In the eyes of Iqbal, the poets of the subcontinent

Retrieving the Past in “Mujhy Apni Ankhon Mein Mehfooz Kar lo”
Full text linkIn Carlos Fuentes\u27s Constancia, the retrieval of the past is a central theme, intertwining personal memory with historical consciousness. Characters grapple with elusive histories and lost loves, seeking to understand their present identities through fragments of what has been. The past isn\u27t static; it actively shapes and haunts the present. Fuentes explores how individual and collective pasts—often suppressed or forgotten—are reconstructed, reinterpreted, and reclaimed. Dr. Whitby Hull\u27s quest to understand his wife Constancia\u27s enigmatic past embodies this struggle, highlighting how unearthing history is crucial for self-discovery and making sense of existence
Existentialism in Intizar Hussain\u27s Fiction
No full textThe philosophy of existentialism is the philosophy of human life. Extant is in every respect primary, unique, self-aware, and self-reflective. Existentialism is a movement based on the inner struggle of the individual. War, conflict, and industrial development have adorned literature with existential themes such as fear, mental confusion, lack of recognition, alienation, sense of loneliness, moral and spiritual decline, futility, and the desire for death. Due to the partition of India and political and social uncertainty, we find all these qualities in Intizar Hussain\u27s fiction. The characters in his stories are victims of existential anguish, torture, and a sense of guilt. They mourn the loss of individual identity as well as national identity. His stories have an atmosphere of strange helplessness, hopelessness, and inaction
صحیح مسلم کی ” کتاب الرویا “کی نفسیاتی عکاسی:جدید نیوروسائنس کی روشنی میں تجزیاتی مطالعہ: Psychological Reflection of Dreams in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim’s Kitāb al-Ru’yā: An Analytical Study in the Light of Contemporary Neuroscience
No full textThe chapter on dreams (Kitāb al-Ru’yā) in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim constitutes one of the most systematic classical Islamic treatments of oneiroscopy, dream taxonomy, and the epistemological status of veridical dreams (ru’yā ṣādiqah). This study undertakes a interdisciplinary re-examination of these narrations through the lens of twenty-first-century affective and cognitive neuroscience, including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep architecture, threat-simulation theory, memory consolidation models, predictive processing frameworks, and the role of the default mode network in self-referential and prophetic cognition.By mapping key ḥadīths — such as the tripartite classification of dreams (from Allah, from Satan, and from the self’s subconscious discourse), the physiological signs of true dreams, and their occurrence predominantly in the latter part of the night — onto recent neuroscientific data concerning dream generation, emotional regulation, and metacognitive insight during sleep, the research identifies striking convergences as well as productive tensions. Particular attention is given to the Islamic emphasis on dreams as a form of attenuated revelation (one-forty-sixth part of prophethood) and how this correlates with contemporary findings on exceptional autobiographical memory, lucid dreaming, and the heightened activation of temporo-parietal and prefrontal regions in spiritually significant dream states.Rather than reducing one tradition to the other, the study proposes a dialogical model in which pre-modern Islamic dream hermeneutics and modern neuroscience mutually illuminate the psychospiritual architecture of human consciousness. The findings suggest that the Muslim scholarly tradition anticipated several mechanisms now corroborated by polysomnography and fMRI studies, while simultaneously preserving a transcendent dimension that remains outside the current empirical paradigm
عدم برداشت کے بڑھتے ہوئے رجحانات کے معاشرتی اسباب قرآن مجید کی روشنی میں :تحقیقی جائزہ: Growing Trends of Intolerance and Their Societal Impacts in the Light of the Holy Qur’an: A Research Review
No full textThis research examines the growing trends of intolerance in contemporary society in the light of the Qur’an. Intolerance has emerged as a serious social problem, leading to division, conflict, and moral decline. The study identifies major social causes of intolerance such as ignorance, arrogance, prejudice, blind imitation, misuse of religion, injustice, and the lack of moral and spiritual values. By analyzing relevant Qur’anic verses, the research highlights how the Qur’an strongly condemns intolerance, extremism, and unjust behavior, and instead promotes patience, wisdom, justice, dialogue, respect for human dignity, and social harmony. The study adopts a qualitative and analytical approach, drawing evidence from Qur’anic teachings to demonstrate that intolerance is not only a social deviation but also a moral and spiritual crisis. The research concludes that the Qur’an provides comprehensive guidance for addressing the root causes of intolerance and for establishing a balanced, tolerant, and peaceful society based on justice, mercy, and mutual respect
Safia Akhtar\u27s Feminism (In the Context of "Harf-e-Ashna" and "Zair-e-Lab")
No full textSafia Akhtar is the wife of the renowned Urdu poet, Jan Nisar Akhtar. She is a modern Indian woman with progressive and feminist consciousness. This thought is clearly expressed in the collections her letters, "Harf-e-Ashna" and "Zair-e-Lab," which she wrote to her husband. In these letters, we see a new woman of the twentieth century who dares to move forward with the support of her self-confidence. She rejects the unnecessary restrictions imposed by society and breaks the iron chains of age-old and outdated traditions. She knows how to protect her rights. In her feminist consciousness, we see a balance, softness, and harmony with nature. She neither shouts slogans to abolish the concept of gender from society nor demands the rejection of the distinctions of the natural and social positions of men and women. She does not demand that women be treated like men, but rather that she wishes to be given all rights on an equal footing, recognizing and understanding the natural differences between men and women. In her letters, we see a practical picture of a feminist woman who is a follower of "New Age Feminism"
Allama Iqbal and Legislation
Full text linkThis article provides a comprehensive analysis of Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s contribution to legal thought and legislative by situating his scholarly development within his educational, expert, and legislative experiences. Iqbal’s formal legal education in Europe particularly his bar at law qualification from Lincoln’s Inn played a formative role in shaping his understanding of constitutionalism, legal modernity, and the dynamics of state authority. His twenty six years of legal practice in British India offered him a unique vantage point from which to critically assess the colonial judicial framework and its implications for Muslim socio-political identity. Iqbal’s service as a member of the Punjab Legislative Council reflects his direct engagement with institutional lawmaking. His participation in legislative debates and his advocacy for educational, social, and communal reforms demonstrate his commitment to ethical, inclusive, and progressive policymaking. Central to this study is an analysis of his sixth lecture, “The Principle of Movement in the Structure of Islam,” in which Iqbal presents a modernist and dynamic theory of Ijtihad. He argues for the reinterpretation of Islamic jurisprudence in light of contemporary realities and emphasizes the role of representative legislative bodies in ensuring a democratic and evolving legal order. By synthesizing Iqbal’s European legal training, extensive professional practice, legislative involvement, and modernist jurisprudential philosophy, this article highlights his enduring relevance to contemporary debates on legal reform, constitutional thought, and Islamic legal renewal in the modern world

Urdu Novel in the 21st Century: A Study of Social Awareness
Full text linkIn the early decades of the 21st century, the Urdu novel effectively highlighted the complex realities of Pakistani society. The scope for change within the society is progressively shrinking, resulting in a deep social conflict that is impacting the entire social system. The ruling classes are making concerted efforts to preserve this decaying system to safeguard their exploitative interests, viewing any new change as a threat to their political and economic gains. Against this backdrop, the Urdu novel has presented these grave issues with a sense of realism. In the 21st century, troubling changes have emerged within Pakistani society, notably the rise of consumerism, class disparities, and extremism. Urdu novelists have not only incorporated these issues into their narratives but have also analyzed them critically. Through various novels, the effects of social stratification, class differences, and the impact of democratic and military governments have been illuminated. Novelists like Hassan Manzar, Muhammad Asim Butt and Mirza Athar Baig have made global influences, terrorism, and social issues in Pakistan the central themes of their work, resulting in a significant transformation in the creative landscape of the Urdu novel. Although the search for new creative dimensions in this genre continues, the Urdu novel remains distinctive in its ability to present the complexities and internal contradictions of society in a profound manner
