مشرق اور مغرب کی تعیین قرآن وسنت کی روشنی میں ایک تفتیشی جائزہ

Noor Akram — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:12:22 +0000

The concept of East and West has existed since ancient times. The side from which the sun came up/ rises was called the east, and the side from which it goes down/sets was called the west. In the course of British rule, due to the availability of fast travel resources, as well as British conquests from the American continent to the Asian continent, as well as the problems of world trade. There was a need for a universal beginning and end date. Because the world is round, and the sun rises and sets every hour of the day in certain areas. For this reason, it was considered necessary to establish a date line from which the day and date should be considered to begin. In the Pacific Ocean, the date line between America and Asia is accepted. Although there is no geographical definition of East and West in the Qur'an and Sunnah, but if we examine the words used for East and West in the Qur'an, the wording of the Dual used in it for East and West with the story of Dhul-Qarnain together, we understand that the date line between Africa and America should be considered. In this case, the word Eastern in the Holy Qur'an refers to North and South America, whereas the word Western refers to Europe and African continent. In addition, the word “Mashriqain” and “Maghrabain” may also indicates that there should be two date lines, separately for the sun and the moon, respectively. Therefore, if the date line of the moon is set at a distance of 180 degrees from the date line assumed after Europe and Africa, then the problem of the date of moon can also be solved.

برصغیر میں فقہ اسلامی کے اجتماعی اجتہاد کےرجحان کاتجزیاتی مطالعہ

The trend of collective ijtihad is the most important trend found in the subcontinent. If we look at the history of Islamic jurisprudence, Islamic jurisprudence has been prevailing on private practices, but with the passage of time, this concept emerged that collective ijtihad should be promoted in Muslim countries. The strong voices of this trend in the subcontinent are Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Maulana Muhammad Taqi Amini, Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Banuri, Dr. Hameedullah and Dr. Mahmood Ahmed Ghazi. Collective ijtihad is possible in many cases. For example, one case is that ijtihad e mutlaq should not be done. However, if necessary, the problems can be solved in the light of the principles of aimma arbaa. But these jurists have also set conditions for mujtahids for collective ijtihad, which is very important to take into account. Collective ijtihad is a modern trend, so its definitions have been defined differently by different scholars. A definition has not yet been agreed upon. Nowadays, when the world has become a global village, there is an urgent need for collective ijtihad. The possible cases for collective ijtihad may be, change of age and alias, change of expediency, collective ijtihad in issues of collective nature, in legislation, in judicial matters, in economic affairs, etc.

مصالح اور مفاسد کے درمیان موازنہ و ترجیح: عصر حاضر کے مسائل کا شرعی و عقلی تجزیہ

Arshad Aziz, Hafiz Abdul Majeed — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:19:54 +0000

Masalih refers to goodness and encompasses everything that counters corruption. Mafasid, meaning corruption, is the opposite of Masalih and signifies harm, whether to individuals or the community. In Islamic jurisprudence, actions that uphold the purposes of Sharia are considered Masalih, while those that threaten these purposes are deemed Mafasid. The primary criterion for distinguishing between Masalih and Mafasid is Sharia, followed by rational judgment when Sharia does not provide explicit guidance. There are four types of Masalih and Mafasid, each with varying significance in decision-making processes. When comparing Masalih and Mafasid, three primary forms of comparison arise: comparing two Masalih to determine the greater good, comparing two Mafasid to identify the lesser evil, and comparing Masalih and Mafasid to balance benefits against potential harms. This framework is particularly relevant to contemporary issues where benefits and harms are intertwined. For instance, while marriage is a recommended practice in Islam, modern wedding ceremonies often involve prohibited practices such as extravagance and ostentation, which are Mafasid. Similarly, religious events sometimes suffer from extravagance and hypocrisy, overshadowing their intended spiritual benefits. Addressing these issues requires a careful application of Sharia and rational analysis to ensure that the benefits (Masalih) outweigh the harms (Mafasid). This approach helps maintain the integrity of Islamic principles while effectively navigating modern challenges. By prioritizing greater benefits and minimizing harm, individuals and communities can better align their actions with the objectives of Sharia, fostering overall welfare and justice.

اسلام سے قبل جزیرہ نمائے عرب کے بازار اور ان کا نظم و نسق: تاریخی جائزہ

Muhammad Abubakar Siddique — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:20:39 +0000

Before Islam, there was an integrated system of trade in the Arabian Peninsula. In view of the needs of the cities and nations settled there, the chain of trade was spread to all sides of the Arabian Peninsula. The commercial practices of pre-Islamic Arabs had a direct influence on their lives, lifestyles, habits, and policies. In addition, many vices and disorders prevailed in these bazaars. The robbery of trade caravans was a national problem in almost every region, and a special treaty was made between the tribes to prevent it. Some other elements were prevalent in this trade system among Arabs, which was causing chaos in a society that was in dire need of reformation. The inhabitants of Arabia depended on the seasonal markets of Arabia for trade purposes and the provision of basic needs. Despite all this, the multinational trade agreement was a second major reason for the Quraysh's supremacy over Arabia. There was a dire need for reform within this Arab trade system. That is why Rasulullah ﷺ also used this trade verse for da'wah purposes. The evolution and influence of Muslims in the field of trade after the Hijra were influenced by the policies of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which is a constant subject of study. This paper presents research on Arab bazaars, their locations, security systems, modes of trade and trending practices, the security of trade corridors, and their systems.

وائیل بی ۔ حلاق کی کتاب اسلامی قانون کا تعارف: اہم مضامین و جائزہ

This research paper primarily deals with the evolution and development of Islamic Law as has been enunciated by the famous scholar Wael B. Hallaq in his book “An Introduction to Islamic Law” --- an abridgement of his magnum opus “Sharia: Theory, Practice, Transformations.” Wael is of the view that Qadis, Jurists, legists and Muftis were the fundamental pillars in flourishing the Islamic Law independent of the state intervention whatsoever. He also endeavours to describe in detail the sources of Islamic Law and the establishment of four famous Sunni Schools of Thought in the tenth century and “Study Circles” thereof played vital role in thriving them. The “Ijtihad” of the founders Imams of these schools became the main instrument of the development of Islamic Law. However, during the reign of Saljuqs in eleventh and twelfth century, “Study Circles” were replaced by “Madrassas” and their notable prime minister Nizam-ul-Mulk ran these madrassas under the state control; hence, making the Qadis, Jurists, legists and Muftis the servant of the state. Ottoman Turks gave Qadis not only the privileges of executive and judiciary but also the rights of collecting tax and accountability. The second part of the book deals with the pernicious impact of the colonization on Islamic World by the European Powers particularly on Islamic Law and how it suffered by the notion of “nation state” and “nationalism” --- two rudimentary ideas of Western Civilization. Lastly, this paper makes an effort to analyze the cataclysmic change brought in Islamic Law in Islamic states such as Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, Indonesia and Pakistan hence pushing them to Modernity.

Zia-Ul-Mustafa Makki Al-Azhari , Ata Ul Mustafa — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 05:21:09 +0000

The relation between husband and wife sustains and generates love, kindness, mercy, compassion and self-sacrifice. Husband and wife, particularly as father and mother, are two significant pillar upon whom the structure of the family rests. Allah Almighty declares some rights of wives and husbands upon each other which they have to fulfill for living a happy life. In this article, we will elaborate some rights of the wife according to Qur'an and particularly, in the light of life of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H). The rights of a wife regarding marriage, alimony, dower maintenance, divorce, inheritance etc. have been guaranteed by Islam. The wife is a responsibility that a Muslim must never neglect. In this matter, like in all others, the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) is an excellent example for all husbands. The article focuses on the beautiful aspects of His way of dealing with His wives, such as the Holy Prophet's kindness on them, the way He relaxed and had fun with them and justice exhibited in His interactions with His wives.
