The earlier heavenly books neither exist today in their original condition nor in their original language. Despite this, the Bible still mentions the Prophet (PBUH) in different words, and many of his admirable qualities and elegance are alive in the Bible.</em> <em>In this article, the elegance of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) has been reviewed in the light of the books of Hadith and the book of Ghazal al-Ghazlat of the Bible, and then drawn the following conclusions:</em> <em>The mention of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is present in previous heavenly books.</em> <em>His great attributes and prominent character are still alive in the Bible.</em> <em>He was mentioned by name in the book Ghazal al-Ghazlat of the Bible.</em> <em>In the book Ghazal-ul-Ghazalat of the Bible, the attributes of the beloved of Hazrat Sulaiman are proven on the Prophet (PBUH). The elegance of Prophet (PBUH) is the same in previous revealed books and books of hadiths.</em> <em>The personality which is described in the book Ghazal-ul-Ghazlat is far from conceivable to be anyone other than Muhammad (PBUH).</em> <em>He (PBUH) ​​possessed moral and prophetic virtues as well as marvelous character.</em></p> Hafiz Mubashir Rasheed Hafiz Mudassir Rashid Copyright (c) 2023 Hafiz Mubashir Rasheed, Hafiz Mudassir Rashid https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-03-03 2024-03-03 3 1 38 55 10.52461/jwrih.v3i1.2387 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/jwrih/article/view/2474 <p><em>Polygamy creates multiple social and behavioral problems in a family which is the basic unit of a society. In a Muslim society, four simultaneous marriages are allowed for a man at the most. It was revealed after the survey that in Punjab there are multiple reasons why a man may opt or be compelled for a second marriage. A man may be dissatisfied with the affairs of his present marriage, he could fall in love with another girl, he may want to protect a widow’s life by bringing her in a marital bondage or it could be merely due to his family traditions. However, polygamy has challenges of its own that must be identified and adjusted accordingly for a happier and contented life for all stake holders. To the best of our knowledge this issue is not addressed in research with a national context. In the underlying research we investigate various dimensions of this problem by surveying and interviews systematically selected samples of the society of Punjab.</em></p> Aqsa Azam Dr. Asia Shabbir Copyright (c) 2023 Aqsa Azam, Dr. Asia Shabbir https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-03-03 2024-03-03 3 1 56 75 10.52461/jwrih.v3i1.2474 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/jwrih/article/view/2289 <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><em>Islam is a religion, which has been preached by the Prophets (peace be upon them). The Prophets (peace be upon them) started with Adam (peace be upon him) and ended with Muhammad (peace be upon him). Thus, the Holy Prophet came to this world as the last prophet, no other prophet or messenger will come after him, and the door of prophet hood has been closed on him. That is, you are the last of the prophets. This article will be limited to the analytical study of hadiths and relics related to the end of prophet hood in Al-Jami' al-Sahih (by Muhammad ibn Isma'il) and Al-Kafi (by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kalini). Al-Jami' al-Sahih is the most authoritative book of Ahlye Sunnah and similarly Al-Kafi is the most authoritative book of Ahlye Tu Shia. Therefore, the hadiths and relics related to the end of prophet hood in these two books will be presented.</em></p> Ali Raza Yousaf Dr. Syed Abdul Ghaffar Bukhari Copyright (c) 2023 Ali Raza Yousaf, Dr. Syed Abdul Ghaffar Bukhari https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-03-03 2024-03-03 3 1 164 181 10.52461/jwrih.v3i1.2289 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/jwrih/article/view/2488 <p>The article investigates the pattern of argumentation employed in the interpretation of the Qur’ān, specially focusing on the perspective presented in Tafsīr Ziā ul Qur’ān by an eminent scholar and former Judge, Pīr Karam Shāh Al Azharī. Tafsīr Ziā ul Qur’ān is recognized for its comprehensive exploration of the Quranic verses and their connections with the narratives found in other divine scriptures. The core of the article involves a systematic analysis of the patterns of argumentation found in Tafsīr Ziā ul Qur’ān. It explores how Pīr Karam establishes links between the Quranic revelations and the stories, lessons, and moral teachings presented in earlier scriptures. Moreover, the research investigates the impact of this pattern of argumentation on the reader's understanding of the Quran, assessing how it contributes to a holistic comprehension of the interconnectedness of divine messages. The article also explores unique insights presented in earlier scriptures. By critically analyzing the exegetical methods employed, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intellectual framework that shapes the interpretation of these texts and their interconnectedness as presented in this renowned tafsīr.</p> Dr. Muhammad Atif Aslam Rao Usman Ahmed Copyright (c) 2023 Usman Ahmed, Dr. Muhammad Atif Aslam Rao https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ 2024-03-03 2024-03-03 3 1 01 22 10.52461/jwrih.v3i1.2488
