Mishkat al-Masabih is a book of Hadith included in the curriculum of religious seminaries in the Indian subcontinent. In this region, three commentaries in Arabic have been written on this book. Among them is a renowned commentary by the distinguished scholar of the Ahl-e-Hadith school of thought, Maulana Obaidullah Rahmani, which is famously known as "Miratual -Mafātīḥ” This commentary holds a prominent position in explaining the text of the Hadith. It includes the introduction of narrators, resolution of conflicting hadith, and discussions on jurisprudential schools of thought. The most remarkable feature of this commentary is that the author does not represent any specific school of jurisprudence. Instead, He gives preference to opinions based on evidence. The author has adopted the methodology of the Muhaddithin (Hadith scholars) in matters of beliefs and ambiguous texts, specifically the approach of Tafweedh (consigning the meaning to Allah). One of the notable qualities of this commentary is that the Hadiths have been numbered, making it easier to benefit from the book and reference specific narrations efficiently. The commentary spans nine volumes and covers up to the end of Kitab al-Manasik (the Book of Pilgrimage).

Surah Bani Isra’il (Surah Al-Isra) presents a profound discourse on the themes of divine justice, resurrection, and life after death, emphasizing the concept of Tadhkeer bil-Mawt wa Ma Ba’d al-Mawt (remembrance of death and the afterlife). This study explores how the Surah addresses these themes in light of the historical narrative of Bani Isra’il, drawing lessons relevant to contemporary Muslim societies. Through an exegetical analysis of key Quranic verses and supporting Hadith literature, this paper highlights the Surah’s warnings against moral corruption, materialism, and negligence of spiritual responsibilities. It further examines the consequences of disobedience to divine commandments, illustrating how the repeated rise and fall of Bani Isra’il serve as a cautionary tale for present-day believers. Additionally, the study delves into the psychological and ethical implications of remembering death, emphasizing how it fosters humility, accountability, and adherence to Islamic values. The research employs a qualitative methodology, incorporating classical and modern Tafsir (Quranic exegesis) to contextualize the Surah’s message within contemporary socio-religious challenges. Findings suggest that an increased awareness of death and the afterlife encourages individuals to prioritize righteousness, leading to personal and societal transformation. This study contributes to Islamic scholarship by reaffirming the Quranic emphasis on eschatological consciousness as a means to cultivate moral integrity and spiritual resilience.

عوامل انتشار الإلحاد المعاصر في المجتمع: دراسة تحليلية

2025-02-12T10:31:58+00:00

This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the spread of contemporary atheism in Islamic societies, focusing on military, intellectual, political, cultural, psychological, and social dimensions. Findings indicate that military factors, such as the Crusades and Western colonialism, destabilized social and economic structures, weakening Islamic identity. Intellectual invasion, manifested through proselytization, Orientalism, and secularism, distorted Islam and sowed doubts about its tenets. Political systems supporting secularism, Freemasonry, and communism further separated religion from public life, paving the way for atheistic ideas. Culturally, globalization and modern communication technologies eroded Islamic values by promoting Western concepts conflicting with religious principles. Psychological and social factors include the absence of a coherent Islamic framework, fascination with Western materialistic civilization, excessive personal freedom, diminished spiritual awareness, and the impact of mental health issues such as depression and personality disorders. The study recommends strengthening religious awareness through educational and media institutions, improving socio-economic conditions, countering globalization with a robust Islamic cultural identity, and emphasizing social justice and rational dialogue to bolster intellectual resilience among youth.

The Impact of Televangelists on Contemporary Pakistani Society: A Critical Analysis of Their Preaching and Religious Influence

2025-01-28T14:39:15+00:00

The rise of televangelists in Pakistan has created a discussion over their influence on the religious landscape of the nation. Despite their helpful role in disseminating religious information and ideals, others contend that their preaching may foster intolerance and marginalize particular groups. This article uses a qualitative research approach to tackle the problem, reviewing relevant academic and popular literature as well as conducting survey with audiences of televangelists who could be interested in the topic. The findings of this study demonstrate that while televangelists have significantly influenced Pakistan's religious landscape, such effects have not always been favorable. Numerous televangelists spread a distorted version of Islam that is at odds with the rich religious and cultural traditions of the nation and may encourage the radicalization of particular groups, especially those who feel excluded from the dominant religious discourse. Given that Pakistan emphasizes the variety and depth of its religious traditions, these findings have practical ramifications for fostering inclusive and tolerant religious discourse in that nation. The study's conclusions have important ramifications since they emphasis the need for Pakistan to consider televangelism with greater scepticism. While televangelists can be helpful in spreading religious knowledge and ideals, it is crucial to carefully monitor their messages to make sure they don't incite bigotry or destroy the nation's multireligious heritage. In order to preserve Pakistan's multireligious legacy, this article suggests a more accepting and tolerant approach to religious discourse that encourages communication and understanding among various religious communities.

The world as of today has been facing sensitive socio political issues due to fanatic jealousy and blind following of religious faith and beliefs which established a continuing threat to peace and tranquility in different parts of the world. Scholars like Syed Hossein Nasr, John Hick, Hans kung, and Sir Syed Ahmed Khan have shared their thoughts on the subject as much as organizations like United Nation Alliance of civilization (UNAOC), Religions for Peace (RFP), Parliament of the World’s Religions, The Interfaith Alliance etc. have been working to promote inter faith relations. The role of interfaith harmony in establishing a peaceful society ensuring human equality and protecting human dignity cannot be overlooked. Islam is a religion of peace which led foundation of this concept in seventh century. Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him migrated to Medina in seventh century and declared a charter of Medina in 622 AD with the neighboring societies and gave a new dimension to the religious beliefs introducing patience and acceptability for different faiths living in comity. Allah Almighty guided his righteous Prophet to call upon Jews and Christian tribes to enter into a peace treaty on the basis of common beliefs without pressing each other to object the differences in faith.

Exploring Quranic Astronomy and Contemporary Science

2025-03-27T01:38:32+00:00

Important rites have always been closely linked to the motion of heavenly bodies in Islamic history. The position of the sun in the sky has been matched with the times of daily prayers. Many a believer has had to use the stars or, more lately, a satellite connection to determine Mecca's direction. The apparent size of the moon has traditionally determined the start of each month, including Ramadan. Thus, astronomy has always played a significant role in Islamic culture. Even in the world we live now, Muslims can learn a lot about their faith by connecting it with scientific research and examining them considering Holy Quran and Sunnah. The Holy Quran encourages believers to think and explore the creation of the universe positively. The miraculous book of Holy Quran discusses celestial bodies and how they came together to begin with the creation of the universe. The Holy Quran beautifully drew the sketch for the infamous Big Bang Theory almost fourteen and a half centuries ago when scientists had no clue about the origin of universe. The Holy Quran also debates about other things like how the Earth tilts, planets spread out, the Sirius star, falling rocks from space (called meteorites), and planets outside our solar system (exoplanets). Even the way the moon moves has a special mention, and when we look at it now, it fits with what science says. These verses in the Holy Quran show how well they fit with what we know from modern science. These Quranic evidence of Astronomy tell believers to not just think about why the universe is here but also to explore it, look out for the signs of Almighty in His creation and draw a connection with divinity in light of it. The Holy Quran becomes like a guide, inviting believers to learn more about the world and showing that science and faith can go together. It's like a connection between old teachings and the new things we find out about the universe today. This link between religion and science not only makes Islamic knowledge richer in contemporary era but also shows how beliefs and logics can go hand in hand to understand the world.
