No full textDays encompass the cycles of light and darkness - one complete cycle is called a day and night, or simply a day. Days hold distinct importance for celebrating joy and sadness. Certain days also serve as occasions for performing religious rituals. Many religions worldwide celebrate special days throughout the year, each imbued with rich cultural and historical significance. The significance of days varies across different religions and philosophies. The Jewish Sabbath is dedicated to spiritual observance and rest. Hanukkah: Celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after its desecration. Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) are the most solemn days in Judaism. Easter: Commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, marking the culmination of Lent and signifying victory over death. Sunday: Considered the holy day in Christianity, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christmas: Celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, observed with festive decorations, gift-giving, carols, and special church services. Friday: The designated day of communal prayer for Muslims. Eid al-Fitr: Marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and spiritual reflection. Eid al-Adha: Commemorates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael in obedience to God. Days are seen as signs of God's creation and blessings. They represent opportunities for God's mercy and grace to shower upon His creations. The interpretation and meaning of days differ across religious and philosophical frameworks. While Abrahamic faiths emphasize days as divine manifestations, non-Abrahamic traditions utilize them for joyful celebrations and ritualistic practices.

A Study in the Light of Inheritance Rules in Surat al-Nisa and Pakistani Court Decisions سورۃ النساء میں احکامِ وراثت اور پاکستانی عدالتی فیصلوں کی روشنی میں ایک مطالعہ
No full textInheritance is a broad subject. Which has been mentioned many times in different contexts in the Holy Qur'an. Out of which two concepts i.e. financial inheritance and intellectual inheritance have been mentioned a lot. Since Muslim commentators and jurists have drawn conclusions with great clarity about inheritance. While very little research has come to light regarding heredity. Keeping this need in mind, this paper has tried to highlight its other examples by describing the general meaning of inheritance. The inheritance that is mentioned the most in the Holy Qur'an is "Inheritance leave". In the Shariah rules, only inheritance is a rule that has its own summary distribution. That is, the Almighty God himself has determined the parts of the estate, which is distributed immediately after the death of the owner. On the one hand, distribution of inheritance gives wealth to the rightful ones, on the other hand, the concept of ownership of one person ends. This is the justice of Islam

Stereotypical Representation of a Woman: A Study of a Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Hosseini
Get PDFThe current study is to investigate how Afghan women are socially and religiously excluded and repressed. It also demonstrates how resilient women can be in the face of abuse and how their repressed bodies can empower other women. The text of Khalid Hosseini's book A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007) serves as the primary source of research data. Additionally, it was gathered from secondary sources such as reviews and articles that are listed in the reference list. Using content analysis, the chosen text is examined within the theoretical context of Spivak's (1988) notion of subaltern.The study breaks down the battles fought by oppressed women to survive and break free from the crushing bonds of violence and repression. As the underclass, Nana, Mariam, and Laila are aware of the concept of "endurance" despite their poor living circumstances. They demonstrate their level of resistance before banding together to oppose societal prominence.Mariam, the harami, gives her life in order to protect Laila, and Laila goes on to become the voice of her generation, one that will speak up against the mindset of the underclass. This study provides a "Yes" response to the question "Can the subaltern speak?" by utilizing Spivak's idea of subaltern. It sends a message that subaltern groups will cease to exist if they band together and resist unfair norms; this will also apply to academics and researchers.Because it examines literature that tells the stories of practically every household and location on Earth, the study stands out. Even with advancements in women's rights, the feminine gender remains subjugated. It also exposes the practices of forced or child marriages, gender-biased educational systems, the legal system, and gender inequity.

No full textThe methods and trends to teach students the English language is changing widely over time. Technology-based programs and computer-assisted software are taking place rapidly. These programs help both teachers and learners. The use of ‘Blogs’ or ‘Weblog’ and ‘Vlog’ for language teaching facilitates language learning. The present paper aims to analyze the rationale for using Vlogs and Blogs for ELT practitioners. It further investigates the merits and demerits of its usage because technology has become an integral part of teaching. For this purpose, an open-ended questionnaire was disseminated to 20 ESL teachers. A qualitative study found that vlogs improve students’ listening, pronunciation, and conversation skills, while blogs allow users to read and write materials. Instructors use it to read up-to-date material and motivate their students to learn easily and effectively. Findings prove that most participants use technology in different teaching activities and situations. These are more positive and a few negative impacts on teaching and learning the English language. The study is significant because modern classrooms have different requirements than traditional classrooms, and students prefer technology on notes and tough reading materials.

The study unveils women’s plight in the politically-turbulent Afghan society; examines how Afghan women tolerated the predicament ratified upon them, and the resistance they imparted to get an inimitable identity. It believed that women can play an undeniable role in the progress of a country, however, if they are deprived of their rights, there would be ultimate feminism insurgence and emancipation against the injustices. Through his writings, Hosseini tried to give voice and moral encouragement to Afghan women by constructing empowered, resistant, rebellious, and strong female characters. This study traces how Hosseini interrogates the patriarchal hierarchies that encompass the identity of women and analysis the political and social bigotries directed towards the female protagonists, who exhibit socio-political activism throughout their distressing journey. The conclusion holds that in a patriarchal system, women cannot cope with the domination and intolerance of the society, however, women’s friendship and unification prove resistance as a sanctuary for them.

مرثیہ کی روایت میں دکن کا کردار
No full textOne of the reasons for the influx and concentration of Iranians in the Deccan was the trade from Iran to India. After the emergence of the Bahmani Empire, the Iranians who came here not only settled here, but also brought their own customs and culture. They brought along his beliefs, which included their attachment and devotion to Hazrat Imam Hussain, and which they must have been expressing in a covert manner, if not overtly. However, it can be said that in view of all these things, they may have started mourning ceremonies soon. From the study of the history of elegies, it is revealed that the practice of mourning and elegies started in the Deccan, if not before, certainly from the reign of Ahmad Shah Bahmani. When the Bahmani Empire fell, three kingdoms in particular got a chance to become independent. These included the states or kingdoms of Bijhapur, Ahmednagar and Golconda.
