However, their use raises several critical questions, including concerns about patient privacy, the responsibility for human errors in diagnosis and treatment, and the impact of technology. This introduction addresses these issues for reflection and considers the progress of robotics in health management from a moral and human perspective.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;Robotic surgery offers many advantages, one of which is the ability to perform productive analytics in health management, allowing for the prediction of a patient's future health. This capability aids in the timely detection and treatment of diseases. However, this topic also presents some fundamental problems. The increased use of technology can reduce the human connection between doctors and patients, which is essential for empathy and moral care. Furthermore, robotics technology may not be accessible to all, potentially leading to inequalities in health management due to the high cost of robotic surgery instruments and technology. Additionally, the use of robotics and AI may affect employment, which is a significant social issue.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;In light of these points, it is necessary to promote the role of AI and robotics in health management with moral responsibility. This is an advanced and important topic that not only concerns the ongoing advancements in the physical world but also the moral problems these advancements present. Addressing these issues is crucial.</em></p> Dr. Saddaqat Hussain, Dr. Amjad Hayat Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3302 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 تفسير ماجدی،تبيان القرآن اور تفسير القرآن الكريم ميں منتخب آيات الاحكام كا ايک تحقيقى وتقابلى جائزہ https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3437 <p>The Holy Quran is the last inspired and revolutionary book of Allah Almighty, which was revealed to bring about a change in the lives of human beings. Without this book, creatures cannot recognize their true Creator in the true sense. The Holy Quran is a source of guidance for all human beings, which encompasses all matters related to humans from birth to death, and the possibility of distortion in it has been eliminated until the Day of Judgment. It is a treasure trove of knowledge from which scholars deduce according to their capabilities, because Allah Almighty has revealed two types of verses in the Holy Quran. One type contains commands, while the other type of verses includes monotheism, prophethood, preaching and advice, warnings and warnings, stories, proverbs, the horror of the Day of Judgment, mentions of Paradise and Hell, etc. The number of verses related to rulings in it is approximately five hundred, the details of which have been explained by jurists and commentators. Numerous translations and interpretations of the Holy Quran have been written in different languages, which is no less than a great blessing for the Muslim Ummah. Allah Almighty has kept so much flexibility in the rulings of the Quran and Sunnah that they can guide the Muslim Ummah in the issues that will arise until the Day of Judgment. This is the reason why the door of ijtihad has been kept open until the Day of Judgment to solve the issues that arise in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. In the present era, the Muslim Ummah is facing innumerable new issues. Scholars are prone to exaggeration and deviation regarding ijtihad directly from the Quran and Sunnah to solve the new issues that arise from them. Therefore, these three commentators have mentioned such jurisprudential issues in their respective interpretations that are necessary for humans in the present era. In this article, a research and comparative analysis of five verses selected in three interpretations in terms of the rulings of the Quran has been presented.</p> Zakir ullah, Dr. Najmul Hassan, Dr. Aliya Javed Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3437 Sun, 22 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 نقض امن کے سماجی، معاشی اور قانونی محرکات و اثرات اور تعلیماتِ نبوی کی روشنی میں تدارک https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3428 <p>The intensification of negative trends in human thought gives rise to elements such as narrow-mindedness, extremism, violence, and rebellion, which disrupt societal peace. This attitude of intolerance, narrow-mindedness, and extremism ultimately leads to the taking of each other's lives. This is what is called a breach of peace, or in other words, terrorism.Terrorism is the armed form of extremism, aiming to achieve its specific goals by creating fear and terror among the general public. The causes of terrorism include social injustice, societal evils, unfair distribution of wealth, poverty, lack of education and healthcare facilities, food shortages, unemployment, deprivation of other basic necessities of life, lack of national leadership, and linguistic, sectarian, and religious conflicts and riots.</p> <p>Islam is a religion of peace, and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the Prophet of Mercy. His exemplary character, his pronouncements, his treaties with various nations and tribes, and his sermons—in short, all these documents are the most comprehensive, universal, and enduring charters of peace and human rights. They transcend the temporal, political, and contemporary levels, providing humanity with a permanent and enduring foundation for peace, human rights, and the protection and respect of the law.Even today, if we are dreaming of combating terrorism on a global scale and establishing peaceful, welfare societies, we must seek guidance from the character of the Prophet of Peace ﷺ.</p> Dr. Ajmal Ali Mujaddidi, Dr. Faiz Ullah Baghdadi Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3428 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 قرآن مجید کے ارشادی و تربیتی مقاصد: سورۂ یوسف کا تحلیلی جائزہ https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3446 <p>The Holy Qur'an serves as a comprehensive guide for humanity, offering both spiritual and practical instructions for a virtuous life.

The distinction between caliph and caliphate is generally the same as what has historically been assumed throughout the world to be between the crown and the crown prince, but this is only partially true. There is not much difference between Khalifa and Khilafat. His position is that of the successor of Allah and then of His Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him). One who uses all powers as a trust while remaining within the limits of the Shari’ah. He can explain the law but he cannot lay the foundation of any law. This position is the only example of its kind in the entire human history of the past. His method of governance is superior in all respects to the system offered by any other civilization. In the opinion of modern Islamic economic thinkers of the subcontinent, it is not only necessary but also mandatory to compare it with other systems of governance and economy of the present time so that the golden system of justice of Islam can be better understood. Nowadays, Islamic states are moving rapidly from Islamic republics to Western institutional democracies. Because these sources of power i.e. the people are now forgetting Islam as a religion and considering it as a mere religion. Therefore, the revival of Islam as a complete system of life, i.e. religion, has become very necessary. This can only happen when all the nuances of the West as well as the East are fully understood.</p> Qurrat-ul-Ain Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3474 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 مسلم نوجوان اور حالاتِ حاضرہ: ذمہ داریا ں اور مسائل https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3488 <p>This article highlights the crical role of youth, defined by the World Health Organizatio as individuals aged 15-24, in societal, economic and cultural progress. Youth make up nearly 50 % of the global population, symbolizing immence potential and responsibility. Historical revolutios, such as the Russian revolution and Arab Supring, were fueled by youth. In Islam the Qura’n and Sunah emphasize the vitality of this age group, citing examples like the companions of the Cave and young sporters of Prophet Moses. Islamic history showcases the leadership of youg figures like Ali, Khalid bi Walid, ad others who exemplified courage, sacrifice and innovation. This phase of life, rich in energy and ambition, is deemed an opportunity for societal reform and personal grouth, provided youth are goided towards constructive purposes.</p> Uzma Yaseen, Dr. Muhammad Amin Manzoor, Rubina Kausar Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3488 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 وبائی امراض میں شرعی توسع کے حدود اوردائرہ کار: اسلامی تعلیمات کے تناظرمیں https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3525 <p>Islam is the last and final religion for the humanity from Allah, that’s why all the rules of islam is according to the strength of humans.

The Thaqif tribe, known for its warrior culture, resided in Taif, a prosperous city located near Mecca. Taif was a key economic and strategic center due to its fertile lands and its control over important trade routes. Politically, the Thaqif tribe was strong and maintained independence in pre-Islamic times. During the rise of Islam, the tribe resisted the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) message and took part in conflicts against the Muslims, including the Battle of Hunayn. Despite initial resistance, Taif was eventually besieged by Muslim forces, though it remained defiant until 9 AH (630 CE) when the Thaqif tribe finally embraced Islam. After accepting Islam, the Thaqif tribe became integrated into the Islamic state and played a role in the expanding Islamic empire. The city of Taif continued to grow in importance during the Caliphate era, both as a trading hub and as a strategic military post. The political history of the Thaqif tribe and Taif reflects the broader transitions in Arabia during the emergence of Islam, from independent tribal politics to integration within a unified Islamic polity<strong>.</strong></p> Sahib Din, Prof. Dr. Humayun Abbas Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3507 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 فقہ میں انفرادی حقوق و اجتماعی ذمہ داریوں کا تصور ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3495 <p>This research looks at how, within the context of law, individual rights and group obligations interact.

While differing from traditional exegeses, Maulana Sindhi’s unique interpretative approach emphasizes addressing contemporary issues without diverging from fundamental Islamic beliefs. He interprets Qur'anic wisdom in a way that resonates with modern intellectual minds, especially targeting youth trapped in the socio-cultural influence of the West. Sindhi’s work highlights the Qur’an as a comprehensive guide to human revolution, emphasizing immutable values aligned with human nature. Through the example of Surah Al-Asr, he underscores the significance of revolutionary movements rooted in truth, perseverance, and collective struggle as essential elements for societal progress.

The issue of status and use of religious or textual proofs in the domain of Aqeeda has been upon the issues of contention between different Muslim theological schools of thought in particular and among the Muslim legal school of thought in general. Many scholars who identify and align themselves with that school of Muslim thought which is opposed to kalam and theological reasoning often argue and claim that the theologian's heresy lies in their undermining attitude towards the religious textual text whether its Quran or the Prophetic Sunnah and because this text is the basis of religious teaching so undermining it in the issues of Aqeeda will lead to heresy.</p> Ubaidullah Jamil Ubaid, Dr. Muhammad Arif Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3215 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 حدیث الغش دراسة موضوعیة نقدیة https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3229 <p>This research deals with the hadith of prophet (peace may be upon him): “a Muslim who cheats doesn’t belong to Muslims”.

The curriculum aims to produce religious scholars primarily for work in mosques. The objectives of Islamic Studies in Nigeria, outlined in the National Policy of Education (NPE), are to instill morals and spiritual consciousness in students and to enable them to apply other knowledge for the benefit of humanity. However, the current curriculum has not fully addressed the NPE's objectives. As a result, graduates of Islamic Studies are primarily relevant in religious contexts, lacking the necessary skills for success in the 21st century. To address this, the curriculum in Nigerian universities needs to be reviewed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills, making Islamic Studies graduates relevant in a modern context characterized by global competition, cooperation, information growth, and a service economy. By aligning the curriculum with these demands, the study of Islamic Studies in Nigerian universities can become more attractive, relevant, and enterprise. A qualitative analysis of the current Islamic Studies Central Curriculum in Nigerian universities revealed the need for improvement to strike a balance between religious and mundane life. Moreover, the study found that Islamic education has the potential to address socio-political, economic, and ethical challenges in contemporary Nigeria if properly integrated into the curriculum. Therefore, it recommends an all-inclusive curriculum to achieve 21st-century skills in the country.</p> Oniye Olayinka Ibrahim Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3196 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 A Glimpse into the Scholarly Works of Sheikh Muhammad Hayat Sindhi https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3510 <p>Sindh is considered to be the first region of the subcontinent where the light of Islam illuminated the land.This region has produced numerous scholars who gained renown throughout the Islamic world. Among these luminaries was Sheikh Muhammad Hayat bin Ibrahim Sindhi (d. 1163 A.H.), a prominent Islamic scholar, jurist, and prolific author affiliated with the Hanafi School of jurisprudence. Sheikh Hayat Sindhi was celebrated as one of the leading experts in Hadith, jurisprudence, and various other Islamic disciplines, including Islamic literature. Born in Sindh, Sheikh Hayat Sindhi received his early education from his father. He later traveled to Thatta, where he studied under renowned scholars such as Muhammad MoinThattavi. Seeking advanced knowledge in Islamic disciplines, he migrated to theHaramainSharifain, andeventually settled in Madinah.There he began teaching at Masjid al-Nabawi and dedicated himself to teaching hadith for 24 years. Sheikh Hayat Sindhi authored numerous books on diverse topics related to Islamic studies and the social issues facing Muslim societies. His works, renowned among Islamic scholars, are imbued with wisdom, etiquette, and ethical values derived from the Qur’an, Hadith, jurisprudential insights of eminent scholars, and intellectual reasoning. This study provides a concise biography of Sheikh Hayat Sindhi and examines his contributions across various fields of Islamic knowledge.

In contrast to Western philosophical perspectives that often reduce religion to emotional, psychological, or poetic dimensions, Islam envisions it as an integrated framework encompassing spiritual, social, ethical, and political aspects of human life. The analysis draws upon Western thinkers such as Schleiermacher, Freud, Herder, and Eliade to illustrate how fragmented views of religion have shaped the discourse in Western intellectual traditions. These perspectives are compared with the holistic Qur’ānic approach, which unifies sacred and secular domains under divine sovereignty. The study highlights that reducing Islam to isolated dimensions—ritualism, mysticism, or legalism—fails to capture its comprehensive nature as Dīn. Ibadah transcends rituals, emphasizing spiritual devotion integrated with ethical and societal responsibilities, while Da’wah is presented as a compassionate, wisdom-driven invitation to Islam. The findings underscore the necessity for Muslims to embrace the holistic principles of Dīn, ensuring that Islam remains a relevant and transformative force in the modern world. This research offers a critical framework for reorienting Islamic understanding toward its original, unified essence, enabling individuals and communities to embody the faith comprehensively.</p> Dr. Muhammad Adnan Faisal, Raja Umair Mir, Dr Farman Ali Copyright (c) 2024 Research Journal Ulūm-e-Islāmia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/Ulum-e-Islamia/article/view/3551 Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000
