In the Holy Qur'an, the word "Iman" comes with different salutations, which convey multiple meanings. The lexicographers have enclosed all these meanings of the word "Iman" in the meanings of confirmation, verbal confession, and expression of humility. There are books on the uses and meanings of the word "Iman" in the Qur'an, but there is diversity in the translations of the word "Iman" at different places among the Urdu translators of the Qur'an. It is necessary to know what is the style of the translators in the Urdu translations of the word "Iman", what are the reasons for the variation in the translation at the same place by different translators.

جدید الحادی افکارو نظریات اور ایک نئے سائنسی علم کلام کی ضرورت و اہمیت، مولانا وحیدالدین خان کی افکار کی روشنی میں ایک تحقیقی جائزہ

Maulana WahidUddin Khan, a prominent religious scholar in India, extensively addressed various aspects of religion, particularly Islam, in the context of modern science and philosophy. His works aimed to guide Muslims in facing contemporary challenges to Islam and religion. One such challenge was Atheism, which he tackled comprehensively using a scientific and logical approach. According to Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, the current manifestation of Atheism, known as Neo Atheism, exhibits a more scientific orientation compared to its historical counterparts. This rise of scientific Atheism has been observed not only globally but also within Muslim-majority countries, posing a significant challenge to religion unprecedented in history. To effectively counter and counteract the misleading concepts of Atheism, Maulana emphasized the establishment and development of a new scientific discipline called "Ilm-e-Kalam" (the science of discourse). This discipline would utilize modern scientific and philosophical advancements, as the contemporary world's way of life and standards of logic have evolved substantially. By employing rational and scientific arguments, the evidence for the existence of God and the reality of religion can be presented convincingly. However, achieving this goal requires the establishment of a modern scientific "Ilm-e-Kalam" based on contemporary logical and scientific principles.

This article seeks to highlight the pressing need and significance of a new scientific and Islamic "Ilm-e-Kalam" in light of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan's thoughts and contributions in countering Atheism with a modern scientific and logical approach, the global rise of Neo Atheism, the challenges faced by religion, and the proposed solution of establishing a new scientific "Ilm-e-Kalam" to counter Atheism effectively.

2023-09-05T10:36:49+00:00

Islam has become well established in some parts of Nigeria for about eight centuries before the advent of Christianity which came in the wake of colonialism in the 19^th century. Christianity was able to win converts in Nigeria, mostly in places where there were no Muslims. Different Christian denominations therefore, launched rigorous evangelistic onslaught against Islam in the quest to convert Muslims to Christianity. The issue of the reintroduction of Sharia has been one of the most controversial aspects of the Muslim-Christian relations in Nigeria. Christians resisted the implementation of the Sharia even in Muslim states. Writing about the Sharia is the major characteristic of Christian literature on Islam in Nigeria. This research samples the works of Joseph Kenny O.P., a Catholic missionary, who lived in Nigeria for almost 49 years working on Islam and Muslim societies. The research is descriptive and analytical of some Kenny’s works in the field of Islamic law.

The Islamic Concept of Nature from Biological Perspective

2023-09-10T15:54:16+00:00

According to the naturalists of the current era, the difference between Natural and Unnatural will remain disputed and its definitions will remain variable. There is a possibility that the things we are considering natural nowadays, may be considered unnatural when we find their negative impact on society or the environment and reciprocally, we may consider an unnatural thing as natural when its harmful aspects may be cured or become unavoidable links in an ecological system. Therefore, currently, we cannot fix a parameter to define nature. Therefore, several parameters are determined by different philosophies, disciplines and religions that may include good or evil, usefulness, average standard, quality at birth, human non-interference, the pre-existing standard of nature etc. Many parameters to determine nature exist at present and will continue to increase its number. The article will try to find the Islamic concept of nature, as Muslims constitute a large population of the world and the Islamic concept of naturalism can't be ignored while making global decisions. Being theoretical research, it is based on the Islamic concept of nature so, Islamic literature is used as background data for research and tried to find the real basis of the Islamic concept of biological nature.
