زوال معاشرہ کےاخلاقی و سیاسی اسباب:سورۃ البقرۃ کا خصوصی مطالعہ: The Moral and Political Causes of the Decline of Society: A Foxed Study of Surah Al-Baqarah
No full textAfter the creation of the universe, Allah Almighty granted human beings a special status among His creations in this world. He did not instill individuality in human nature but rather commanded them to depend on one another and resolve their affairs collectively. He instructed them to live together, guided by mutual relationships, traditions, values, and laws, thus forming what is known as a society. For living within a society, the best laws and principles are required, ensuring that the preferences, rights, and systems of life of everyone are managed in the best possible way. These societal laws and principles were detailed by Allah Almighty in His Book, along with the accounts of various nations of the Prophets. If these nations adhered to these societal principles, their societies continued to progress. However, as these nations began to violate these principles, they steadily declined. Allah Almighty has elaborated on the causes of their downfall in detail, and one clear example is Surah Al-Baqarah, in which Allah discusses the society of the Israelites, the reasons for their prosperity, and the causes of their decline.
These societal issues include the educational, political, and economic problems of the Bani-Israel, and based on these, the causes of both the rise and fall of their nation are explained in detail. The present paper discusses the reasons for the political and moral decline of nations, in light of Surah Al-Baqarah

A research review of the religious and cultural importance of Baytullah in the Banu Umayyad period
Get PDFBanu Umayyad was a prominent and wealthy tribe of Quraysh. The same family ruled the kingdom for almost a century after the Rashidah Caliphate and brought the Islamic conquests to their peak. Like the era of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Caliphate of Rashidah, Muslims were bound to worship during the Umayyad Caliphate. No one was indifferent to religious rituals. There were mosques in cities, towns, villages, etc., where five-time prayers were offered in congregation. During the era of Banwamiyyah, academic circles of hadith, jurisprudence, poetry and literature were held, where scholars who had a passion for knowledge would participate in droves to quench their thirst for knowledge. During the Umayyad period, Syria, Iraq and Hijaz were important centers of Islamic jurisprudence. The eastern Islamic world, especially India, had an administrative relationship with Syria and Iraq. That is why the jurisprudence of Syria and Iraq gained general acceptance in these countries. The utility of Baitullah is shown by the fact that although rebellions began during the Umayyad period, Abdul Malik bin Marwan had a dam built on the Meccan side to protect Baitullah and protect it from floods. Although the Kharijites appeared in Banu Umayyad, the worship status of Baitullah remained, due to which cultural development also took place.Abd al-Malik bin Marwan is considered the real founder of Banuamiyyah because he promoted civilization during his time. It would not be wrong if Umar bin Abdulaziz is described as the fifth Caliph Rashid because he ordered to live according to Islamic principles and emphasized on teaching civility to his subjects, eliminated unnecessary rituals and innovations from the religion of Islam

ظروف اور ان کے استعمال کے متعلق ہدایات نبویﷺ: Prophet's instructions regarding utensils and their use
No full textAllah Almighty has ordered to follow the good manners of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) because his good manners are the source of growth and guidance for all human beings and the solution to the problems faced by human life is not possible without understanding the character and applying it in one's life. In this age, the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ and his virtues should be refreshed in the hearts of Muslims so that the evils and immorality spreading in the society can be stopped and the Muslim Ummah, especially the youth, should be brought back to the teachings of shame and modesty. Imitating the people of the West and non-Muslims, the youth of the Muslim Ummah have left behind the basic teachings of Islam, and instead of following the teachings of Islam and being proud of it; they are imitating Jews and Christians in their ways of life and manners. They consider it a source of pride. One of the most important aspects of biography in the present age is related to the events attributed to the Holy Prophet. That is why the Prophet's teachings regarding the use of utensils are eternal and a source of guidance for all humanity.The Prophet ﷺ always ordered the use of utensils that are moderate and beyond extravagance. What is forbidden to eat and drink can be known about them. Shariat Islam has declared eating and drinking in gold and silver vessels as extravagance
