This belief is called belief in the end of prophethood. This belief is the basis and roots of the religion of Islam and all other beliefs are established through the belief in the Prophethood,because the belief in Tawheed and the belief in afterlife is also based on the belief in the Prophethood. This unseen belief in the existence of Allah and the event of the Day of Judgment also indicates the belief in the Prophethood. For example, if Islam is a tree, then Aqeedah-e-Rasalat is its foundation and root. Similarly, Islam is a building and Aqeedah-e-Rasalat is its foundation. If the foundation is intact then the building is also intact. May Allah not be willing if the foundation is shaken or cut the root, no faith will survive. Similarly, all other beliefs are through the doctrine of the Prophethood.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Mahnaz Shouket, Khaleeq Ur Rehman Copyright (c) 2023 Pakistan Journal of Qur’ānic Studies https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/pjqs/article/view/1677 Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Linguistic Exegesis from the Books of Mu'ajm, A’arab Al۔Qur’ān, and Al۔wajuh o Al۔Nazair https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/pjqs/article/view/1708 <p>The Glorious Quran has been revealed by Allah Almighty as a guidebook for the entire humanity of the world. So, its understanding is necessary in the way that is closest to the meaning of Allah Almighty.

So, in this paper, this specific aspects of tafsir have been discussed that the sources through which the literal interpretation of the Holy Quran can be done, along with it, how a special arrangement has been made about it and how these sources can be utilized? Therefore, in this article, there are discussions about deriving commentary from the books of Mu'ajm, Aaarab Al-Qur'an, and Al-wajuh o Al-Nazair, as well as briefly describing the authors of these books and their compilations and presented many examples as a sample for them.</p> Shafqat Ur Rahman Mughal, Dr. Saeed Ahmad Copyright (c) 2023 Pakistan Journal of Qur’ānic Studies https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/pjqs/article/view/1708 Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Reconsidering the Economic Problem from Islamic Economic Perspective https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/pjqs/article/view/1738 <p>The economic problem has always been a major concern of the social scientists. The economists throughout the history have attempted to address the issues of poverty, inflation and economic instability in conventional economic systems like capitalism and socialism. The fact remains undeniable that so far these sincere efforts have not been able to achieve the goal of social well-being and economic prosperity. Islamic Economics is a relatively new paradigm and based on revelation and moral values which are new concept in conventional economic systems. In the research article, it has been discussed in a logical and deductive method from the sources of Quran and Sunnah that how Islamic Economics addresses the issue of economic problem. Moreover, how the relative scarcity of economic resources has been discussed in Islamic economics. The paper concludes that it is not the issue of relative scarcity and shortage of the resources that causes the economic problems, but it is the secular way of thinking based on greed, faithlessness, materialistic approach, selfishness and immoral behaviour of the people which creates problems.</p> Dr. Naeem Rahman M.
