مصنوعی ذہانت پر مشتمل جنسی تسکین کے ذرائع اور مسلم عائلی نظام: اثرات، خدشات و امکانات
No full textThe family is the cornerstone of a stable and ethical society, emphasized in Islam as a vital institution for spiritual, moral, and social growth. Rooted in the sanctity of marriage, it provides emotional companionship, procreation, and social harmony. However, the advent of robotic sex dolls equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) threatens to disrupt this Islamic family structure. Increasingly adopted in some societies as alternatives to traditional relationships, these devices undermine the core objectives of marriage by reducing human connection to mere physical gratification.
This paper examines the implications of AI Sex bots on the Islamic concept of family, emphasizing their potential to erode emotional bonds, destabilize marriages, and challenge societal values. Through an analysis of Islamic teachings and modern technological trends, the underscores the urgent need for awareness and ethical safeguards to protect the sanctity of family life against such emerging threats
A Research Review of the Manuscript of Mullah Janan's Diwan "Arman e Janan"
Full text linkMullah Janan Kakar Kandahari was an important poet of the Kandahar Poetry School. His Diwan has not yet been published. The only manuscript manuscript we have in our possession that encompasses various poetic genres of Pashto poetry. His poetry, along with art, includes social, scientific, literary, critical, and social themes. Mullah Janan, along with his romantic love poetry in Arman Janan, has taken into account the overall issues of social reform and reconstruction and has made his best contribution to the Afghan Renaissance. After the Afghan Revolution, Afghanistan's academic capital, among other things, suffered great damage. There is no doubt that the discovery of this manuscript of Mullah Janan's Diwan will be a valuable addition to the body of Pashto poetic texts

METAPHORIC LANGUAGE USE: A STUDY OF PASHTOONS’ JIRGA SYSTEM IN SOUTHERN PASHTOONKHWA
Full text linkCultural processes have always been contributory in shaping people’s particular demeanor and point of view. My approach is quite similar to other researchers but my framework is different. My work focuses on metaphorical language used in “Jirga”, an element of unwritten code of life, Pashtunwali, which the Pashtuns have been practicing for centuries. This code strictly guides the lives of Pashtun people living in Afghanistan, Khyber Pashtunkhwa, and Pashtoon belt of Balochistan known as Southern Pashtunkhwa in Pakistan. By using the framework of Pashtunwali, this article provides a new perspective of metaphorical language used in “Jirgas”. As a creative act how cultural processes gets through a persistent process of construction and deconstruction in one of the prime themes that has been discussed in this paper. In the first part of the paper, the researchers have carried out extensive epistemological overview to understand and articulate the fundamental concepts and dominant theories in the discourse. While in the second part an in-depth analysis has supported concurrent parameters and solid language that influences cultures and traditions. How these metaphors fit into the tradition of Pashtoonwali; the unwritten code of Pashtuns is one of the main question, the paper unfolds
بین الاقوامی قانون انسانیت اور اسلامی شریعت میں شہریوں کے تحفظ سے متعلق جنگی اصول: ایک تقابلی مطالعہ
No full textArmed conflicts and wars are governed by principles aimed at protecting civilians, non-combatants, and humanitarian workers. This paper examines four key principles essential for safeguarding non-combatants.
The first principle, distinction, requires that military actions target only legitimate military objectives, ensuring the protection of civilians. The second principle, proportionality, stipulates that any harm must be proportionate to the anticipated military advantage, emphasizing that civilian casualties should be unintentional and within the scope of military objectives. Military necessity, the third principle, restricts warfare to strategic objectives, advocating for the lessor harm of combatants. The fourth principle, precaution, mandates measures to reduce civilian harm before and during attacks. These principles are integral to International Humanitarian Law, focusing on civilian protection.
Islamic Law similarly prohibits harming non-combatants, including women, children, the elderly, and religious figures, while also forbidding unnecessary destruction. It upholds proportionality, military necessity, and precaution, along with broader ethics like justice, mercy, humane treatment, and respect for human dignity. While Islam was an early advocate for these principles, it allows flexibility in extreme situations based on necessity.
This comparative study analyses the similarities and differences between International Humanitarian Law and Islamic Law regarding civilian protection in armed conflicts, highlighting their shared goals and distinct approaches
مال کی عرفی و شرعی حقیقت اور فقہی تقسيمات کا تحقیقی جائزہ: ائمہ اربعہ کی آراء کی روشنی میں
No full textThe reality of wealth, has the Sharia and the dictionary determined? Or it is related to the name of each era. There may be many things that were not a source of wealth in any era, nor did they have any need or importance, but in later times the same thing has definitely become a source of wealth, for example. Sand and soil, which was not considered wealth in the Salaf, but today it is a source of wealth and also a human need. The jurists did not consider soil as wealth, but today it is a valuable resource.
As a result of this, the practice is increasing rapidly that the land owners either build multi-storied flats and sell them in such a way that the value of each floor and the extent to which the houses dominate the space are sold by different people with all the rights. Goes or the right to build a lower floor is sold to one person with the right to build a house above it to another person and to a third person above it. Before this, there was no concept of buying and selling it, but today, due to the diversity of resources and means, they have become worthy of saving. Due to the common use of them, they have become desirable. Therefore, today they should definitely be considered as wealth, the sale and purchase of which cannot be considered illegal. Questions are emerging in this era. And since in the Qur'an and Hadith, the reality of wealth and its definition are not there It has not been specifically used for any meaning that is separate from its literal meaning and meaning, rather, the meaning and meaning in which wealth was used in the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, has been used in the same meaning in the Book and Sunnah. Therefore, in the article under review, the jurists' views on the nickname and Shariah reality, types and definitions of wealth have been mentioned in detail
