Haneef Asadi as a Critic: حنیف اسعدی بحیثیت نقاد
No full textThis article presents a critical overview of the life, intellectual background, and poetic contribution of Haneef Ahmad Asadi, widely known in literary circles as Haneef Asadi. Born in 1919 in Shahjahanpur, India, and later settled in Karachi after the creation of Pakistan, Asadi was nurtured in a deeply religious and literary environment that shaped his personality and creative vision. Educated at Aligarh University, he balanced professional life with literary pursuits, remaining actively engaged in poetry alongside his service career. After performing Hajj, he devoted himself entirely to Hamd and Naat, reflecting a conscious spiritual transformation in his creative journey. His Naatia poetry is marked by profound love for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), sincerity of devotion, emotional depth, and refined artistic expression. His two celebrated Naat collections, Zikr-e-Khair-ul-Anam and Aap ﷺ, hold a significant place in Urdu Naat literature. The article also situates Asadi’s work within the broader framework of literary criticism, emphasizing how critical analysis seeks to understand the essence of creative literature by examining both artistic form and underlying principles. Through an analytical reading of Asadi’s poetry, the study highlights his lasting contribution to Urdu devotional poetry and his distinguished position among leading Naat poets of his time
The role of the accused in English and Islamic criminal justice
No full textThis thesis is a comparative study of the role of the accused in the systems of
English and Islamic criminal justice. It seeks to explore the underlying
relationship between the individual and the state through an historical, structural
and contextual analysis of their rules relating to questioning and of confessions.
The analysis of the English system covers the period 1800 to 1984, with
particular reference to developments during the nineteenth century when the
foundations for the modern English state were established. The analysis of the
Islamic system combines traditionally Islamic and modern methods, assessing the
"Islamisation" movement in Malaysia through a religico-structural understanding
of juristic opinion from the four main schools of Sunnite jurisprudence.
The thesis contributes to existing knowledge on a number of levels: first, it
questions and revises the "myth" of "progress" that has dominated observations
of the history of the English criminal justice system; second, it elucidates the
relationship between Islamic law in theory and the law that is applied and
proposed in its name in Muslim states; third, it provides an analytical framework
for drawing comparisons between the underlying values of the systems of English
and Islamic criminal justice.
While acknowledging fundamental differences in terms of outlook and
articulation, the author concludes there are important similarities expressed
through such notions as "suspect" in the English system and "kafir"I"fasiq" in the
Islamic. These act as intermediate constitutional categories to whom the state
owe less protection. But the author notes also that these similarities are not
observed necessarily in the "law" which is implemented or proposed in Muslim
states; exact correspondence depends upon the over-arching political structure
and the institution of Caliphate.
The thesis is divided into six chapters: chapter one sets out the conventional view
of the historical development of English criminal procedure and evidence;
chapter two subjects that to a critique and chapter three offers a revised thesis.
Chapter four, explores methods for interpreting and explaining Islam; chapter
five sets out rules relating to confessions and questioning according to the four
Sunni schools; chapter six puts them into "context" through an examination of
the "Islamisation" process in Malaysia
