The Conflict between Materialism and Social & Family Values in Saul Bellow’s Seize the Day
Full text linkThe family tie, in the context of America, is in peril under the impact of ruthless materialism defining the values of society anew. After the Second World War people were getting more and more preoccupied with self-interest and losing the family values and social integrity: fathers did not care for their sons and wives did not for their husbands, rather their relationships assumed an unusual dimension that was fully based on give and take policy. Saul Bellow in his Seize the Day portrayed the plight of modern men striving for realizing American dream. Through a father-son relationship, the writer depicts a deprived son aspirant to communicate and attain love and affection, and the bullying indifference of the advantaged father to filial affection. Saul Bellow, with a sympathetic touch, shows how physical nearness of father and son is of little use since the father Dr. Adler trickily maintains a long spiritual distance from his son Tommy Wilhelm. This paper focuses on the pathetic scenario of the American society as reflected in the novella and studies these aspects from Islamic perspective

Growth of Industrial Entrepreneurship in Bangladesh: A Study of Bank Financed Engineering Industries
Full text linkThe study is on the growth of industrial entrepreneurship with special reference to the growth of entrepreneurship in selected bank financed engineering industries in Bangladesh during the period 1973 to 1990.

Islamic Management and Its Present Applications in Bangladesh
Full text linkManagement plays an important role in the socio-economic development of a country. The concept of management has been developed in western economy in recent years. But Prophet Muhammad (SM) developed a pragmatic system of management (Islamic Management) in the seventh century in his Medanian first Islamic state and very successfully managed an ignorant society in a very systematic manner.

No full textThe Problem of heresy and hereties from the beginning of Islam till dateTaha Jabir Al-alwany has examined the case of „Ridda‟ and Murtad and tried to answer many puzzling questions. Has Allah prescribed any worldly punishment for heresy (Riddah), have the Quran and Sunnah come with any Shari‟ah punishment for abandoning religion for any reason? Has the Prophet executed anyone only because of Riddah, if it was not associated with other crime? Why did the Prophet say to those who asked him to kill hypocrites, „People should not be given the chance to say that Muhammad kills his own companion.‟? Have the Ummah reached to the consensus (Ijma) taht a Murtad should be killed? Had Abu-Bakar launched his war against the Murtad only because of abandoning Islam? Or it was because they also carried weapons and plotted against the public security and to destroy the then Muslim Ummah
