Ganj al-Hadi presents structured guidance for common and exceptional prayer cases. The research contributes to Islamic legal heritage by reviving an important but lesser-known manuscript. It is hoped that this work facilitates future scholars and jurists in understanding traditional legal discourse, particularly within the South Asian Hanafi context.
Forgotten Footprints of Faith a Systematic Literature Review of Female Sufis in South Asia
Despite their significant contribution, the role of women in Sufi tradition of South Asia has largely been ignored in the extant literature. This paper which conducted systematic literature review of the study is composed of about 25 articles, books and other materials illuminates the subject on the role of women in Sufism in South Asia. The results indicate that the female Sufis played their role in numerous fields such as gender-free spirituality, shrine culture and religious consciousness. The results also indicate that most of the work done by female Sufis are unrecorded in a way that limits a proper judgment on how the Sufi culture in South Asia owed itself to the contribution of female Sufis.The female figure has been either demarginalized or unrepresented in South Asian religious traditions, particularly, in traditions formed on the basis of Islamic mysticism. This study sheds more light on the significance of the sacred and cultural roles that women have been playing to perpetuate and model Sufi practices. By reviewing a significant amount of an academic literature, one can see that their impact is very wide and significant. However, due to less documentation and identifications in history, a lot of that contribution is shadowed or ignored. Thus, this review underlines the necessity of additional studies, preservation, and representation of women and their position in Sufi customs, especially in the situation of the country of the South Asian region with its multicultural background and rich background.

Through an in-depth review, the paper aims to shed light on the significance of his contributions to religious education and Islamic literature. This research not only acknowledges Syed Amir Ali Malih Abadi’s services but also situates his legacy within the broader tradition of Islamic scholarship.
Study of the Goodness and Evil of Actions in Light of Allama Ayub Dehlavi's Teachings
This article examines Allama Ayub Dehlavi’s perspective on Husn (goodness) and Qubh (evil) of action an essential discourse in Islamic theology (ʿIlm al-Kalām). Central to the discussion is the question of whether the moral value of human actions is determined by reason (ʿaql) or divine command (sharīʿah). Allama Ayub Dehlavi (1888–1969), a distinguished scholar of logic, theology, and philosophy, diverged from major theological schools such as the Māturīdīs, Ashʿarites, and Muʿtazilites. He argued that moral value is not intrinsic to actions themselves but is contingent upon their consequences. Dehlavi proposed a dual framework: actions are evaluated as good or evil based on their worldly consequences (ʿaql-based) and their implications for the hereafter (sharīʿah-based). The article explores Dehlavi’s critical engagement with classical theologians. He opposed the Muʿtazilite and Māturīdī view that reason alone can discern moral values, as well as the Ashʿarite notion that moral value is solely dependent on divine command. Dehlavi maintained that while reason plays a role, it is insufficient to grasp the full moral weight of actions without divine guidance. He further challenged the long-standing philosophical axiom that averting harm (dafʿ al-maḍarrah) is superior to securing benefit (jalb al-manfaʿah). Contrary to this view, Dehlavi asserted that the divine order prioritizes the pursuit of benefit, as creation itself is an act of bringing about good, not merely the prevention of harm. In conclusion, Allama Ayub Dehlavi’s thought presents a critical reappraisal of traditional theological positions, offering a balanced synthesis of reason and revelation while contributing a fresh moral framework within Islamic philosophical discourse.
This article examines the role of the religious science of Tafsir in translating the meanings of the Holy Qur'an. The study aims to emphasize the importance of exegesis (Tafsir) in clarifying the content of the Qur'an by analyzing selected translations of Quranic verses that exhibit semantic ambiguity, which necessitates reference to Tafsir for proper interpretation. A qualitative, descriptive, and analytical approach is employed to highlight the need for exegesis in explaining these meanings. The study provides context and interpretation for each verse based on various sources. Subsequently, the English translations of these verses are analyzed and compared with the original text to ensure that the intended meanings, as explained in the provided exegesis, are accurately reflected in the translated versions. This research underscores the critical finding that translating the Holy Qur'an requires consulting the most authoritative Tafsir texts to fully explain and interpret the verses at different levels. Ultimately, this study aims to foster a deeper understanding of the necessity for collaboration between Islamic religious studies and translation studies to uncover the nuanced meanings within the Quranic text.

A Research-Based Critical Analysis of Julius Wellhausen's Thoughts and Perspectives on the Story of Gharaniq
The story of Gharaniq, also known as the "Story of the Cranes" or "Satanic Verses," is a controversial and fabricated narrative alleging that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was momentarily influenced by Satan, causing him to recite words praising pagan idols during revelation. Orientalists, like Julius Wellhausen, have used this story to criticize Islam and the Prophet, portraying it as a political compromise with the polytheists of Makkah. However, scholars and hadith experts unanimously reject the narrations from Tarikh al-Tabari about this incident, citing their weakness, inconsistency, and unreliability. The story is considered fabricated (Mawdu') and baseless, with no credible foundation in Islamic tradition. Attempts to propagate it are rooted in falsehood and hold no significance, as the integrity of the Quran and the Prophet (peace be upon him) remains firmly established.
A Critical Review of Harald Motzki’s Book "The Sources of the Prophet's Biography (Peace Be Upon Him)" in the Context of Islamic Teachings
The biography of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has been the subject of numerous writings. Without the constraints and restrictions of time and space, scholars illuminated every aspect of the Prophet's life. They brought the economic, social, political, and individual facets into discussion. They thoroughly studied the numerous sources discussing the prophet's life. Westerners actively participated in this competition and played a significant role in the development of important Sira literature. The study of Hadith of Goldziher and Schacht etc., also sparked a debate about the reliability of the Sources of Sira in the West. They reexamined the issues of the Prophet's biography's sources in the latter half of the 20th century. Some orientalists, such as Cook and Crone, blatantly dispute the validity of Islamic sources. Others are attempting to rebuild the Sira tradition while considering them somewhat credible. The problems pertaining to Sira's sources are also addressed in the work under examination: The Biography of Muhammad: The Issue of Sources. It is an assortment of studies written by various academics that address the problems. This collection of essays, compiled by Harald Motzki, is the outcome of a colloquium that was convened in October 1997 at the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands to address the challenge of reconstructing the life of the Islamic prophet using the primary Arabic sources. The work is critically examined and analyzed in brief in this article.
Contribution of Jama’at-i-Islami Hind Leader’s in Islamic studies
several renowned personalities rendered their services to Muslim Ummah during 19th century. Among them, Syed Abūl A’la Maududi was distinguished and blessed with innumerable capabilities. He was a highly prolific writer and orator of his time. Through his books and journals, he instilled his ideologies and thoughts to the people minds, which resulted in the formation of Jama’at-i-Islami. Jama’at-i-Islami was founded at Lahore on August 25, 1941, and Syed Maududi was unanimously appointed its head. Subsequently, he selected the members of the Executive Committee after considering the procedures of the Jamaat. Its areas of implementation included various fields such as Education and Teaching, Publication and Preaching, Administration of Jamaat Affairs and Organized under management. Department of finance and invitation and preaching. In addition, sub-divisional offices are attached to these departments through which Jamaat-e-Islami implements its policies.

Even Maulana Maududi himself has survived on such written assets that are enough to earn praise and appreciation for the services rendered by Jamaat-e-Islami in the field of Islamic studies. Such as, ‘Tafhim Al Qur’ān’‘Diniyaat’ (It has been translated almost in 36 languages.[i]) Khelafat O Molookiyat’ Purdah’ Sarvar e Alam’ Al Jihad Fi Al Islam’‘Masala e Quamiyat Aur Musalman’ and ‘Maujooda Siyasi Kashmakash’ etc. Keywords: Jama’at-i-Islami, Maulānā Abul Lais Nadwi, Muhammad Yousuf, Maulānā Serajul Hasan, Dr. Abdul Haque, Maulānā Syed Jalaluddin Umari.
The Deepening Gaza Crisis: Humanitarian Struggles and International Response to Post-October 7, 2023
The crisis between Israel and Palestine has been so long and has brought immense suffering. This paper focuses on the humanitarian crises, and civilians of Gaza from October 7, 2023, till mid-September 2024. Firstly, a brief history of the conflict with key events that led to the attack of October 7, 2023. It also covered the mass attack by Hamas on Israel that claimed the death of more than 1,200 Israelis. In response, Israel launched "Operation Iron Sword," which threw Gaza into a state of war. This paper highlighted the incident in which the collapse of hospitals, infrastructure, and schools and the shortage of food, water, and medical supplies has been covered. This is clearly the violation of human rights, particularly the unjust detention and torture of civilians, mainly women and children. The paper also provokes the comparison of the condition between hostages taken by Hamas and the arrest of civilians in Gaza by Israel. Also, it observed the international response has been in two faces: the majority of countries condemn the actions of Israel while the rest support the actions in multiple ways. Lastly, the paper presents the most possible ways to resolve the conflict between nations, such as two-state and one-state solutions and alternate ideas like joint peace cities. The study emphasizes the urgent need to bring peace and end this ongoing havoc and to focus on how both parties could live coherently because bloodshed, bombings, and massacres had never been a solution.
An Academic Analysis of the Ownership of State Gifts in the Light of Sharia Law
Human beings, by nature, are inherently social, a characteristic that leads to the formation of what we term as 'society' or 'civics.' To establish a society, individuals cannot thrive in isolation but require the support and interaction of others. The foundation of a community of individuals rests upon certain etiquettes and principles, guided by Islamic Sharia. Among these fundamental principles are mutual attachment, the exchange of gifts, and empathy.This article explores one of these core principles the 'exchange of gifts,' with a particular emphasis on state gifts. In recent times, state gifts have sparked considerable discourse across print and electronic media nationwide. Various perspectives have emerged in legal settings, leading to significant debate. This article aims to critically analyze these differing viewpoints.The following questions are addressed in light of Islamic jurisprudence:Does the state hold any individual rights over these gifts? Who is the rightful owner of such gifts the state or the individual?Is the purchase of these gifts by a ruler permissible under state law?
Imam Al-Shawkani and the Significance of His Tafsir: With a Focus on His Use of Poetry in Explaining the Meanings of Quranic Verses
Imam Al-Shawkani (1173–1250 AH / 1760–1834 CE) stands as one of the foremost scholars in the field of Islamic jurisprudence, theology, and Quranic exegesis. This paper examines the unique features of his Quranic commentary, focusing specifically on his strategic use of classical Arabic poetry to clarify and elaborate on the meanings of Quranic verses.The study investigates how Al-Shawkani utilized poetic references to enrich the understanding of linguistic nuances, cultural contexts, and rhetorical expressions within the Quran. By referencing relevant examples from his tafsir, the research demonstrates the depth of his literary acumen and his ability to connect Quranic themes with the broader Arabic literary tradition.The findings of this study emphasize the scholarly value of Al-Shawkani’s methodology, revealing how his integration of poetry serves not only as a linguistic aid but also as a bridge between the Quran’s divine message and the cultural fabric of Arabic poetry. This paper concludes that his work remains a significant contribution to Quranic studies, offering valuable insights for contemporary scholars and students of Islamic Studies.

Toshihiko Izutsu : Introduction , Methodology of Semantic Analysis of Quran
Toshihiko Izutsu (4th May 1914-7th January 1993) is a Japanese orientalist and Islamist who adopted a different approach to study Quran. According to his theory of semantic analysis , every language has some peculiar key terms that affect forming its world view. His method of semantic analysis to interpret words and terms of Quran lies its foundation in English and other European languages. He is of the view point that Arabic is a rich language and has self sufficient system of vacobulary but its meaning has evolved during revelation of Quran. Key Terms of Quran form a semantic field to define meanings of a word or term which occurs in Quranic paradigm. A word in Quranic semantic field can have a different and enlarged meaning than its lexical meanings. The key terms of Quran he chose are Allah, Nabi, Wahy, Iman , Kafir etc. Arabic language defines ‘basic’ meaning of a word or term of Quran but ‘ relational’ meaning are defined with the context they are used.He has examined the history and evolution of meaning in Jahili or pre- Quranic ( diachronic linguistics) and Quranic Era ( synchronic linguistis). Toshihiko is also known for his Japanese translation of Quran that was fist to be interpreted directly from Arabic Quran. Key words: semantic analysis, key terms, semantic field, basic meaning , relational meaning, diachronic linguistics, synchronic linguistis
A Scholarly Review of the Islamic Principles of Parenting and Contemporary Approaches
This research article explores the dual impact of parental involvement on children’s character and behavioral development, drawing on insights from Islamic teachings in the Quran and Hadith. It investigates how parental attitudes, engagement, and role modeling influence various dimensions of a child's upbringing, including mental, emotional, physical, and moral growth. Positive parental interactions, characterized by love, encouragement, and support, are shown to foster children’s self-esteem, resilience, and adaptability, helping them navigate social and personal challenges. Such interactions also facilitate the development of core moral values, religious understanding, social skills, and self-discipline, which are essential for healthy personality formation. However, the study also addresses the adverse effects that arise from parental neglect, harshness, or excessive strictness, which can create feelings of fear, resentment, and inadequacy in children. These negative experiences may inhibit children's potential for positive personality development and social adjustment. This article underscores the importance of a balanced, compassionate, and informed approach to parenting, with parents serving not only as authority figures but as supportive guides, to help their children become constructive and well-integrated members of society.
The Concept of Contradictory Hadiths According to Allama Shabbir Ahmad Usmani (may Allah have mercy on him) in light of His Book Fath ul Mulhim Sharh Sahih Al-Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him)
This article examines the methodology of Allamah Shabbir Ahmad Usmani(R.A) in addressing conflicting Ahadith and reconciling apparent contradictions in the Prophetic traditions, as seen in his book Fath al-Mulhim. Usmani’s approach closely aligns with the established methodology of the majority of Hadith scholars, following a structured framework. He prioritizes reconciling conflicting narrations to ensure all evidence is utilized without disregarding any part of the Sunnah. When reconciliation is not possible, he examines the possibility of abrogation by identifying the nasikh (abrogating) and mansukh (abrogated), giving precedence to the nasikh if abrogation is proven. In cases where neither reconciliation nor abrogation is possible, he resorts to preference, weighing one Hadith over the other based on its alignment with the Qur'an, Sunnah, or established principles of Islamic jurisprudence (qiyas).The study reveals that Allamah Usmani consistently applies this methodology, demonstrating a commitment to preserving the integrity of the Sunnah while ensuring his conclusions align with the broader objectives of Islamic law. Usmani's approach reflects the traditional framework upheld by Hadith scholars and underscores the need for a systematic methodology in addressing contradictions in the Sunnah.This study highlights the continued relevance of classical Hadith methodologies in contemporary Islamic scholarship, offering a model for scholars and students to approach conflicting narrations with precision and adherence to traditional principles, ensuring accurate application of the Sunnah in various fields of Islamic knowledge.
Critical Discourse Analysis of Islamic Ideological Expressions in Acknowledgement Sections of Theses Written by Scholars in English Language Teaching (ELT)
The objective of current research is to analyze the expressions of Islamic ideology in the acknowledgement sections of theses written by researchers in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) from Pakistan. These acknowledgements, a specific concept in academic writing, offers a particular frame to capture the religious and cultural aspects on scholarly discourse. 30 theses were examined and data were gathered from electronic libraries of universities, online thesis databases, and institutional archives sections of the required theses. It provided enough material and reach data in this regard. Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Doscourse Anaysis (CDA) was applied, centering to Textual Analysis and analyzes concrete words, phrases and sentences that contain the ideology of Islam. The results reveal clear Islamic orientations in the features of the Arabian language used, with recurrent appeals to Allah, prayer and blessing calls, as well as direct references to both Quran and Hadiths. These acknowledgements are not only the writers own faith but it also reveal the inteewined cultural and religious values
The effect of slaughtering methods on meat imported from non-Islamic kingdom.
This research aims to address the most significant issues surrounding imported meat from non-Muslim countries. It seeks to provide Muslims with the necessary knowledge and clarity about their food, enabling them to consume what is permissible and avoid what is forbidden. Given the diverse methods of slaughter in non-Muslim countries, the permissibility of consuming such meat varies, making it crucial to understand the Islamic rulings on imported meat from these countries. Questions about the status of imported meat from non-Muslim countries, alongside the increasing number of Muslims traveling abroad for trade or education, necessitate this knowledge. This study delves into the definition of Sharia-compliant slaughter, its essence, and the impact of slaughter methods on the status of imported meat from non-Muslim countries. The importance of this topic is highlighted by the following points: 1- This topic pertains to the permissibility of consuming animal meat based on its slaughter method, necessitating its study in light of Islamic Sharia. 2- The diverse slaughter methods in non-Muslim countries impact the permissibility of consuming such meat, which is crucial for understanding the rulings on imported meat from these countries. 3- It is vital for Muslims to have knowledge and clarity about their food to consume what is permissible and avoid what is forbidden, significantly impacting their lives.
Exploring Educational Challenges of Hijabi Students in Pakistan: Development and Validation of a New Scale
The objective of the study was to develop a scale addressing the problems and challenges faced by Hijabi girls in their educational environment. The sample consisted of female students from the University of Sargodha in Punjab, specifically those who wear the "Hijab" (N=12). This interview-based study utilized a self-developed interview guide to collect data. Initially, an item pool was generated, followed by pilot testing, resulting in the establishment of a 12-item scale. While the convergent and divergent validity of the scale were assessed, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were not conducted. Future research is recommended to include these analyses for a more thorough validation of the scale. Educators can use insights from the scale to design awareness programs that educate students and staff about the challenges faced by hijabi/veil-wearing girls, fostering a more respectful and understanding school culture.
Binary Opposition as an Element of Structural Semiotics for Expression of Spiritual Unity in Selected Kafis’s of Khwaja Ghulam Farid
This research aims to address the dialectic of binary opposition that is to be found in Khwaja Ghulam Farid's poetry which is primarily concerned with unity and union with God. He advocates for the reunion of humanity, the universe, and God. This reintegration will be evaluated not only as a theological postulate but also in its broader metaphysical context. This call for unity arises on both an epistemic and an ontological level. His metaphysic is at odds with the epistemic division of the world into the “The Known – The Known”. Knowing, to him, is the process by which the knower becomes the known. In its ontological dimension, it calls for the unity of being, a doctrine held dear by Sufi saints and mystics worldwide. Consequently, the linchpin of this study is the examination of the use of semiotic binary opposition by Khwaja Ghulam Farid in order to depict the dialectic of the Oneness of the Supreme Being in his Kafis. The theoretical framework is derived from Structural Semantics: An Attempt at a Method (1966) by A. J. Greimas. The deviant collocations of metaphor and imagery used by the poet receive the closest scrutiny because they are the embodiment of the paradox that Khwaja Ghulam Farid depicts as lying at the heart of the binary opposition of the “The Known – The Known” enigma.
Comparative Analysis of the Portrayal of Islamic Feminist Ideals in A Woman is No Man and The Henna Artist
This study aims at employing content analysis with qualitative approach for undertaking a comparative analysis of the portrayal of Islamic feminist ideals in two contemporary literary works: A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum and The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi. Since both novels provides narratives of the lives of women in Muslim societies, therefore, this study explores issues such as women’s struggle for agency, autonomy, and empowerment in the context of male dominated norms and cultural expectations. Utilizing textual evidence, this research explores the authors’ portrayals of Islamic feminist ideals specifically, gender equality, female education, and women’s rights. Also, whether these ideals are negotiated and contested through a critical engagement of the cultural and social realities contained within the Muslim communities portrayed by the authors. In sum, this study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the multiple voices and perspectives that make up the Islamic feminist movement of today as well as to the complexities of gender relations in current Muslim societies.
Tawakkul and its Dimensions: A Thematic Analysis of Quranic Verses on Tawakkul
The present research examined the Islamic concept of tawakkul by exploring its potential dimensions through thematic analysis of verses of the Holy Quran on tawakkul. The thematic analysis of these verses was undertaken in accordance with Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-step procedure and the findings depicted the significance of tawakkul as a fundamental belief in the religion of Islam. Major themes extracted from the analysis were (i) need and significance of tawakkul in prophets’ lives; (ii) tawakkul as the cornerstone of faith; (iii) optimism and fearlessness; (iv) tawakkul as the absolute right of Allah; (v) tawakkul as a distinguished and praiseworthy characteristic of the believers; (vi) role of putting efforts and then leaving the consequences on Allah; and (vii) being satisfied with and having unconditional acceptance of Allah’s will. All the themes were explained and discussed with reference to the Holy verses. In the light of the extracted themes, the present study defined tawakkul as “a Muslim’s cardinal belief of relying absolutely on Allah while being optimistic about the outcomes of one’s endeavour, andunconditionally accepting Allah’s will without any regret or dissatisfaction”.

The Position of Javed Ahmed Ghamidi and Islamic Scholars on Nikkah and Child Marriage
Nikkah is a Muslim matrimonial ceremony which adopts the form a legal contract between a couple. According to the provisions of the Islamic laws that govern the legalization of marriage, there are various pre-requisites of Nikkah that needs to be fulfilled before official legalization of marriage. Islamic jurists and scholars are of the view that the Nikkah ceremony can be executed at any age provided that wedding processing doesn’t the place before the age of adolescence. The existing Islamic laws prevailed in Pakistan that govern the institution of marriage stipulate that the minimum age for marriage is 16 years. Though, several bills have been tabled in the parliament which has proposed the minimum age limit for marriage to 18 years. Additionally, the Islamic Ideological Council (ICC) has also endorsed the proposal of the parliamentary bill seeking the extension of minimum age limit to 18 years for marriage. Javed Ahmed Ghamidi, a renowned Islamic scholar hold distinct views about the minimum age limit for marriage. He opines that the minimum age limit for Nikkah should be 18 years. Besides, he further asserts that it is not essential for a bride to have a Wali (male guardian) to supervise a nikkah. On the other hand, great majority of the Islamic scholars believe that the presence of a Wali during legalization process of marriage is mandatory. Furthermore, proponents and jurists of Islamic jurisprudence believe that nikkah ceremony cannot be executed without the presence of a Wali and a Gawah (witness). Both bride and groom shall be accompanied by their respective witnesses. Ghamidi on the other hand refute such laws and expresses that neither the presence of a Wali nor a witness is necessary for execution of marriage ceremony. He also advocates that besides attainment of physical maturity, the attainment of mental maturity is also important for a girl to get married. He considers marriage of underage girls a cruelty and discrimination against girls. He proposes that the government of Pakistan should take serious measures to set the minimum age of marriage to 18 years. He also recommends that the wedding procession shall not take place before the attainment of adolescence. He advocates both the attainment of 18 years age and adolescence as pre-requisite for marriage besides the abolition of the condition of mandatory presence of a Wali and a witness for the execution of the marriage process.

Responsibilities of State Regarding Internal Security According To Quran
The glorious Quran stresses upon the Muslims to lay down foundations of a state as socio-political entity where peace and stability reign supreme. An Islamic state safeguards its citizens against all threats to peace and security through adoption of policies and strategies, based on glorious teachings of holy Quran. Allah abhors fasad in all its forms be it criminal action, turmoil, upheaval or subversion. Islam holds the state and the executive head in particular responsible for ensuring peace and stability in its jurisdiction. The ruler has to be very strict in implementation of Quranic injunctions and setting up personal example like the holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and caliph Umer (R.A). The eligibility and competence of the ruler and position holders of law enforcing institutions must be in harmony with the standards set by Quran and Sunnah. The holy Quran provides more than adequate guidance for the state and its institutions to dispense with its obligatory duties including dawah, protection of citizenry, socio-economic welfare and provision of basic needs without any prejudice. The state is responsible to appoint eligible, competent and pious office bearers, thereby maintaining uninterrupted and unhindered communication with its citizens. The Quranic teachings make rulers accountable to guarantee justice across the board and take measures to eliminate any likelihood of elite capture and class discrimination.
A research study of the causes of defeat in the Battle of Uhud (In the context of selected educational books)
The Battle of Uhud is an important battle in Islamic history, which was fought in the second century of Hijri. In the Battle of Uhud, under the leadership of Abdullah bin Jubair, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) assigned 50 horsemen with strict instructions to hold a specific pass. He said, "Even if vultures should tear your flesh apart, do not leave this place until I send for you." It is evident from the study of the Quran and Hadith that the companions were unable to follow the Prophet's instructions, and they left their positions even before the battle concluded, which ultimately led to the Muslims' defeat. Out of the 50 companions, 45 left their positions, and it is commonly mentioned that they did so in pursuit of collecting war valuables. Further investigation is needed to determine whether they left their positions solely for the purpose of collecting war booty or if there were other reasons for their actions. It is worth noting that a year earlier, during the Battle of Badr, a formula for distributing war booty had been established, which included the gathering of all spoils in one place for later distribution. So, it remains unclear whether the companions left their positions due to a desire for war booty or for other reasons. In our educational textbooks, the words related to looting war booty are often used, which can lead to a negative perception of the companions' actions. This research will provide a comparative analysis of various educational materials to present a solution to this issue.
