Evaluating the Nexus Between Political Economy of Financialization and Trade Integration: New Empirical Evidence from Emerging and Developing Countries
No full textFinancialization and trade integration are well-known synchronous terms in the literature on developed economies and their participation in the growing well-being of these nations. The emerging and developing world is trying to catch up to the developed countries by deregulating their economies to reap the benefits of both financialization and trade integration. The study's contribution is twofold in the literature on financialization and trade integration (GVCs) in emerging and developing countries, providing empirical evidence for the link between the two, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach on a group of developing and emerging nations between 1995 and 2020. The findings indicate a robust positive link between trade integration and financialization. The macroprudential policy variable is highly significant, proving the right policy choice to tackle the financial sector in emerging and developing countries
Knowledge Sharing through the Use of Academic Social Networking Sites: A Survey at GC University Lahore
No full textThe study offered an overview of the research on knowledge sharing through the use of academic social networking sites (ASNS’s) at Government College, University, Lahore. The ways that academics engage, share content, collaborate, and communicate have evolved in the age of information and communications technologies. The quantitative survey based on a self-developed questionnaire was conducted to gather data from 150 researchers selected from 03 faculties: the faculty of science, social science, and humanities at Government College, University, Lahore. The researchers of postgraduate students and faculty members were approached from the faculty of sciences (mathematics, physics, and chemistry), the faculty of social sciences (political sciences, psychology), and the humanities (English). The study demonstrated that the researchers of Government College University, Lahore, were well aware of the use of academic social networking sites. Their use of these sites is increasing in terms of knowledge sharing, collaboration, diffusion of studies, and information management, and gives a new perspective and better understanding of this phenomenon. The results showed that all sample members (100%) use ASNS’s, with female researchers using them more frequently than male researchers (45%). According to the findings, 40% of the researchers had an MPhil and 60% had a PhD. The data show how responses were distributed throughout the Government College, University, Lahore's departments. At 35%, mathematics is the most represented department, while sociology is the least at 6%. The results showed that the PhD researchers have a significantly higher mean in ASNS’s use compared to MPhil researchers (p = .014). However, there is no significant difference between MPhil and PhD researchers regarding knowledge sharing (p = .823). According to the results of the one-way ANOVA test, there is no statistical difference in the use of ASNS’s (p = 0.595) and knowledge sharing (p = 0.394) based on designations. ASNS’s are crucial and a necessity for researchers in academic institutes. The study will be helpful for academic researchers to become more conversant and proficient in the use of resources and services offered by the ASNS’s. The study will also establish that academic social networking sites are invaluable resources being used at individual and organizational levels to support the academic community
Bank Embranchment, Operating Efficiency and Profitability of Islamic Banks Selected Countries
No full textDespite the growing demand for non-interest banking products and services, inadequate embranchment and inefficiency of the branches tend to hamper the banks’ profitability. This study therefore assessed the effects of bank embranchment and operating efficiency on profitability of non-interest banks in selected countries. Specifically, the study examined the effects of number of bank branches, cost to income ratio as well as their interaction, on return on assets of the banks. Data were extracted from IFSB database and were analysed using Fixed effects regression technique. Results of data analysis revealed that bank branches had positive significant (Coff= 2.28, p <0.05) effect while cost to income ratio had negative significant (Coeff=-0.11, p <0.05) effect on return on asset. The interactive effect of cost to income ratio was also found to significantly negative (Coeff=-0.03, p <0.05) on return on asset. The study concluded that bank embranchment and operating efficiency are key to improved profitability of non-interest banks in the selected countries. The study recommended that bank regulatory authorities should provide enabling environment to facilitate establishment of more branches of non-interest banks particularly in the rural communities. This will increase bank profitability and encourage financial inclusion. In addition, the management of non-interest banks should make efforts to control operating the cost of running the branches to have maximum benefit of embranchment on profitability
تحفظ نسل کو درپیش خطرات اور مقاصد شریعہ کی روشنی میں حل :ایک تحقیقی و تجزیاتی مطالعہ: Threats to the Preservation of Lineage and Their Solutions in the Light of the Objectives of sharīʿah: An Analytical and Research-Based Study
No full textThis study describes the preservation of lineage (ḥifẓ al-nasl) as one of the five indispensable objectives (maqāṣid al-sharīʿah) in Islamic law, concentrating on contemporary threats to human lineage and the sharīʿah-basedresolutions that safeguard it. Drawing upon the Qur’an, Sunnah, and classical juristic thought, the Study examines moral, social, and legal challenges that endanger the continuity and purity of human generations—such as moral leniency, media influence, economic instability, delayed marriage, the destruction of family structures, and the normalization of unnatural sexual behaviors. The research highlights how these factors collectively undermine the divine order intended to protect human dignity, family integrity, and social balance.Through an analytical and descriptive approach, the article outlines sharīʿah-guided measures to counter these threats, including the promotion of chastity, encouragement of early and simple marriage, enforcement of legal restrictions on illicit sexual relations, protection of lineage through laws of maḥramiyyah and ʿiddah, and strengthening of moral education and media ethics. The study accomplishes that preserving lineage is not merely a biological or social concern, but a comprehensive religious duty that sustains both moral and civilizational continuity within the framework of Islam

مواقف العلماء من حكم نقاب المرأة المسلمة وحجابها الكامل قديمًا وحديثًا دراسة تحليلية مقارنة: View Points of the Scholars about Covering the Face and Complete Body for A Muslim Woman: A Comparative and Analytical Study
No full textThis research is a comparative and analytical study, which focuses on the ruling about veiling the entire body including face and hands of a Muslim woman. Views of classical and contemporary scholars regarding the issue have been presented by the researchers in this study along with the reasons of their difference in opinion regarding the issue. Moreover, they compare these opinions, analyse them academically and clarify the intellectually convincing view in the light of reason and revelation. Furthermore, the researchers examine the degrees of veracity and authenticity of aḥādīth of the Prophet (sws) that the scholars adduce in their contestations. In this regard, the researchers have used two approaches: The first is the comparative one in which different opinions of the scholars regarding the issue are discussed in detail, compared and the intellectually convincing view point is explained. The second is an analytical approach which focuses on a critical analysis of the viewpoints of scholars, study of some Qur’ānic texts, evaluation of Prophetic traditions they adduce and an analysis of their chains (asānīd) and text (matn) according to the science of hadīh. The researchers conclude that the valid and intellectually convincing view is what the majority of the scholars says: it is not obligatory for a Muslim woman in Islamic Shari'ah to cover her face and veil her entire body in front of unrelated men. Rather, the holy Qur'an permits her to keep her face, hands and feet uncovered and visible for all. This permission for her is also proven by many Prophetic narratives and the common practice of the women who were companions of the Prophet (sws) at the time of his Prophethood
حرمت اکتنازاورگردش زر کا اسلامی تصور : The Prohibition of Iktināz and the Islamic Concept of Currency Circulation
No full textIn a capitalist system, wealth is concentrated in a few hands. Due to the lack of restrictions on earning wealth, two classes are born in the society, the class of the rich and the poor class. First of all, Islam forbids the use of illicit means for the accumulation of wealth and by ruling determines the share of the poor from the wealth obtained through lawful means. Due to which the wealth starts moving from the rich to the poor. This transfer of wealth increases aggregate demand in the economy. An increase in production becomes necessary to meet this increased demand, which opens up more employment opportunities for people.
Islam is a complete code of life that provides complete guidance to its followers in every aspect of life. Islam has always taken care of the collective consciousness of man. Similarly, Islam provides a valid basis for reforming the social system and eliminates the factors that lead to corruption and unrest in the society. Today our social system is suffering from corruption and lawlessness. Among the main causes of this corruption and insecurity are economic reasons (Usury, gambling, bribery, corruption, fraud ,aetkas and Iktināz) which are declared illegal by Islam. And did not allow corrupt economics to interfere in any field of affairs. Among the above-mentioned economic reasons, only the sanctity of Iktināz and its related rulings will be discussed here to clarify the concept of currency circulation in Islam
