Dr. Muhammad Yousuf Farooqi — 2023-12-31

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) paid attention to the civilization and reform of the society before establishing the state and government. For this purpose, he first created the intellectual foundations of the believers with useful knowledge, firm faith, and adorned their attitudes and characters with noble morals. He (ﷺ) established the Islamic society on three foundations: 1. Beneficial knowledge, 2. Firm faith and 3. Moral virtue. These three are the basic guiding principles that not only create peace and moderation in human society but also help a lot in the evolutionary stages of society. The entire life of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before prophethood is a teacher of morals. The moral life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was so impressive, no one had any doubts about his highest position of the noble morals, it makes the practical life of the Prophet (ﷺ) an ideal example for all. After attaining the office of Prophethood, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), continued to teach and train the people about the three guiding principles mentioned above for about thirteen years.

Current Dimensions of Fiqh al-Hadith: A Case Study of Women Empowerment

Dr. Obaidullah Fahad — 2023-12-31

Contemporary Muslim Women are trapped ideologically by the two varieties of Jahiliyyah, as Abdul Halim Muhammad Abu Shaqgah has analysed: 1. the Jahiliyyali of extremism, exaggeration and blind following to forefathers as prevailing the fourteenth century Hijrah of Muslim society; 2. the Jahiliyyah of 21st century Christian era rooted in ultra liberalism, foninisim and a blind following to the West. Both the varieties of Jahiliyyalt constitute a violation of the Shariah dictates and Islamic teachings. Position of women under the Prophet of Islam is to be restored and revived if Islamic awakening in the contemporary world is to be retained in the right direction. This is repeatedly emphasized by Professor Fazlur Rahman Faridi (1932-2011) in his editorials published in the Monthly Zindagi Nau New Delhi, and by Dt.Muhammad Nejatullah Siddiqi in his book Magasid – e Shariat.

The issue of socio-political rights of women in Islam has been a highly debatable and equally controversial issue in the modern Muslim world. The scholars are mainly divided into two groups. One group of scholars seems to be traditional exclusively and negates all political rights to be conferred upon the women. They limit women's activities within the household sphere and discuss politics and socialization out of context in this regard. They explain the verses of the Qur’ān and traditions of the Prophet as well as Islamic history to substantiate their arguments. Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanavi (1863-1943), Maulana Muhammad Idrees Kandhlavi (1899-1974) and other theologians of all the sunni schools of thought form this group.

Dr. Aisha Sadaf — 2023-12-31

The purpose of this research paper is to describe that the “Critical Review of Anti-Islamic Forces in Prophetﷺ Era: and its Impacts on the Modern Age”. One of the major requirements of the Prophet's duties is also the establishment of a welfare state. The completion of the political structure which had been completed in this regard in Medina has come before us in the form of the Righteous Caliphate. In short, the Caliphate which adheres to the principle of rule of the Holy Prophet in all religious and political matters is called "Kẖlāfẗ ʿlā Minhāǧ ālnbuwẗ ". However, the life of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and the Caliphate period is a clear proof of this, in which the temperament and lifestyle of the Holy Prophet were fully represented. However, when heﷺ laid the foundation of an Islamic state and a humane society full of divine laws, various anti-authoritarian and anti-Islamic forces whose power could be a threat to Islam rose from time to time and created problems for Islam and Muslims. The Prophetﷺ remedied them, which will be mentioned in detail in this article.
