Rehaman Patel — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0800

During the five hundred years after Prophet Mohammed’s (S) death in A.D. 632, Islam spread far beyond its place of origin in the Arabian Peninsula. As Islam spread, a distinctive style of Islamic art gradually developed. It was used mainly for religious architecture, book illustrations, and the decoration of pottery, metal-ware, and other useful objects. Islamic art was influenced by the artistic styles included late Roman, Byzantine, and Persian art. The new chapter which was opened in the Islamic period led to the creation of remarkable religious buildings. Iranian arts such as calligraphy, wall paintings, stucco (Plaster-cut), mirror work, tile work and metal art became closely tied together in this new era. Islamic architecture and building decoration are among the most beautiful means of expression. Decoration does not play such an important role in any other type of architecture.Islamic art not only describes the art created specially in the service of the Muslim faith but also characterizes the art and architecture historically produced in the lands ruled by Muslims artists.Calligraphy is the most important and pervasive element in the Islamic art. A striking example of this influence is seen in the north Karnataka i.e., in Gulbarga, Bidar and Bijapur the most beautiful wall paintings and stone engravings inside the tombs and outer parts of the architecture.

Hameed Ullah Khan, Muhammad Tariq, Muhammad Ilyas — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0800

Because of terrorism stemming from the unstable Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Pakistan has increased its geopolitical prominence in international politics since 2001. The Frontier Crime Regulation (FCR) 1901, which was inherited from the British, regulated this semi-autonomous region of the country. It remained a grey region after the partition, with the government having little control. During the War on Terror, Pakistan incurred massive losses. Consequently, Pakistan's political parties and military establishment have decided to bring reforms to the legal, socio-economic, political, and security systems there. Following that, the proposal to merge FATA into the mainstream was debated by various stakeholders for several years. In May 2018, Pakistan's parliament approved the merger of the FATA and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa under the 25th Constitutional Amendment (KP). This paper aims to highlight the efforts by the US and Pakistan towards counter terrorism. It is also studying the impacts of this merger on counter terrorism efforts. Further, the impact on Pakistan's internal security was also examined in this study.

Nisar Ahmad, Muhammad Anees Khan, Saeed Ul Haq Jadoon — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0800

There are more than fifty Islamic countries in the world. But in these countries, non-Muslims, too, live as minority. Most of the Islamic countries have given the right of representation in their respective legislative councils (Majlis-e- Shura ), to their non-Muslim minorities. They allocated special seats for them in their respective parliament according to the population of their minorities. Such rules are also practicing in Pakistan. Pakistan has also reserved for them 10 seats in national assembly, 4 Seats in senate, and 9, 3, 8 and 3 seats in Sindh, Baluchistan , Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies respectively. These laws are prevalent all over the world.

Now, the main question of this study is that , is it lawful for any Islamic country to reserve seats in its legislative council for minorities or not? We will try our best to search the answer of this question, in the light of the principle of the Quran and Sunnah , in this research paper.

Dr Mohammad Aslam — Thu, 09 May 2024 00:00:00 -0700

Plagues have shaped our history to some extent as they have been the biggest killers of people and led human beings inevitably to think about some very pertinent questions. The outbreak of plagues in the past raised the whole issue of man’s relationship with God. How could it be that calamities of this kind could occur with omnipresent, all-knowing and omniscient divinity? Who would allow His children to be tortured in anguish, in vast numbers? Diseases do not afflict societies in random and in chaotic ways. They are ordered events because microbes selectively expand and diffuse themselves to explore ecological niches that human beings have created. In an age where scientists are working on life extension or immortality, we are facing an existential threat due to an attack by an invisible enemy, i.e., Covid-19. This existential crisis demands a wholistic analysis of epidemics or pandemics caused by microbes. The author in this article has examined the plagues from a historical, descriptive and comparative method to get an in-depth knowledge of outbreaks.
