ENGLISH-DELAYED MARRIAGE IN PAKISTAN AND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY: A CRITICAL STUDY IN THE LIGHT OF SEERAH OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)
No full textPakistani is a developing country which holds strong cultural effects on society. In this contemporary era, marriage institution is facing critical crisis all over the world but in Pakistan because of several internal reasons marital complications are seriously debatable at national level. One of the biggest conjugal problems is Late Marriage in Pakistan. Though, Islamic Law didn’t set the exact age of marriage however, in Islamic Law, nobody can marriage unless he/she reached his/her puberty age. While discussing late marriage there must be differentiate between child marriage and early marriage because people are being made misunderstood and confused about the both terms. Definitely, Islam doesn’t allow child marriage at all but early marriage is not unlawful in Islam and early marriage doesn’t mean child marriage or the marriage before adolescence age. Even some Islamic jurists argue that it shouldn’t be done immediately after puberty age starts. One should wait till maturity age. But the case we are going to discuss is about delayed marriage which starts after the age of 25 to 40 and above 40 which obviously didn’t have to do anything with child marriage or the marriage at immature age. Majority population of Pakistan is living under the poverty line. These poor people work hard to settle themself down and they postponed their weddings till then. Sometimes this process of settling down take too long to marry and ultimately marriageable age passed away. That's why Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us moderation way of life in every step we walk. Delayed marriage causes a lot of social, psychological and health consequences. If the marriage was done at proper age then one can remain safe from committing sins and other wrongdoings. If we see the examples of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s life we will find out that He (PBUH) didn't delay or order to delay any marriage because of money or other social standards.In this article there would be discussed the social and economic obstacles and so-called cultural customs and rituals to marry at ideal age. It would also discuss an ideal Islamic wedding model in the light of teaching of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
The Holy Qur’ān is the Word of Almighty Allah: Critical Analysis of Orientalist John Burton’s Views
No full textThe Orientalists, who are basically Jews and Christians, deny the fact that the Holy Qur’ān is the Word of Almighty Allāh which He has revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. They create doubts about the Qur’ān. They claim that the Qur’ān was fabricated by the Prophet himself with the assistance of previous scriptures. The sources of Orientalists’ research regarding the Qur’ān are d’aīf and self-generated narrations, studying the Qur’ān with the intention of perversion and crookedness and indirect Study of the Qur’ān and the Islāmic literature. John Burton is also an Orientalist. He has written a book regarding the Holy Qur’ān named “The Collection of the Qur’ān”. He has strange theories about the Qur’ān. In this article it has been proved that the Qur’ān is the Word of Almighty Allāh, and the misconceptions of John Burton regarding the Holy Qur’ān have been clarified with internal arguments like evidences in the Qur’ān that it is the Word of Almighty Allāh, the truthfulness of the Qur’ān on the base of prophecies as the prophecy about Roman conquest, prediction of the Qur’ān about the conquest of Makah, Prediction of the Qur’ān that the Jews will never wish for death, prophecy of Almighty Allāh about the protection of the Holy Qur’ān; and external arguments that the Qur’ān is the Word of Almighty Allāh like rational arguments that the Qur’ān is the Word of Allāh and the sayings of the Orientalists who themselves deny their opinion, have also been quoted
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Risk Management : framework for SMEs, including startups
No full textArtificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly adopted in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) due to innovation, operational efficiency, effectiveness and market competence. This rapid adoption of AI also opened the doors for hackers to take advantage of AI that introduced important cybersecurity and regulatory issues for SMEs. To tackle these cyber security issues related to AI, a need was identified for a lightweight AI security risk man-agement framework that would allow SMEs including startups to manage AI security risks effectively within the limited technical and financial resources.
Although, there were many frameworks exist for AI security risk management but were not tailored only spe-cifically for SMEs. Main idea was to identify the gaps in existing risk management frameworks, standards and guidelines to make fit for small and medium-sized companies within the limited resources. The research fo-cused on the literature view approach followed by framework synthesis and comparative analysis with exist-ing frameworks standards and guidelines including NIST AI RMF (2023), ISO/IEC 42001 (2023), and ENISA AI Security Framework (2023). These frameworks were analyzed and identified best practices on the basis of SMEs needs and designed a new AI security risk management framework based on four functions: Govern, identify, assess and strengthen that address risk governance, identification, assessment and continuous im-provement.
Based on comparative analysis the results illustrated that new AI Security risk management framework (AIS-RMF) fulfill the needs of SMEs based on resource efficiency, scalability, simplicity and regulatory alignment within that limited technical capacity. It was concluded that the new AI risk management framework provides scalable foundation for SMEs and startups to manage AI risks without excessive financial and administrative burden. AIS-RMF improves trust and transparency in AI adoption and sporting the organizational maturity in alignment with industries standards
Moral Reforms in a Community: Modus Operandi in the Light of Sīrah
No full textIt’s always the people who define the status of a society. If the people of a society are civilized, the society will be called an ideal society. Moral reforms and behavioural therapy of individuals of the society are basic factors to establish an ideal society. Such an ideal society was established by Prophet Muḥammad (P.B.U.H) in Madina where he laid the foundations of brotherhood and equality among citizens of that state. He showed tolerance towards people belonging to different religions by protecting all their human rights and by providing indiscriminate and quick justice. He not only made the social institutions strong but also developed a history of human civilization. We simply need to work on our moral values and behaviours. We should study the daily life of Muḥammad (P.B.U.H) and mould our lives according to that. Dire need of the modern world is the rectification of human behavior in the light of the ideal life of Muḥammad (P.B.U.H). It will give an opportunity to breathe the same spirit into the contemporary social attitudes so that our society may become peaceful
سرسید احمد خاں کی تصنیف ’’تفسیر القرآن‘‘ کا سابقہ صحفِ سماویہ سے اخذواستدلال میں منہج و اسلوب
No full textSir Syed Ahmed Khan is one of the great personalities in the British era of the Indian subcontinent. Whose services to the Muslims of India in religious, social, political and educational fields can never be denied? Sir Syed gave a satisfactory answer to the slanderous attacks of the missionaries and priests and it was said by the youth of the subcontinent that if Syed's writings had not passed through our eyes, we would have deviated from Islam. These were the effects of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's writings and speeches which forced him to write a commentary to answer the objections of the missionaries and priests and on the other hand the faith in Islamic beliefs and fundamentals of Islam of modern educated class and the general Muslim public can be restored. In this regard, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan called the Previous Heavenly Books as a source of Tafsīr ul Qur’ān and tried to defend the objections against the Qur’ān, Islam and Muslims by deriving and reasoning from the Previous Heavenly Books and gave satisfactory answers. On the one hand, he answered twenty objections such as Qur’ānic articles and distortion of the Qur’ān; on the other hand, he demolished the basics of the Previous Heavenly Books while strengthening the fundamentals of Islam. If we look at Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's interpretation of the Qur’ān through the means of derivation and reasoning from the Previous Heavenly Books, it is found that he tried very hard to reduce the conflicting views of Christians and Muslims and tried to give a chance to bring them closer and understand each other. He made sure that the doubts of Muslims should be removed the correct dimension of Islam should be clarified for the Christian evangelists, leaders and pastors

Axial Compressive Behaviour of Engineered Cementitious Composites-Concrete Encased Steel Columns
No full textRecently, the research on developing an efficient concrete encased steel (CES) composite column using high strength concrete (HSC) and high strength steel (HSS) for applications in tall buildings, bridges and infrastructure construction has received much attention as it can lead to economic, social and environmental benefits. However, the practical applications of CES composite columns are often limited due the shortcomings of HSC in terms of explosive brittle spalling and premature crushing before the yielding of HSS. In order to overcome such issues, a new form of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) confined concrete encased steel (ECC-CES) composite columns is introduced in this study.
The main aim of this research was to investigate the axial compressive behaviour of proposed ECC-CES composite column both experimentally and numerically, and to develop an analytical model to predict the load-deformation response and ultimate capacity of ECC-CES composite columns. For that purpose, a comprehensive experimental program was conducted on ECC-CES composite columns. The test variables included material strengths, column shape, column configuration (full and partial concrete encasement) and ECC cover thickness. The effect of these parameters on the performance of columns was investigated in terms of failure behaviour, load-deformation response, ultimate strength, ductility and energy absorption capacity.
In addition, a detailed three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed in ABAQUS to simulate the compressive behaviour of ECC-CES columns. Both material and geometric nonlinearities as well as the effects of initial geometric imperfections, contact interactions and confinement by steel and ECC encasement on concrete core were considered. The developed FE model was validated against the experimental results of ECC-CES short column and gave good predictions of compressive behaviour of ECC-CES columns in terms of failure modes, initial stiffness, column peak-load and deformation and post-peak response. Finally, an analytical model to predict the compressive load-deformation behaviour and the ultimate capacity of ECC-CES short composite columns was developed based on the results of experimental and numerical parametric study
Développement de pansements innovants durables pour des propriétés de cicatrisation améliorées
No full textWound healing remains a biomedical challenge requiring the development of advanced dressings with optimized mechanical, antibacterial, and biocompatible properties. Electrospun nanofibers, due to their high surface area and ability to incorporate bioactive agents, are promising candidates. This study aims to develop and optimize electrospun PCL-GE nanofibers incorporating allicin as a natural antimicrobial agent. A multi-phase approach combining factorial and Taguchi experimental designs was used to optimize process parameters, resulting in homogeneous and mechanically stable nanofibers.Advanced analyses (SEM, FTIR, TGA, DSC) confirmed their uniform morphology, chemical composition, and improved thermal stability. Mechanical tests revealed variations in elastic recovery, delayed recovery, and residual plastic deformation, highlighting the influence of fiber composition. Different release kinetics were achieved depending on the composition, suggesting potential for various types of acute wounds. Additionally, a bacteriostatic effect was observed, although no clear inhibition zone was detected. This study demonstrates the potential of PCL-GE-allicin nanofibers as innovative and durable wound dressings, combining mechanical strength, bioactivity, and controlled drug release. Future research will focus on in vivo validation, optimizing prolonged release, and industrialization via needle-free electrospinning for clinical applications.La cicatrisation des plaies représente un défi biomédical nécessitant le développement de pansements avancés aux propriétés optimisées, notamment mécaniques, antibactériennes et biocompatibles. Grâce à leur grande surface et leur capacité d’incorporation d’agents bioactifs, les nanofibres électrofilées sont des candidates prometteuses. Cette étude vise à développer et optimiser des nanofibres électrofilées PCL-GE avec incorporation d’allicine comme agent antimicrobien naturel. Une approche multi-phase combinant des plans d’expériences factoriel et de Taguchi a permis d’optimiser les paramètres du processus, aboutissant à des nanofibres homogènes et mécaniquement stables.Des analyses avancées (MEB, FTIR, TGA, DSC) ont confirmé leur morphologie uniforme, leur composition chimique et leur stabilité thermique améliorée. Les tests mécaniques révèlent des variations de récupération élastique, récupération retardée et déformation plastique résiduelle, soulignant l’influence de la composition des fibres. Différents profils de libération ont été obtenus selon la composition, suggérant un potentiel pour divers types de plaies aiguës. De plus, un impact bactériostatique a été observé, bien qu’aucune zone d’inhibition nette ne soit détectée. Cette étude démontre le potentiel des nanofibres PCL-GE-allicine comme pansements innovants et durables, conciliant résistance mécanique, bioactivité et libération contrôlée de médicaments. Les recherches futures viseront la validation in vivo, l’optimisation de la libération prolongée et l’industrialisation via l’électrofilage sans aiguille pour des applications cliniques
A data-driven API recommendation approach for service mashup composition
No full textThe increasing availability of Web APIs has brought about a revolution in software development. Developers can now create innovative web applications by combining existing services. However, with so many APIs available, it can be challenging to identify the most suitable ones for a particular task. Many existing recommendation systems rely on keyword matching and historical data, which can limit their effectiveness when dealing with complex functional requirements and new mashup creation scenarios. This paper presents a new method for recommending web APIs to developers for mashup composition. Our goal is to improve the accuracy of recommendations, particularly when developers lack domain knowledge or encounter ambiguous functional descriptions. To achieve this, we propose a solution driven by natural text descriptions, which utilizes advanced techniques such as semantic enrichment and deep learning. The approach to recommendation methods combines content-based and quality-of-service (QoS) techniques with the advanced capabilities of BERT (Bidirectional et al. from Transformers) and Graph Generative Adversarial Networks (Graph GAN). BERT's contextual understanding of text allows us to capture more comprehensive functional descriptions, overcoming the limitations of traditional keyword matching. Meanwhile, Graph GAN helps us learn from existing mashup-service invocation records, leading to more accurate and relevant service recommendations. Our framework consists of a robust data and semantic enrichment component that employs paraphrase mining to extend the vocabulary and enhance semantic similarity measures. As a result, our recommendation system can handle various natural language queries and identify subtle contextual nuances in service descriptions
