Artificial Intelligence and the Creativity of Urdu Literature: Causes and influencing Factors
Full text linkLiterature stands as a timeless testament to human creativity, weaving imagination, emotion, and intellect into narratives that shape and reflect societies. At the heart of literary expression lies the creative impulse—an intuitive force that transforms lived experiences into poetic thought, metaphors, and meaningful stories. In the contemporary era, this creative landscape is witnessing a profound transformation with the rise of artificial intelligence. AI is not only altering the way research is conducted but is also influencing the methods through which literature is produced, analyzed, and interpreted. Applications like ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, and Jasper are aiding tools in generating content, refining language, and exploring stylistic possibilities, thereby reshaping the role of the human author. These tools, while enhancing productivity and expanding access to language and knowledge, also pose critical questions regarding originality, authorship, and creative authenticity. On one hand, AI empowers researchers and writers with unprecedented speed and precision; on the other, it risks homogenizing thought and replacing nuanced human insight with algorithmic patterns. The delicate balance between embracing innovation and preserving the soul of literary creativity is now at the center of scholarly and artistic debates. As literature evolves in dialogue with technology, the essence of human expression continues to search for new ways to assert itself in a digitized world.This research paper aims to explore the causes and factors influencing the creativity of Urdu literature in the context of the growing impact of artificial intelligence. It will examine how AI is generating new possibilities in literary expression, style, and content creation
Environmental Elements in Urdu Afsana....A Review

سماجی ہم آہنگی کے صوفیانہ مسالک: برصغیر میں تصوف کا کردار: Mystical Pathways to Social Harmony: The Role of Sufism in the Indian Subcontinent
No full textIslamic Sufism has played a significant role in promoting social harmony across the Indian subcontinent. Through an emphasis on tolerance, love, spiritual equality, and service to humanity, Sufi teachings functioned as a unifying force within the region’s religiously and culturally diverse societies. Prominent Sufi figures such as Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, Baba Farid Ganj Shakar, Nizamuddin Auliya, Data Ganj Bakhsh, and Lal Shahbaz Qalandar contributed to the cultivation of social cohesion through their spiritual guidance, ethical conduct, and inclusive outreach. Sufi institutions, particularly khanqahs and shrines, emerged as vital spaces of communal interaction, providing spiritual solace while fostering intercommunal engagement beyond distinctions of caste, creed, or social status. By prioritizing divine love, humility, and selfless service, Sufism encouraged religious coexistence and nurtured a shared moral and cultural ethos. This study argues that Sufism not only facilitated peaceful interreligious relations in the subcontinent but also contributed to the formation of enduring social bonds grounded in common spiritual values, thereby reinforcing social harmony in a pluralistic context
عصرِ حاضر میں مستضعفین کے مسائل اور ان کا حل شریعت کی روشنی میں:ایک تحقیقی جائزہ: The Plight of the Mustad‘afīn in the Contemporary World and Their Relief in the Light of Shariah: A Research Review
No full textIn an age marked by unprecedented economic disparity, digital marginalization, climate-induced displacement, and systemic oppression, the Qur’anic category of al-mustad‘afin (the weakened, disenfranchised, and powerless) has assumed renewed urgency. This study re-examines the lived realities of contemporary mustad‘afin ranging from refugees and low-wage migrant workers to debt-trapped households, victims of algorithmic bias, and communities crushed by neo-colonial debt structures through the integrated lens of classical and modern Islamic juridical, ethical, and socio-economic sources.Drawing upon the Qur’anic imperatives of ‘adl and ihsan, the Prophetic model of socio-economic justice, and the rich fiqh tradition concerning the rights of the poor (haqq al-faqr), the rights of the stranger (haqq al-gharib), and the obligation of collective redress (farḍ kifayah al-ta‘awun), the research identifies structural parallels between historical and present-day forms of istid‘af. It critically evaluates existing Islamic financial tools (Zakat, waqf, qarḍ hasan, micro-takaful) and proposes adaptive, Shariah-compliant mechanisms including sovereign Zakat funds, digital waqf platforms, blockchain-based transparent aid distribution, and community-driven cooperative enterprises that can effectively empower the mustad‘afin without compromising their dignity or agency.Far from offering mere charity, the study presents an actionable framework rooted in the maqasid al-shari‘ah paradigm, wherein the protection and upliftment of the mustad‘afin is reframed as a non-negotiable religious and civilizational imperative. By bridging classical jurisprudence with twenty-first-century realities, the research contends that a revitalized Islamic socio-economic ethos remains uniquely capable of dismantling systemic weakness and restoring the mustad‘afin to their divinely ordained station of strength and honour
An analytical study of Iqbal\u27s Letters
No full textThis article offers a critical study of the private letters of Allama Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, focusing on their intellectual, ethical, emotional, and artistic aspects. These letters, addressed to family members, close friends, contemporaries, and female acquaintances, go far beyond ordinary personal communication. They reveal the depth of Iqbal’s philosophical reflections, his spiritual experiences, and his deep concern for the moral and political state of the Muslim world. The letters shed light on important themes such as selfhood (Khudi), character building, religious thought, and socio-political awareness. Through a careful selection and close reading of ten representative letters, supported by full references, the article analyzes Iqbal’s stylistic richness, rhetorical elegance, and didactic purpose. The study highlights how his private correspondence mirrors the same intellectual force and emotional intensity found in his poetry and prose. It argues that these letters are not only a significant part of Iqbal’s literary and philosophical legacy but also a vital contribution to Urdu prose. Moreover, they offer an intimate, humanized view of Iqbal, the thinker and reformer. The research concludes that Iqbal’s letters hold enduring value for scholars of Urdu literature, Muslim intellectual history, and those interested in the evolution of modern Islamic thought
اسلام اور خاموشی کا تصور: Silence & Mindfulness in Islam
No full textThe concept of silence in Islam transcends mere absence of speech, embodying wisdom, self-discipline, and spiritual elevation. Rooted in Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions, silence is portrayed as a means of worship, contemplation, and connection with the Divine. Examples such as Maryam’s vow of silence and Zakariya’s gesture-based communication highlight obedience to divine commands and spiritual focus. The Quran emphasizes reflection (tadabbur) and mindfulness, achievable through silence, as seen in verses urging believers to contemplate creation. Prophetic sayings, such as “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent,” underscore silence as a path to salvation and wisdom, guarding against harmful speech like gossip or falsehood. In Sufi traditions, silence is integral to practices like muraqaba (meditation) and dhikr-e-khafi (silent remembrance), fostering spiritual purification and divine proximity. Modern psychological research aligns with these teachings, confirming that silence and mindfulness reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and improve focus by balancing brain functions like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Islamic practices such as prayer and dhikr further promote mental tranquility. Thus, silence and meditation, deeply embedded in Islamic spirituality, offer profound psychological and spiritual benefits, resonating with contemporary scientific insights
Ali Sardar Jafri’s Poetry: A Colonial and Postcolonial Perspective
Full text linkThe Progressive Movement emerged during the colonial and postcolonial periods as a conscious literary and intellectual response to political domination, social injustice, and economic exploitation. One of its central objectives was to secure the legitimate rights and dignity of individuals in accordance with contemporary social realities. Under British imperial rule, the people of the subcontinent were subjected to severe exploitation that devastated their economic structures, natural resources, and social fabric. In reaction to this oppression, writers and intellectuals raised powerful voices through literature, giving rise to resistance writing that challenged imperial authority and articulated the suffering of the masses. Consequently, literature became an enduring force of social awareness and protest.However, the end of colonial rule in 1947 did not bring about the radical transformation that the common people had hoped for. Although political power shifted, systems of exploitation largely remained intact, with local elites and ruling classes replacing foreign rulers. Progressive writers, therefore, redirected their critical gaze toward these indigenous imperialists, exposing their hypocrisy, greed, and continued oppression of the marginalized. Their literary works highlighted class conflict, economic disparity, and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals. In this context, analyzing progressive poetry from a postcolonial perspective becomes essential, as it reveals how literature continued to resist domination, interrogate power structures, and advocate social justice in the post-independence era..
