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).</p>2025-02-14T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3687تغییر فی خلق اللہ کا تعارف اور اس کے اسباب و محرکات کا تحقیقی جائزہ 2025-03-13T07:26:44+00:00Dr. Hafiza Barrera Hameedbareeratahir.ssani@gmail.comAbida Rehmanaabidarehmanbhatti@gmail.com<p>Human society is always dynamic and changing and will be changing day by days, in which new changes are taking place, progress has been made and is still being made through science and modern technology. Due to this Progress and development, changes are taking place in the Muslim and non-Muslim society keeping in mind the aspect of convenience and these changes are not only related to other creatures of the planet but also to the noble creation of Allah, Man Women Animal Nature, some of which changes are for human benefit and some of which changes are for human not benefit and others Universe. There are the Some causes and Reasons for changing and corruption. And according to the Islamic Shari'ah are not permissible, for example, There are many reasons for this, such as despair, Western free society, material reasons, mixed system, the latest scientific inventions, physical defects and defects, irresponsible behavior, sexual freedom, anti-Islamic elements, media and mass media, women's adornment, satanic. Whispering, nudity and indecency etc. are some of the reasons for change in Allah's creation. Here, in this article, we will examine the reasons behind the introduction of change in the creation of Allah in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah. All this is equivalent to a change in the creation of Allah, castration of animals or changing the nature, etc. Now a days, all these are becoming part of the normal routine. In operations, changes are made in the human body using modern technology. Under the supervision of the subject, the introduction of change in the creation of Allah and its causes and motivations will be reviewed fairly.</p>2025-03-23T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3719سورت بنی اسرائیل کی روشنی میں تذکیر بالموت و مابعدالموت کاعصری اطلاق2025-03-23T12:52:36+00:00Dr. Yasmin Naziryasmin.nazir@gscwu.edu.pkMisbah Sajjadmisbahsajjad125@gmail.com<p>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.</p>2025-03-23T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3729عصرِ حاضر میں پیشہ ورانہ اخلاقیات کا سیرت النبیﷺ کی روشنی میں جائزہ2025-04-01T13:08:01+00:00Ayesha Siddiqaayesha.siddiqa@yahoo.comDr. Ikram Ul Haqikram.haq@riphah.edu.pk<p>Islam is a code of life that provides a complete guidance in every aspect of human life. A human being needs different ways of livelihood for his survival in society. So he adopts different kinds of professions. There are some ethics and moral values in every profession. But in current times one can easily observe the lacking of professional and ethical values in every field. How people in same profession should behave with each other? What kind of professional ethics should be observed and demonstrated at work place? In current paper we will find answers of these questions through qualitative research method. This paper also deals with work place ethics in the light of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life and teachings. Because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Himself used to take professional approach in His affairs. In the light of the Prophet's teachings, professional ethics include principles such as truthfulness, honesty, hard work, justice, respect, and service to others. One should seek guidance from Prophet’s (PBUH) life in order to perform his duties and make himself better at his work place. Islamic teachings on workplace ethics offer practical guidance for today's professionals. These simple but powerful teachings from the Prophet’s (PBUH) life remain useful guides for workplace behavior today. When coworkers follow these basic principles of kindness, honesty, and fairness, they not only do better in their careers but also help create a better society.</p>2025-04-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3608عوامل انتشار الإلحاد المعاصر في المجتمع: دراسة تحليلية2025-02-12T10:31:58+00:00Muhammad Naeemmuloomi@iub.edu.pkDr. Meer Akber Shahmuloomi@iub.edu.pk<p>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.</p>2025-02-12T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3634الإبتكارات الأدبية في كتابة السيرة الذاتية: الأساليب، والخصائص أنموذجا2025-02-21T17:36:58+00:00Dr. Manzoor Ahmaddrmanzoor67@yahoo.com<p>The research aims to discuss the literary innovations in writing a biography its methods and characteristics. Autobiography is a form of literature. The art of autobiographical writing is an ancient type of literature and has undergone changes over time because the Arabs knew this art in the pre-Islamic era as well. This means that this art is not new to Arabic literature but rather a well-known type of Arabic literature. The research examines the art of writing autobiography in Arab history and traces its origins to the ancient Arab customs and traditions. There are several examples of autobiographies in classical Arabic literature that shed light on the art of writing autobiography in Arabic literature.</p>2025-02-21T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3677العنصريّة في ميزان الإسلام والفكر الغربي المعاصر2025-03-09T16:46:10+00:00الدكتور طاهر صديقmuhammadimranpak3@iub.edu.pkعبد الرشيد سيد أحمد الأفغانيmuhammadimranpak3@iub.edu.pk<p>This article will address the most prominent aspects of racism in Western thought. We have chosen four areas as examples, not an exhaustive list, which are as follows:<br>1- Racial discrimination in employment: Statistics conducted by Western institutions reveal that unemployment rates among Muslims and Black individuals in some Western countries are notably high, painting a grim picture of their situation.<br>2- Racism in education: Non-governmental statistics indicate that Black children and Muslim children face disproportionately higher rates of school expulsions in Western societies.<br>3- Racial discrimination in housing: Muslims and Black individuals often encounter obstacles and difficulties in obtaining decent housing.<br>4- Racial discrimination in healthcare: Statistics reveal that maternal mortality rates among Black women are significantly higher than those of other groups.</p>2025-03-09T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3564The Impact of Televangelists on Contemporary Pakistani Society: A Critical Analysis of Their Preaching and Religious Influence2025-01-28T14:39:15+00:00Dr. Muhammad Hammadmuhammad.hammad@riphah.edu.pkLaraib Zahidlabiiikhan058@gmail.comDr. Abdul Baqiabdulbaqi100@gmail.com<p>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.</p>2025-01-28T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3720Contemporary Application of the Charter of Madinah in Inter-faith Relations (Analytical study)2025-03-24T06:21:47+00:00Dr. Choudhry Wasim Iqbalchwasim@gmail.comDr. Muhammad Sohail Shafiqmsshafiq@uok.edu.pk<p>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. This interaction paved the way for exchange of socio political and economic thoughts in the region, adaptation for art and culture as much as promoted a civilization in that region. <a href="#_edn2" name="_ednref2"></a></p>2025-03-24T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmiahttps://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3725Exploring Quranic Astronomy and Contemporary Science2025-03-27T01:38:32+00:00Dr. Humaira KhalilHOD.IAS@tuf.edu.pkDr. Muhammad Yaseenyaseensps@gmail.com<p>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.</p>2025-04-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia
