Get PDFReligious leaders, faith-based organizations, and communities play major role in creating health care awareness, reducing illnesses and in this way they are saving precious lives of humankind. They are the primary source of support, comfort, guidance in health care and social service for the communities. Different religions and religious communities have been sharing health care information throughout the history to protect their own members and wider communities, which are more likely to be accepted by other health and medical sources. They are providing spiritual support during public health emergencies, pandemic and other health challenges. In this context, Islam is the most influential religion of the world that provides spiritual, moral and physical support to his followers specially and generally to all humanity on this important issue.

The harmful effects of social media on the Islamic community and the position of Islam towards it
Get PDFSocial media is a new media platform that is used by the whole world with different beliefs, ideas and cultures. It has a strong impact on people’s ideas and beliefs, both positively and negatively. There is no harm to use it in what is beneficial to the Muslim community, and It is forbidden to use it in what brings harm, corruption to the Muslim community. Therefore, it’s necessary to monitor its users among the family members, especially adolescents, men and women, and make them aware of the optimal use of these devices, and the need for parents to be with their children to guide them and make them aware of the correct use of this social media. Since social media has multiple and varied damages to the Islamic community, the correct use is to abide by the Islamic regulations when using it; To achieve benefit and salvation in this world and the hereafter. Finally, I mentioned some solutions and recommendations for social media users to ward off their evils and bring about their benefits. May the Almighty Allah preserve and protect the Muslim men and women from all misfortunes of temptation
English language teaching in religious seminaries in Pakistan: A broken bridge to the future
Get PDFPakistan has not been able to introduce uniform education system. The country is polarized over methods and goals of education. In the context of language teaching, private English medium schools promote English language while public sector schools rely on Urdu. At the rare extreme are more than 13000 registered madrassas (religious seminaries) where an independent scheme of studies is followed with Arabic at the top as language of religion. The lack of appropriate attention on the part of the government has led to the growth of an independent religious education system that does not teach English language. Thus, the graduates fail to compete in job market that is dominated by English. The current study is a qualitative investigation of English language teaching situation in selected madrassas purposively selected with data generated through 42 in-depth interviews from students and teachers. The study reveals that madrassas do not have trained teachers and allied facilities for teaching English. The current situation is deplorable and asks for timely State intervention to introduce meaningful reforms with a view to promote English language in madrassas to safeguard the future of about 2 million graduates in the English-dominated job market and to mainstream religious education
Divine Sovereignty: A Conceptual Flaw in the Political Theology of Contemporary Islamic Movements

A Modern Jewish Festival Passover- A descriptive study-
Get PDFPassover is a famous festival of Jews, in Hebrew“Pesach” it means “the feast of freedom”. It is celebrated by Jewish people in spring eight days progressive on the Jewish calendar in the month of Nissan (the first month of new year) through which they memories their exodus or emancipation from slavery of 400 years in Egypt or another world in this ritual they remember their ancient liberation from slavery which are gained by their ancestors in the era of Prophet Moses, it was 3500 ago.Why don't these religions agree to celebrate a day?

They do not raise this issue so much, so I would suggest to both my Muslim scholars and the people that they should refrain from such careless and unsolicited work in religious matters and should not exaggerate it in any way.

The Tafsir which was not taken from the significance of the words of the verse and its context is rejected
No full textAllah swt created the human being and taught him to speak therefore Allah bestowed the human with the blessing of the tongue to communicate and Allah swt sent messengers in their language in order to understand the message. Allah has not sent any messengers but in their native language so they comprehend (surah Ibrahim verse 4) Allah chose the Arabic language to send the Quran because of its purity and chose the best human in creation to pass the message to His companions, the companions understood most of the Quran but a few unambiguous verses were explained by The prophet (pbuh) and the understanding of the companions is evident for those who came after (the Muslims) and this the doctrine of all Muslims.There after many denominations of groups occurred who’s understanding contradicted that of the companions and sometimes translated to their own convenience but the rightly guided scholars set rules so in order the Quran is not misinterpreted and preserve its true message, the most important rule is that the interpretation of the words must be in sequence otherwise it will be deemed as invalid
The Concept of Maqāsid al-Shari’ah
No full textReading Islam, from a Sharīʿah (law) perspective, reveals a direct correlation between human interest and objectives of the Sharīʿah (Islamic law) stipulated by Allah (sw). The objective of Islamic law, comprehensively takes into consideration the worldly existence of man as well as the afterlife, both of which are interrelated, to achieve success in both worlds. Therefore, the main objectives of Islamic law are to protect human lives, their intellect, wealth, religion, progeny and dignity and provide all the necessary principles to govern themselves by a justice system, laid out by Divine revelation. On the other hand, ignoring the pursuit of such objectives renders the practice of Islamic law as ineffective. The early Islamic scholars endorsed the examination of the Islamic rules and its principles (Fiqh & Usūl al- Fiqh), with little emphasis on Sharīʿah. As a result of which, they neither explicitly elaborated nor presented the science in their works. Modernity was a turning point in Islamic science, the Muslim intellectuals (ʿUlāmā) adopted various approaches to develop the Islamic legal system attempting to comprehend the performance of the Qur'an and the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the context of new challenges, which resulted in exploring the overall understanding of the objectives of the entire Sharīʿah and its rules.This paper’s research methodology entails presenting a review of the contemporary literature on the pioneers of the theory of Maqᾱsịd al-shari’ah and to suggest a few research directions for future developments. The paper will employ a historical and content analysis method to achieve its objective. The expected outcome of the paper is that it will serve as a base for future studies in Islamic jurisprudence
