Abstract :
This article attempts to discover the basic sources of ‘ilm al Kal┐m and to find answer to the question that whether ‘ilm al Kal┐m and its dialectical techniques have been borrowed from Christian and Latin theology? It is clear that the codification of ‘ilm al Kal┐m and related writings started from the second Hijra and still continues but very little efforts have been made about the underlying factors about the fundamental sources and evolution of ‘ilm al Kal┐m. The article also focuses on to find out the originators of ‘ilm al Kal┐m and their works from the sources of Islamic history. The article concludes that ‘ilm al Kal┐m and its origin did not find its roots in Christianity or Latin theology, but like other Islamic sciences is a result of the intellectual efforts of Muslim themselves who laid its foundations on the standards derived from the Qur’┐n, the Sunnah and the sayings of Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The research substantiates that Im┐m Ab┴ ╓an┘fa is the real founder of ‘ilm al Kal┐m, who wrote five books on the subject in the second year of Hijra, most of which are not only famous among Muslims scholars, but are also included in the curriculums of many famous universities and religious seminaries3) ابو اسحاق الثعلبی اور اس کی تفسیر کا تعارف

Moreover it transcends the limitations of time, place and tradition. The present paper is an attempt to illustrate the fundamental codes of ethics of journalsm in Qur’┐nic perspective.7) دور الفرد في مكافحة جريمة العرض في الشريعةالإسلامية والقانون الوضعي

Abstract :
Islamic Law has legalized protection of the human honour and dignity. The role of an individual to fight against the crime of any sensual assault against body resulting in adultery or rape or kidnapping has been thoroughly discussed in Islamic law. According to shar┘’ah adultery with or without consent is absolutely banned. That is why there is a great importance of the role of individual to defend her/himself from this heinous crime even if s/he has to kill the aggressor in order to prevent crime and making society pure.

Abstract :
Im┐m ║abari is among those prominent jurists who highlighted the principles of an authentic ╒ad┘th and established the principles of his school of thought through which he derived rule of shar┘’ah from its fundamental sources i.e. the Qur’┐n and Sunnah. Im┐m ║abari has not stipulated any mandatory condition for text (matn) of ╒ad┘th or chain of narrators (sanad) of ╒ad┘th, although existence of four conditions in a narrator, i.e. probity, credibility, trustworthiness and veracity are vital. On the other hand other scholars of ╒ad┘th have added some additional conditions for an authentic tradition such as continuity of chain (itti╖┐l al-sanad), freedom from irregularity and anomaly (shudh┴dh) and having no defect. Similarly Im┐m ║abari in his work Tahdh┘b al- └th┐r adopted ten principles for the jurisprudential development of his school of law. This paper is a descriptive and comparative appraisal of the referred conditions and principles deduced through induction from Tahdh┘b al-└th┐r. الحمد لله ر10) Sources of Islamic Law: Views of Mawlana Amin Ahsan Islahi
Author(s):Dr. Abdul Rauf
Abstract :
Sources of Islamic law remain a subject of discussion not only in the classical Muslim scholarship but also in the present day religious discourse. Scholars of Islamic jurisprudence declared Qur’an, the Sunnah, Ijma’ and Qiyas as the sources of Islamic law. This view has been widely accepted by theologians and common Muslims. The institutions imparting modern education in Islamic disciplines also accepted the same view on the sources of Islamic law. Mawlana Amin Ahsan Islahi, a steadfast religious scholar of the 20th century touched the subject and expressed his view vividly in his writings and speeches made to audiences including the modern educated segment of society. On many occasion Islahi’s views particularly on the sequences of these sources are different from the traditional and popular views. In the following pages an effort is made to describe and analyse the views of Islahi on the subject and wherever it was possible comparison was made with other ulama and with the modern educated intellectuals of Pakistan. Islahi took a different stand on the subject notwithstanding with neither of the ulama and nor with the modernists.11) Islamic Mutual Funds’ Financial Performance in Adverse Economic Conditions: A Case of Pakistan

Author(s):Dr. Miraj ul Islam Zia/Zarawar Khan
Abstract :
Peshawar remained one of the most important trading and political center of activities throughout the history due to its strategic location. History says that the city became a capital town for different dynasties who ruled over the region and it is, in fact, this area that has been playing a vital role in making and unmaking the history of South Asia. The different archaeological and other remains of these early eras are the testimonies of the glorious past of Peshawar, particularly under the Mughals. The most significant evidences that speak about the splendid rule of the Mughal dynasty are their buildings in form of mosques, tombs and forts or numismatic and epigraphic evidence. The Persian inscription presented here is one of the most important findings which shed light on the religious beliefs and tradition of the people of the time. Although this inscription has been previously mentioned or published by different scholars, unfortunately, it is not only misread but also misinterpreted creating discrepancy in the related history. The present paper is, therefore, an attempt to give a correct reading, accurate translation of the inscription and also comments and draws a historical sketch of the Shyakh’ sect mentioned in the inscription.Volume No. 5
