Exploring Potential, Achievements and Problems in Pakistan’s Sports Sector
Get PDFObjective
The objective of this study is to assess the potential, performance, and achievements of the sports sector.
Research Gap
Attention is paid to sports industry and sports activities internationally, but inhouse industry needs serious facilitation in terms of industrial development and research.
Design/Methodology/Approach
This study uses mixed methods to assess sectoral export potential, focusing on intensive and extensive margins. Employing the Amiti and Freund (2008) technique, it delivers a dynamic analysis of export market changes, supported by key informant interviews and secondary data.
Findings
Findings show that the export growth of Pakistan's sports goods industry from 2010 to 2020 has been highly volatile, marked by periods of increase and decline. Despite a few strong growth years, the overall export value showed a decrease, largely due to a reliance on existing products, indicating a lack of innovation in goods. The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant losses in 2020. However, the sector's potential for revival remains strong, supported by its reputation for quality products. The growth is witnessed from intensive margins in the industry while the sports industrial cluster/EPZ needs due attention.
Practical Implications
Pakistan's sports goods industry must focus on innovation and product diversification to boost exports. Developing industrial clusters and Export Processing Zones (EPZs) can enhance growth, while improving supply chain resilience is essential for industrial management. Capacity building of the workforce is essential for supporting competitiveness. Influencing the sector's strong reputation through effective branding and marketing can help capture new markets.
Originality/value
This research is original and finds decomposed margins in sports sector in Pakistan and realizes the potential, need for innovation, investment and robust policy support.

دور المجتمع لحماية شرف الإنسان في ضوء السنة النبوية: The Role of Society in Preserving Human Dignity in the Light of the Prophetic Sunnah
No full textIn diverse societies, while individuals vary in temperament and needs, the fundamental human need for connection remains constant. Islam places a strong emphasis on exemplary conduct, including truthfulness, trustworthiness, and kind speech. The Quran describes the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a model of such virtues, advocating gentle communication with the directive: "And speak to people good words." His teachings underscore ideal behavior, such as compassion and avoiding insults. Islam encourages moderation in conflicts, condemns partisanship, and upholds justice while discouraging mockery and disparagement. Partisanship undermines justice and unity, and Islamic texts promote fairness and empathy over bias. Good manners and kind interactions are seen as vital for piety and divine blessings, fostering equality and preventing discrimination. The principle of defending one's honor in Islam aligns with maintaining positive interactions and avoiding public shame. Rooted in the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings, this principle highlights the importance of concealing personal faults and offering private counsel instead of publicizing sins. The Prophet emphasized protecting individual dignity and ensuring that public interventions are managed by appropriate authorities. Unjustly revealing faults is likened to consuming the flesh of a dead brother, a grievous act in Islam. Defending others' honor against unjust accusations is considered meritorious, reflecting Islam’s commitment to personal dignity and communal righteousness

No full textThis contains a review of the moral, educational, and cultural aspects of Islamic urban life in the light of the Seerat Tayyaba. The Prophet (pbuh) founded a welfare and organized urban state in Medina where justice, equality, and social welfare were fundamental. In the moral aspect, honesty, sacrifice, forgiveness, and respect for the rights of the people have been included in the state and social principles. In the field of education, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made the acquisition of knowledge obligatory for every Muslim man and woman, and academic centers such as the Prophet's Mosque and Dar al-Saffa were used for educational activities. The Islamic city-state promoted not only religious but also scientific, medical, and philosophical sciences, which were based on encouraging research, ijtihad, and creativity. Similarly, in the cultural sense, the principles of urban order, justice, economic stability, and environmental protection were promoted in the Islamic state. As a result, a balanced, developed, and mutually fraternal society emerged. This research presents practical suggestions for modern urban life in the light of these guiding principles of the Seerat al-Tayyaba, so that effective solutions to contemporary social and cultural challenges can be provided in the light of Islamic principles
