Spelling Variations in Written English: A Study of SMS Language

Kainat Sabir,Dr. Ali Hussain Bin Sadiq — 2024-07-29

This study investigates the impact of SMS language on spelling deviation of written English among university students. The prevalence of SMS communication due to its affordability has led to the adoption of misspelled language in written communication. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis involving 200 undergraduate students from two universities, the study reveals that a significant majority of students engage in misspelling words, omitting functional words in SMS. Additionally, findings suggest that students often incorporate SMS language unconsciously into their written work, resulting in lower grades and marks. While the standard English language has not been directly affected, the pervasive use of SMS language undermines students' spelling and writing skills. Recommendations to mitigate this impact include government intervention to monitor SMS content, increased media campaigns to raise awareness, and integration of awareness programs into educational curricula. Further research is proposed to explore this phenomenon on a larger scale.

DECODING POLITICS, CLASS AND POWER DYNAMICS: A MARXIST ANALYSIS OF OSMAN HANEEF’S THE VERDICT

Hira Hasnain,Hafiz Muhammad Jahanzaib Zafar,Muhammad Nasir,Sobia Fiaz — 2024-08-05

The present research study provides a Marxist analysis of Osman Haneef's The Verdict, exploring the intricate dynamics of politics, class, and power. The novel serves as a lens through which the struggles between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat are examined, highlighting the systemic exploitation and oppression of the working class. By analyzing the ways in which the bourgeoisie use legal, economic, and religious power to maintain their dominance, this study uncovers the mechanisms of control and marginalization that perpetuate class divisions. The novel also emphasizes the emergence of class consciousness among the oppressed, which is central to Marxist theory. Through a detailed examination of class struggle, alienation, and the labor theory of value, this analysis reveals the inherent inequalities of capitalist society as portrayed in the novel, shedding light on the enduring relevance of Marxist critique in understanding social and economic power dynamics. Haneef’s The Verdict powerfully explores the intricacies of class and power, depicting the persistent conflict between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. This analysis delves into various episodes within the novel where the bourgeoisie wield their power to oppress the proletariat, emphasizing the exploitation and domination carried out for their own advantage. Conversely, the proletariat endures ongoing oppression, marginalization, and discrimination, which are enforced through legal, economic, and religious structures. These oppressive experiences contribute to an increasing awareness of class, a key focus of the novel. Grounded in Marxist theory, this study highlights the theme of class struggle, which is fueled by the uneven distribution of wealth and power. Marx's labor theory of value is examined to expose the exploitation of labor under private ownership, leading to the alienation of workers from both their labor and society within the capitalist framework.

Infinite Interplay of Radcliffe Award’s Lethal Legacy: Nuclear Flash Point in the Making

Riaz Nadeem,Muhammad Ali — 2024-08-11

The Radcliffe Award, a catastrophic boundary demarcation line established in 1947, has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since independence. This study investigates how this unjust Radcliffe Award birthed, amongst several others, a duo of perennial conflict sources between Pakistan and India viz. (i) protracted Kashmir dispute, and (ii) compromised Pakistan's water security by unfairly allocating Muslim majority areas and critical water resources to India. Kashmir dispute has already sparked multiple full-scale conventional wars, while the water security issue has similar potential to escalate into large-scale conflict. Most alarmingly, a war between two nuclear-armed states like Pakistan and India risks the catastrophic use of strategic nuclear warheads, which could be unleashed by any desperate state facing defeat. This chilling prospect underscores the imperative need for diplomatic resolution and conflict prevention, lest the region teeters on the brink of nuclear annihilation. Through scrutinizing existing literature and historical events, this research aims to elucidate the complex dynamics driving tensions and assess the likelihood of nuclear escalation. It finds that Muslims of the subcontinent had long been struggling to get a separate home land at the end of colonial rule, in order to avert the specter of communal riots, the breeding grounds of instability, after the British relinquish its imperial rules. However, contrary to their aspirations for human security, regional peace, and sustainable development, the unjust Radcliffe Award coupled with its arbitrary decisions sowed the seeds of enduring instability in the region. This paper's findings also shed new light on the long-term consequences of the Radcliffe Award. The study derives its signifies by examining the intricate relationships between water security and human security as well as regional stability, this research contributes meaningfully to the existing body of knowledge, providing valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and stakeholders seeking to address the protracted conflicts and disputes.

The increasing trend of "Halal media," persistent issues, and possible solutions in the context of Islamic values

Dr. Munir Hussain, Huzaifa Shabbir,Zumara Iqbal — 2024-08-13

The phrase "halal media" has come into being in the modern day in response to the demand for media content that upholds Islamic values, as stated in the Quran (Qur’an 49:06). This concept, originating as early as 1978, emphasizes compliance with Sharia. The three guiding principles and goals of halal media are the recognition of God's supremacy, the development of the well-being of society, and the advancement of human dignity. By 2024, the halal media market is expected to grow to a value of USD 270 billion worldwide. The halal media sector faces many obstacles, such as Diversity in Culture and Linguistics, Understanding Islamic Principles, Internationalization and Western Influences, Regulation and Censorship, Quality and Competitiveness, Stereotyping and Misrepresentation, Investment and Financing, Technology Difficulties, Youth Involvement, Entertainment, Kid-Friendly Content and Mobile Applications. This article will seek to draw attention to the difficulties Halal media faces and provide light on potential solutions in the context of Islamic teachings. This article will utilize a qualitative research method, utilizing reviews, primary and secondary sources, observations, and interviews with subject-matter experts.

BALANCING GROWTH AND EQUITY: THE IMPACT OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT ON POVERTY AND INCOME INEQUALITY IN MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES

Muhammad Adnan Yasin ,Noreen Safdar — 2024-08-19

This article examines the complex correlation between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), poverty, and income inequality in middle-income countries from 1972 to 2024. We use a detailed analysis along with visual data to show how foreign direct investment (FDI) has led to substantial economic growth in countries like China, India, and Brazil, especially during the 1990s and 2000s. Although there have been economic gains, the positive effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) have not been distributed equally, leading to varied results in reducing poverty and often worsening income inequality. The results of our research suggest that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has made a significant contribution to the creation of jobs and improvement in living standards. However, it is important to note that the effects of FDI differ significantly depending on the specific regions and economic structures. The analysis highlights the significance of local ability to absorb and utilize foreign direct investment (FDI) and the need for specific economic policies to optimize its positive impacts. Therefore, we suggest various policy recommendations, such as increasing investments in education and infrastructure, implementing progressive social policies, and promoting regional cooperation to ensure a fairer distribution of benefits from foreign direct investment (FDI). These strategies are essential for effectively utilizing foreign direct investment (FDI) to achieve inclusive and sustainable development, with the goal of reducing poverty and narrowing income inequalities in middle-income countries.

Dr Waqasia Naeem,Zahira Ashraf — 2024-08-21

This study examines Ali Rohila’s The Whispering Chinar, which deftly tackles problems of masculinity, spiritual validity, and the tenacity of victimized women in the medieval way of life. By using underlining cultural ideals that elevate assertiveness and strength at the same time as eroding societal stability, the novel’s tale analyses how guys’s unwavering quest for pleasure and honor creates competitiveness, prejudice, and narcissism. It explores how non-secular leaders distort belief systems to maintain energy, exposing their good-sized role in changing ethical norms to stifle dissent and preserve inequalities. The narrative points out the notable resilience of girls who endured extreme attacks, both bodily and mental, demonstrating diverse obstacles they face, such as destitution, social stigma, and prohibited admission to justice, at the same time as additionally emphasizing the ability for lady empowerment. The study strengthens its fundamental evaluation with supporting evidence with the aid of using number one records from the book and secondary statistics from feminist thoughts and different sources. The qualitative method of the study stresses the interplay among faith legitimacy, masculine satisfaction, and ladies’ resiliency. It concludes that Rohila skillfully explores these issues through language, character development, and syntax. Further study on gender dynamics and hierarchy of power would benefit significantly from this work, which deepens our comprehension of the socio-cultural dynamics of feudal civilizations.

FROM ‘VERBAL’ TO ‘VISUAL’ RHETORICAL FIGURES: A REVIEW OF CLASSIFICATIONS, TAXONOMIES AND TYPOLOGIES

Muhammad Javaid Jamil,Shahzad Altaf — 2024-08-21

From classical antiquity to the postmodern ubiquity of advertising, rhetorical figures (verbal or visual) occupied the pivotal position in the Western theory of rhetoric and persuasion. Under the traditional categories of figures of speech and figures of thought, it is fair enough to regard them as the “graces of language”, as the “dressing of thought”, as “ornaments”, as “embellishments”, for truly they do “decorate” our everyday language and give it a “style,” in the couturier’s sense. However, it would be a misperception to regard ornamentation as the central or sole function of figures. Affectingly, they have the ability to captivate an audience, evoke emotions, and drive home a point with resonance. In order to explore such nuances of rhetorical figures, the present study delves deeper into their problem of terminological confusion(s) and their deep definitional complexities that have a rich history, evolving alongside the art of suasion and persuasion. In fact, the study aims at exploring the distinct evolution of rhetorical figures from their verbal origins to their modern visual applications. Lastly, the study examines various recent classifications, taxonomies and typologies of both verbal and visual rhetorical figures to highlight research gaps and avenues for future studies.

ETHICAL DIMENSIONS OF AI-DRIVEN SIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION: MOVING BEYOND SIGNS TO SYMBOLS

Gul Muhammad,Sajid Aslam,Qurratulain — 2024-08-21

With the development of AI-driven sign language translation technology, the deaf and hard-of-hearing groups may expect to have more access to services and information and to a reduction in communication gaps. However, careful consideration of the ethical ramifications of these developments is necessary. The ethical implications of AI-driven sign language translation are examined in this work, which emphasises the need to go beyond simple signs and instead focus on the complex contextual symbols that are inherent in sign languages. The risk of spreading misconceptions or mistakes, the quality and cultural sensitivity of translations, and the possible marginalisation of native sign language interpreters are some of the important topics covered. The report also discusses issues with data privacy, the inclusiveness of AI training datasets, and how technology can either strengthen or weaken deaf people's agency. By assessing these moral dilemmas, this study hopes to promote a more sophisticated understanding of how artificial intelligence (AI) can be created and applied in ways that honour and empower the deaf community, guaranteeing that advancements in technology are consistent with the values of justice and equity.

Asif Aziz,Sajid Ali,Muhammad Ashraf kaloi,Nokhaiz zahra — 2024-08-21

The difficulties faced by secondary English learners in Dir Upper, Wari, are investigated in this study. It clarifies that a lot of the English teachers in this area are not properly trained in language teaching. The report also emphasizes how frequently teachers employ the Grammar Translation Method (GTM), which presents challenges for students because it forces them to draw comparisons between English and their home tongue—a method that is counterproductive to successful language learning. Additionally, the study highlights how reading comprehension is not given enough weight in Dir Upper, Wari English language training. Although it is a vital component of language development, reading comprehension is not given enough emphasis in the classroom. Furthermore, the research indicates that integrating native language training with English language instruction presents a number of challenges.Because Pashto and English have different grammatical structures, this bilingual method may cause confusion. As a result, pupils may try to translate directly using Pashto grammar rules. In summary, this study highlights the shortcomings in the English language education system in Dir Upper, Wari. It highlights the need for better teacher preparation, a move away from the GTM, and more attention to the development of reading skills. It also recommends reducing the amount of time spent in the student's native tongue during English instruction in order to improve the overall learning experience.

Wordsworth on Trial: De-romanticizing the Poet Laureate

Rawhawn Ali,Dr. Saima Khan — 2024-08-26

Wordsworth’s poetry, and in the massive body of literary criticism that followed his works, establish him firmly as a revered poet-prophet of the people that preached simplicity and love for Nature, elevating him to a saintly status in literary canon. This study, however, employs Deconstruction as a lens in order to bring the Poet Laureate to trial, and critically evaluate the credibility of this accorded status. The personage and poetry of William Wordsworth shall be examined by utilizing a deconstructive lens, which entails not only a close, unbiased examination of his poetry and the elements it portrayed, but also an investigation of verifiable facts about the poet’s personal life. To ensure a fair trial, a balanced introduction shall be presented in order to establish key facts about Wordsworth and his literary contributions; this will be followed by a thorough examination of his work and critical opinions with the aim to de-romanticize the celebrated poet. Deconstructive approach will be cohesively applied in order to determine what Wordsworth truly was: a great Romantic poet of the people that loved Nature truly, or a clever opportunist who tapped into nostalgic sentiments to make his name- both in real life, and in the literary world.

USE OF ELECTRONIC WORD OF MOUTH (E-WOM) FOR TOURISM DESTINATION SELECTION ACROSS PUNJAB PAKISTAN

Wahid Arjamand Zia,Zahid Yousaf,Muhammad Yousaf,Sofia Mubbsher — 2024-08-31

In the context of contemporary trends in the tourism market, marketing communication has reached a new level. As a means of sharing information, ideas, and emotions to achieve specific outcomes, marketing communication is crucial for the tourism industry. To address the challenges of modern society, marketing professionals need to recognize the advantages of electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM). Its features offer great flexibility in terms of accessibility, a high level of reliability, and the ability to instantly reach a vast audience. The purpose of this study is to determine the role and importance of e-WOM in the travel decision-making process, given its numerous benefits and advantages.

This study is based cross sectional research design. To achieve the research objective, empirical research was conducted on a convenience sample of 156 Pakistani citizens. The study results showed that e-WOM's effects are the only true indicator of the value of products or services, considering their independence, objectivity, and the fact that they are not paid for, fabricated, or falsified. This paper contributes to both theory and practice by demonstrating the importance of the e-WOM concept in the travel decision-making process. Despite being conducted on a convenience sample, this study provides valuable insights into respondents' attitudes toward e-WOM.

Hijab-ing Dissent: Responses to Javeri's Hijabistan and the Limits of Academic Discourse in Pakistan

Sameer Ahmed,Muhammad Afzal Faheem,Ifrah Khan — 2024-09-02

This article is a case study of the critical response generated by Sabyn Javeri’s anthology of short stories Hijabistan in Pakistan, as gleaned from locally published literary and research publications. It argues that these responses, while often methodologically flawed, offer a valuable window into the prevailing ideological landscape of Pakistan. The stories are seen to be fuelled by ‘liberal Western values’, and are claimed to be demonising the hijab and, by extension, devout Muslims. In some cases, the course correction proposed is a reeducation in true Islamic teachings for local women, including Javeri herself. We situate such reactions in their larger ideological backdrop, claiming that they spring from a hesitancy to acknowledge and examine the challenge of modernity. The result is a tendency to essentialise the veil, and a reluctance to engage with the complexities of Javeri’s work. The article also highlights counterarguments to its main proposition, while emphasising the need for a more nuanced understanding of the hijab and its representations in literature. Ultimately, the article calls for a deeper engagement with internal contestations within Muslim societies regarding modernity, identity, and women’s rights.

Critical Analysis of The Enchanted Garden under Propp’s Model

Allah Dad, Zain Luqman Siddiquei,Rabia Rehman,Fakhra Shabir — 2024-09-06

"Enchanted garden" typically refers to a magical or fantastical garden that is often portrayed in literature, art, or folklore. The term evokes a sense of wonder and enchantment, suggesting that the garden is not ordinary but possesses magical or mystical qualities. In various stories and myths, an enchanted garden may be a place where magical creatures dwell, where plants have extraordinary properties, or where the atmosphere is imbued with a sense of otherworldly beauty. Enchanted gardens are common in fairy tales and fantasy literature, often serving as settings for adventures or as places of refuge and transformation. Propp's model, focusing on the structure of folktales, can be applied to narratives featuring enchanted gardens. In the context of an enchanted garden tale, the hero, often a protagonist seeking adventure or a transformative experience, may receive a mandate or quest that leads them to this magical realm. The enchanted garden itself may function as the sought-after place, embodying the magical or mystical elements typical of Propp's narrative functions. Within the garden, the hero may encounter a variety of characters representing Propp's categories, such as a donor providing magical objects or information, a villain opposing the hero's presence, or helpers aiding in navigating the garden's challenges. The princess or sought-for person could be a symbolic element within the garden, representing an ultimate goal or revelation. The dispatcher, typically an initiator of the hero's quest, might set the hero on the path to discover or access the enchanted garden. Thus, Propp's model can be a useful lens to analyze the roles and functions of characters within the structure of a tale featuring an enchanted garden, providing insights into the narrative dynamics and thematic elements at play. This article critically analyses the literature of “Enchanted Garden” in its relation to Propp’s model.

UNDERSTANDING CRIME THROUGH SOCIOECONOMIC LENSES: EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Muhammad Adnan Yasin,Madiha Hasan,Dr Fatima Ali,Shahji Ahmad — 2024-09-12

This study investigates the correlation between socioeconomic factors and crime rates. A study revealed that higher levels of education, especially among women, can have an impact on crime rates. This impact can be attributed to improved reporting of crimes or increased socioeconomic tensions. Nevertheless, a robust inverse relationship was discovered between the level of education among women and the occurrence of crime, underscoring the significance of empowering women through education to mitigate criminal activity. Economic indicators, such as GDP, demonstrated a negligible direct influence on crime rates, indicating that economic expansion in isolation does not necessarily lead to decreased crime. The positive correlation between population density and crime indicates that densely populated areas have higher crime rates because of social tensions and resource competition. The study proposes a comprehensive strategy to tackle crime, which involves allocating resources to educational initiatives, fostering inclusive economic development, improving social services, addressing issues related to population density, implementing employment programs that target specific groups, and promoting community policing and reporting of criminal activities.

Ikramuddin Junejo,Dr. Sarfraz Ali Malak,Khushnood Khalid,Dr. Syed Salahuddin — 2024-09-20

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of circular economy practices (CEP), sustainability orientation (SO), and environmental performance (EP) within food supply chain firms in Pakistan. In order to test the proposed hypotheses, the data were gathered from 229 participants. In the current research study, we used quantitative research and structural equation modelling SEM applied in the SmartPLS version. The current research results suggest that CEP positively and significantly impacts SO and EP. In addition, it was recommended that the SO relationship between CEP and EP be established for Pakistan's in-food supply chain firms as a developing country. Thus, extending the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, it is possible to indicate that circular economy offerings are valuable resources for obtaining competitive advantages in food supply chain firms. In that regard, the study offers managerial implications for the organization to implement circular economy strategies and foster a more sustainable culture. In conclusion, this research pays attention to the fact that organizations, businesses and industries must embrace circular economy and sustainability values to reduce their negative impact on the environment and work towards sustainable solutions in the long run.

Decoding Consumer Perception: The Cognitive Mechanisms of Psychological Pricing on Student Purchasing Behavior

2024-09-22

Psychological pricing is a key strategy businesses use to influence consumer behavior through pricing tactics that appeal to psychological and emotional aspects of purchasing decisions. This study, conducted via a Google Forms survey of 83 individuals, aims to investigate the impact and relation of psychological pricing on student perception, examining how students perceive prices and make purchasing decisions based on pricing strategies. Recognizing consumer behavior is essential for effective marketing plans, and evidence shows that psychological pricing communicates meaning to consumers. This study uses secondary data from research papers, monographs, theses, popular articles, and newspapers to examine the impact of psychological pricing on consumer buying behavior. Findings indicate that socio-demographic factors like age, income, education, gender, lifestyle, family size, reference groups, social roles, status, and psychological patterns like representativeness, product availability, and anchoring heuristics, influence consumer buying behavior. Price-cognizant consumers are more likely to select nine-ending prices, with low-involvement customers, those with minimal hedonic and symbolic attachment profiles, low education, low income, and younger customers being more prone to select nine-ending priced products and services. These findings affect retailers, pricing managers, researchers, academicians, society, and government.

Through a qualitative analysis of Chaucer's work, using George Lakoff's theory of metaphor, this study highlights the relevance of the global village concept in understanding medieval society. The research further connects medieval societal dynamics to contemporary notions of globalization, offering a deeper understanding of Chaucer's work and its broader implications for both literary and historical studies.

TO EXPLORE THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SOCIAL EXCLUSION IN ASSOCIATION OF BULLYING VICTIMIZATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING AMONG ORPHANS LIVING IN ORPHANAGES

Mahnoor Khizar,Hira Fatima,Mahnoor Tariq,Munazza Ashraf — 2024-09-25

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between bullying victimization, social exclusion, and psychological well-being among orphans living in orphanages. The research explored the mediating role of social exclusion in the association between bullying victimization and psychological well-being. A sample of 250 orphans participated in the study, and data were collected using the Multidimensional Bullying Victimization Scale (MBVS), the Scale for Social Exclusion (SCP), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS23. The findings revealed that bullying victimization had a significant negative impact on psychological well-being among orphans. Higher levels of bullying victimization were associated with lower levels of psychological well-being. Furthermore, social exclusion was found to mediate the relationship between bullying victimization and psychological well-being. The study indicated that orphans who experienced more bullying victimization also reported higher levels of social exclusion, which in turn contributed to decreased psychological well-being. Gender differences were also observed in the study. Female orphans reported higher rates of victimization from bullying and depressive symptoms compared to male orphans. On the other hand, male orphans reported higher levels of perceived social support, perceived school safety, and perceived discrimination. These findings suggest that victimization due to bullying may be a significant risk factor for female orphans, influencing their psychological well-being. The results of this study emphasize the importance of addressing bullying victimization and social exclusion among orphans in institutional settings. Interventions and support systems should be implemented to prevent and mitigate the negative consequences of bullying victimization and promote inclusive and supportive environments. By understanding the unique challenges faced by orphans, especially in terms of gender differences, targeted interventions can be developed to enhance their psychological well-being and overall resilience.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL EFFECTS OF POLITICAL ACTIVISM THROUGH ICTS AMONG THE STUDENTS OF UOS, SARGODHA AND BZU, MULTAN.

Muhammad Qasim Ali — 2024-10-03

This study investigates the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) among university students in Pakistan, focusing on their perceptions, usage patterns, and the impact of ICTs on political activism. A total of 300 students from the University of Sargodha (UOS) and Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) Multan participated in the survey, providing insights into demographic characteristics, gender differences, and the challenges faced in utilizing ICTs for political purposes.

The findings reveal a generally positive perception of ICTs as tools for political engagement, with significant differences observed in the reliance on ICTs for political developments based on gender. Female students demonstrated a higher reliance on ICTs compared to their male counterparts. Analysis of ICT usage patterns indicated that while both groups engage in similar levels of political participation and sharing of political content, students from BZU exhibited a more purposeful engagement with ICTs for various political activities.

Correlation analyses further highlighted complex relationships among key variables, suggesting that students' expression of political opinion does not necessarily correlate with an increase in political knowledge. Despite acknowledging the empowering role of ICTs, significant challenges remain, including concerns about trust in online content and fear of repercussions for expressing political views.

Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of ICTs in the context of political activism among youth in Pakistan and emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to enhance students' engagement with digital platforms for political purposes.

The research explores how the content and language used in YouTube Kids can influence children's perceptions of gender, considering the cultural context of Pakistani society. The study employs a qualitative research approach, interviews with parents, teachers, religious scholars, parenting experts, child specialists, psychologists, psychiatrists, hypnosis and NLP master trainers, communication specialists, and mainstream media experts. Purposive sampling was used to select 17 participants from Lahore, Pakistan. The data collected through semi-structured interviews was analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal that while children learn gender roles primarily from home and society, YouTube Kids can influence their understanding of gender. Parents play an important role in guiding children's media consumption and mitigating potential negative influences. The study also explores the impact of YouTube Kids on language acquisition. Participants agreed that children can easily learn new languages through these apps, significantly expanding their vocabulary. However, it is essential for parents to monitor children's social media use and provide guidance to ensure positive outcomes. This highlights the importance of parental supervision and guidance in navigating the complex landscape of YouTube Kids and its potential influence on children's gender roles and language development.

Muhammad Maaz Arif, Nudrat Bano,Siddiqua Aslam Qureshi — 2024-09-30

Norman G. Finkelstein, a prominent scholar with a PhD in political science from Princeton University, is recognized for his detailed analysis of the Israel-Palestine conflict. His influential works address Israeli policies, humanitarian issues, and international law, advocating for justice for Palestinians. Finkelstein's notable publications include "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict”, "Beyond Chutzpah”, "This Time We Went Too Far", “Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom” and “I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It!” where he critiques historical narratives, human rights abuses and cancel cultures while challenging the misuse of

Anti-Semitism in silencing dissent. His scholarship highlights the human impact of illegal Israeli military actions and advocates for a just resolution to the conflict. Despite facing academic opposition, particularly from figures like Alan Dershowitz, Finkelstein's relentless pursuit of truth has significantly shaped the discourse on Palestinian rights, making a compelling case for his consideration for the Nobel Peace Prize.

DISINTEGRATION OF INDIGENOUS VALUES UNDER CAPITALIST CULTURE: A COMPARATIVE MARXIST STUDY OF THE MURDER OF AZIZ KHAN AND THE WHITE TIGER

Muhammad Afzal,Iqra Arshad,Zainab Mukhtar,Lubna Moazzama — 2024-09-28

Disintegration of traditional values remains a pressing issue, particularly relevant in the contemporary era. This research aims to examine, through comparative mode, the disintegration of indigenous values under capitalistic culture as depicted in The Murder of Aziz Khan and The White Tiger. The theoretical framework guiding this research is grounded in Marxist literary theory. Developed by Karl Marx, this framework encompasses a set of political and economic ideas that Marxists believe can facilitate the interpretation and transformation of the prevailing exploitative capitalistic structures into a more equitable societal order. It fundamentally critiques Western capitalism as an inherently materialistic endeavor that has marginalized and distorted pre-imperial humanistic cultures while also challenging the homogenization of diverse cultural practices and ideologies under the hegemony of the bourgeoisie, which aims to establish a global consumer culture. The research posits that the bourgeois class in both literary works operates as neo-imperialists, perpetuating the exploitation of marginalized groups within society. The pre-capitalistic ethos of social harmony and collective well-being is supplanted by a culture that commodifies individuals, engenders class conflict, and fosters socio-economic oppression of the impoverished. The research concludes that capitalistic culture leads to a bifurcated society divided into two distinct classes—the capitalist/rich and the working/poor—marked by pervasive inequality, injustice, exploitation, and the degradation of the underprivileged by the affluent. Additionally, it reflects the dominance of ruling-class ideologies, the inclination toward Western cultural values, and the ongoing presence of neo-imperialistic forces.

شریعت و طریقت میں ہم آہنگی اور مغایرت(غلط فہمیوں کا ازالہ)

Dr Shabir Ahmad Jamee,Dr Abduljabbar,Muhammad Abu Bakar — 2024-08-02

In relation to jurisprudence and Sufism, a large section of Muslims fell victim to exaggeration and misguidance. But the scholars did not get the education and training, nor did they have access to the authentic books of Sufism. Rather, the ignorant claimants saw the self-made wrong approach of the Sufis and mistook it for Sufism. He became disgusted with Sufism itself and declared Sufism to be excluded from religion, but rather atheism and Zandaqah This is a serious misconception that is prevalent among a large number of people. That is to say, many such misconceptions are spread about Sufism and jurisprudence. On one side, there is exaggeration, on the other, extravagance. Islam teaches the path of moderation. Turks do not consider the world as a religion. He wants to make the path of Sufism useful by molding it in the form of Sufism. He does not believe in the contradiction between Sharia and Tariqat, but is convinced that both should go together. will be reviewed.

بیعُ المُزَایِد ۃ (نیلامی /بولی کی شرعی حیثیت اور احکام)

Sami ul haq,Asma Nosheen,Muhammad Shakeel — 2024-08-31

Bai al-Muzayadah, commonly known as auction or competitive bidding, holds significance in Islamic finance and commerce. In this type of transaction, sellers present their items for sale without fixing a price and interested buyers compete by offering higher bids until the highest bid is accepted. The item is then sold to the bidder who placed the highest offer.

In Islamic jurisprudence, Bai al-Muzayadah is recognized as a permissible method of sale, allowing goods to be sold to the highest bidder through a transparent bidding process. The practice aligns with Islamic values of fairness and market efficiency, providing a mechanism for determining the true market value of commodities. This paper aims to explore its position within the framework of Islamic principles, investigating its commandments, conditions, and ethical implications.

It examines the requirement for transparency, honesty, and the absence of prohibited elements such as uncertainty (gharar) and exploitation (ghasb). By adhering to these conditions, Bai al-Muzayadah upholds the principles of justice and integrity in Islamic commerce. Furthermore, the paper investigates the prevalence of unfair and corrupt methods in Bai al-Muzayadah transactions.

Islam is not only security itself but also has clear principles of security of peace. Describes an unseen summary from each class and all relationships. The history of Islam is a witness that if a ruler in an Islamic empire put the morals of Muhammad (peace be upon him) first, then in that period the non-Muslims and their places of worship were protected just like the Muslims themselves and they were given the same freedom. As for the Muslims themselves, there are bright events in every age which are not only neglected by Islamic history but also by non-Muslim historians themselves who have described them in impressively admirable terms.

Ghulam Mustafa,Seema Zahid,Dr. Hafiz Fida Hussain — 2024-09-05

The work of compiling the Holy Qur'an was completed in the era of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the era of the Companions (Sahābah). It has been needed in every era regarding the meanings and interpretation (Tafsīr) of the Holy Quran. Therefore, there was a commentary on the Qur'an even in the era of the Tabeen (Tābe'īn). Therefore, they preserved the meaning and interpretation (Tafsīr) of the Qur'an. The number of commentators (Mufasserīn) Tabi'een is more than the number of commentators (Mufasserīn) Sahaba who were associated with the knowledge of Tafsīr. While a large number of Tābe'īn devoted their lives to knowledge and handed over the knowledge of Tafsīr to the Ummah. Ibn Taymiyyah states that the people of Makkah who have the most knowledge of tafsir are the students of Ibn-e Abbas, such as Mujahid bin Jabr, Ata bin Abi Rabah, Ikramah, Saeed bin Jubir and Tawoos. In this research article we discuss the life and work of these five Tābe'īn Mufasserīn.

ASSESSING THE INTERFACE LINKING THE ISLAMIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM (IES) WITH THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC PARADIGM

Muhammad Ilyas Dr. Muhammad Saeed Tayyab — 2024-09-10

Islamic economics, guided by Sharia and the Quran, emphasises the prohibition of speculative transactions, a key factor contributing to economic stability. However, concerns have been raised about the practical implementation of Islamic economic principles and their compatibility with modern economic structures. The Islamic Economic System (IES) prioritises stability and fairness, avoiding usury, monopoly, hoarding, and speculation, leading to a current account deficit. A self-sufficient model characterises its industrial policy, reluctance to rely heavily on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and a commitment to economic justice and equitable distribution of resources. The IES’s primary objective is to provide a robust system focusing on balanced, moderate and sustainable economic development and appreciating state involvement in heavy sectors to balance private ownership. IES encourages limitless liability in shareholding, creating accountability, such as the prohibition of bankruptcy with monopoly, which could lead to wealth concentration and economic inequities in society. The IES’s guiding principle of “Itedal” emphasises fiscal prudence, where spending should be less than earnings, and plays a pivotal role in controlling fiscal deficits that could undermine the overall economic well-being of society.

رقیہ شرعیہ،"شرعی دم" شارحین ِصحیح بخاری کا مؤقف

Dr.Ahsan Ul Haq, Dr.Abdul Ghaffar — 2024-04-14

Every blowing that contains divine names and invocations is useful in all kinds of spiritual and physical diseases.The Prophet ﷺ has especially described it as very useful in the case of bad eyesight, fever or poisonous sting.In the same way, it is permissible to recite the verses of the Holy Qur'an, supplications and words in which there is no suspicion of shirk and disbelief and which have been proven useful by the experience of the jurists and muhadditheen.Non-Qur'anic rakyats were offered in front of Him (PBUH).when He (PBUH) heard the words of Dum and if there were no mistakes or doubts in it, He (PBUH) would give permission to do dum with these words.This makes it clear that every breath and breath that does not involve shirk and the words are not ambiguous can be taken as a remedy. While this highlights the usefulness of inhalation for various diseases and disorders. it also proves the justification of modern methods of treatment. Therefore, inhalation is very important for the treatment of psychological and spiritual diseases. Therefore, it is often Scholars and Muhadditheen, in the light of their personal experiences and observations, treat a particular disease with specific verses or authentic prayers, then Allah grants them healing. Today's society has become a victim of superstition, misguided priestcraft, due to academic and practical weaknesses in the present age. Especially in the Indian subcontinent and Pakistan, this superstition is common. There are also theories. Some people believe in Dum/blowing and some believe in non-blowing. There are many groups on this matter in Pakistani society. It is necessary to understand it in the light of the scientific ideas of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) and its commentators,explainers and the intellectual and academic unity in the society should be promoted.

موضوع احادیث کے بارے میں مسلکی رجحانات:مختلف مکاتب فکر کا عصری تناظر میں تحقیقی جائزہ

Hafiz Muhammad Hasnain Asadi,Shahina Imran,Dr. Allah Ditta — 2024-10-05

This study undertakes a nuanced examination of fabricated Ḥadiths, putting them within the multifaceted tapestry of sectarian trends in present-day Islamic approach towards the sayings of the Holy Prophet. Hadith is considered the second most important source of Islamic Sharaih accodinf to Muslim scholars. Moreover, Hadith is the authentic source of Quranic exegesis. Some wicked people started to create Hadiths during the era of Rashidah Caliphate. There were different objectives behind this approach and it can be classified in to different categories such as political or tribal prejudices, different religious trends, cultural and social contradictions etc. The greatest uprising of modern-day era is to narrate the Hadiths about virtues in particular and in the chapter of theology in general. The worthless stuff is being described and attributed to the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Moreover, sectarian inclination has added fuel to this trend. This article will expose these trends about unfolding the status of fabricated Hadith.

Hafiz Mubashir Rasheed,Hafiz Abdullah Saleem,Abeera Asif — 2024-09-29

“Injaz al-Hajah Sharh Sunan Ibn Majah” was written in Arabic by Muhammad Ali Janbaz, a renowned scholar from Pakistan. In this book, after verifying each hadith, he identified its authenticity and weakness, and also provided brief biographies of the narrators mentioned in the hadith. This research encompasses the commentator's adopted approach in introducing the narrators of hadith, where: Verbatim quotes are taken from basic sources and references. Statements are concisely paraphrased, omitting names of teachers and students. Selective references are made to the opinions of prominent Imams of hadith criticism regarding the authentication and weakening of narrators. The commentator mentions the opinions of scholars of Rijal (biographies of narrators) without referencing specific books. Sometimes, he quotes from sources by mentioning their names. As needed, the commentator also provides the correct pronunciation of the names of narrators. He concisely mentions the biographies of shared narrators found in Sahihain (Bukhari and Muslim) and Sunan Ibn Majah. Sometimes, the commentator considers a narrator's presence in Sahihain sufficient and doesn't provide their biography. For Sunan Ibn Majah's unique narrators, the Imams' opinions are noted. He clarified that although there are many unreliable narrators, trustworthy ones also exist. In Injaz al-Hajah, the commentator has kept personal commentary on narrators to a minimum. After mentioning the differences of opinion among the Imams, he rely on Ibn Hajar's statement. Rarely, he express his personal opinion.

صحابی کی تفہیم: اصولیین اور محدثین کے نقطہ نظر کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

حافظ عبدالستار — 2024-09-30

The concept of a "Sahabi" (Companion) holds significant importance in Islamic scholarship, particularly among the scholars (Uṣūliyyīn) and traditionists (Muḥaddithīn). This study examines the definitions and interpretations provided by both groups, drawing from the work of Allama Syed Shah Hussain Gardezi in his book Tafazaniya. Gardezi emphasizes that there is no definitive scriptural definition of "Sahabi" in the Quran or Hadith. Instead, the definitions emerged in the third century Hijri and are inherently interpretative, leading to inevitable disagreements among scholars based on their preferences, aspirations, and intellectual frameworks. While Gardezi upholds the Uṣūliyyīn's definition as more robust due to its inclusion of specific conditions that delineate the status of companionship, he also acknowledges the perspectives of the Muḥaddithīn. Despite this, he critiques their views for lacking substantial evidence. The study further explores the implications of these differing definitions, noting that strict adherence to certain criteria can exclude numerous companions from the esteemed status of "Sahabi." Ultimately, this research seeks to elucidate the complexities surrounding the definition of a Sahabi within Islamic scholarly discourse, highlighting the interplay between different interpretative frameworks.

عبدالرحمٰن الجزیری کی کتاب ”الفقہ علی المذاهب الاربعة“ کی روشنی میں رفع حاجت کے احکامات

Dr. Muqaddas Ullah,Aisha Rizwana — 2024-09-27

In "Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Arba'ah," Abd al-Rahman al-Jaziri discusses the issues of relieving oneself and performing istinja' (cleansing after using the toilet) with water or stones according to the four major Islamic schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali). Regarding the act of relieving oneself, all four schools agree on certain etiquettes that must be observed, such as sitting while relieving oneself, avoiding facing the qibla (the direction of Mecca), covering the body, refraining from talking during the act, and choosing a place that is out of public sight. There is also consensus among the four schools that if both water and stones are available, one should first clean with stones and then purify with water, as this ensures greater cleanliness and purification. In this research paper, Abd al-Rahman al-Jaziri’s work "Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Arba'ah" presents the different opinions of the juristic schools in a comprehensive manner, and the research further investigates and references these views.

Stylistics as a term is registered in German, English and French languages since nineteenth century.

ناصر کاظمی کی شاعری کا فنی تجزیہ

.Imran Haider,Dr. Parveen Kallu ,Muhammad Umar — 2024-08-01

All of the poetry of Nasir Kazmi is included in these collections "Barg-e-Nay", "Deewan", "Nishat-e-Khwab", "Pahli Barish" etc. The main reason for this is that he was not an externalist like other contemporaries. He is a poet at heart. Despite talking to his friends in restaurants and hotels, wandering at night, commenting on social and political situations and talking to passers-by, he used to spend time in solitude and think about poetry.

Lived in the dark. The recognition of his personality in poetry is different from his biographical personality. Eliot, therefore, has not given any importance to the real personality of a poet. The personality that emerges in poetry, that criticism becomes noticeable in relation to poetry. The personality that emerges in Nasir Kazmi's poetry is a quirky and unique personality. It is beyond homogeneity, uniformity, axiality and monotony, it is a multifaceted, diverse and dynamic personality, it is formed by emotionality, aesthetics, thinking and dreaming.

Basically, love is the driving force behind the colorfulness and vibrancy of Nasir's poetic personality. Love stimulates their creative power. They are imbued with the passion of love but do not separate it from their specific cultural and social environment; despite flying in the skies, their feet remain on the ground. They are suspicious of the distance of the beloved whom they want and long for his closeness, but they are deprived of the closeness of the beloved. As a result of this, they go through sorrow and pain and feel the burning condition of their liver. It turns into longing. In this way love becomes all colors for them. In Hasrat and Faraq, love is limited to leaving the beloved, in Nasir, love turns into the truth of human relationships, passion and attraction, as well as the tragedy of broken heart. Some Technical qualities of the poetry of Nasir Kazmi has been discussed in this article.

اُسلوب ِسر سیّد کا تمثیلی انداز

کِرن رُباب نقوی,پروفیسر ڈاکٹر باقر وسیم — 2024-08-05

"The use of purposeful anecdote and representation as scholarly gadgets ranges across societies and ages, bearing critical authentic roots. Starting prominently in antiquated Greek writing, exemplified by scholars like Plato in works, for example, 'The Republic' and his 'Purposeful anecdote of the Cavern', these methods emblematically typify significant philosophical ideas like illumination, reality, and information. In Urdu writing, the reception of purposeful anecdote and representation rises above solitary attribution, developing naturally as basic parts of its more extensive artistic legacy. Inside the rich embroidery of Urdu abstract articulation enveloping verse, composition, and various narrating designs, famous writers and scholars skillfully coordinate figurative subtleties and exemplification, lifting the stylish allure and significant profundities of their works. Vital among these figures is Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, whose clever works carefully investigated different features of Muslim life in the Subcontinent, utilizing figurative and emblematic themes to dig into philosophical and otherworldly subjects while prudently resolving the predominant issues of his period. Consequently, this logical talk expects to investigate the topical utilization of Purposeful anecdote and Representation in the Articles of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan inside the nuanced setting of Urdu writing."

Muhammad Pervaiz,Dr. Muhammad Mumtaz Ul Hasan — 2024-08-14

"Many verses of the Holy Qur'an clearly recognize the right of individuals to own and dispose of property, including land, fields, gardens, houses, produce, riding and beasts of burden. , seagoing vessels, cash capital, and other items are owned by individuals. During the blessed era of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), people used to own all kinds of property and do all the lawful disposal of them. It was common practice to give cash capital to an entrepreneur on the principle of keeping it safe, investing it in a business, lending it, or sharing in the profits. The practice of keeping riding animals for personal use and driving these animals for hire was also a factor. Individuals used to own their residential houses. Cultivating the land, planting gardens and being considered the owners of their fields and gardens, these properties were bought and sold and distributed among their heirs after the death of the owner. The Prophet himself and Akbar Sahabah (RA) used to own all kinds of property, use it for personal use, or use it for business purposes. The Sunnah is the rate of the Qur'an and the true meaning of these verses in the light of the Sunnah is that individuals have the full right to own property, both consumables and the prevailing means of birth.

The Holy Qur'an has declared trade as a legitimate practice, laid down detailed rules of inheritance and made it a crime to steal the property of others, all of which indicate that individual ownership is considered Muslim. The practice of individual ownership of consumables and means of birth was common even before the Prophet's mission. Even if there was no positive declaration of recognition of individual ownership in the Qur'an and Sunnah, it would have been considered according to the general rule of Sharia that Islam is giving a certificate of legitimacy by keeping silent on this custom has recognized and the Prophet (PBUH) has made this fact more clear through his numerous sayings.

Urdu has benefited from Arabic and Persian languages as it is a compound and absorbent language; even there are some poetical forms that have been included in Urdu language and these are originally from the mentioned other two languages; especially the science of metrical structure of the poetry has been adopted in pursuance of Arabic and Persian languages, which is called “Ilm-e-Urooz”. There are seven “Mufrad Buhoor” while twelve “Murakkab Buhoor” out of total nineteen “Buhoor” prevailing in Arabic and non-Arabic metrical structures. But there is no “Bahr” out of these twelve “Murakkab Buhoor” that is in common absolute use in Urdu poetry, however, there have been poetic works that adopt the “Zuhaf Awzan” of these “Buhoor”. About six of these “Buhoor” have been in common use in poetic works out of those twelve and the other six have been abandoned as they were not according to the style of Urdu language.

افسانہ اور علامتیت: "بجوکا" کے علامتی ڈھانچے کا تنقیدی جائزہ

ڈاکٹر اسد محمود خان — 2024-08-20

Symbolism is a potent literary technique used by writers to convey profound themes, feelings, and social critique in their stories. The scarecrow (بجوکا), an apparently ordinary character, has captivated the minds of short-story writers for years. The scarecrow serves as a multifaceted emblem, representing concepts such as seclusion, safeguarding, individuality, and the contrast between the organic and the man-made. This research seeks to clarify the scarecrow's ability to deeply resonate with readers by closely analyzing certain texts and examining critical perspectives. Moreover, this study explores the socio-cultural circumstances that have impacted the representation of the scarecrow in literature, elucidating its evolution from a practical farming implement to a meaningful metaphorical instrument. Through an analysis of the development of scarecrows, we can have a deeper understanding of how short stories mirror and react to shifting perspectives on rural life, agriculture, and the human experience. Therefore, the complex web of symbolism woven by the scarecrow in fiction is revealed. This research enhances the overall comprehension of symbolism in literature by analyzing its literary depictions and examining its socio-cultural importance. Additionally, it acknowledges and appreciates the ongoing fascination with an apparently ordinary character in the realm of fiction.

خطباتِ اقبال کا اردو ترجمہ " مذہبی افکار کی تعمیرِ نو " از شریف کنجاہی( تحقیقی و تنقیدی جائزہ )

سعدیہ رضی,ڈاکٹر محمد آصف — 2024-08-29

“Iqbal’s English sermons, published in 1930, play a vital role in reshaping Islamic philosophy. His unique blend of ideas has yet to be matched. Iqbal's work masterfully addresses core issues in Islamic research and modern philosophy, presenting solid arguments that remain unparalleled. Since the creation of Pakistan, four regular Urdu translations of the book have been presented. However, Nazeer Niazi's translation work was regarded difficult due to his complex language and intricate terminology which left the need of new translations. Following Sharif Kunjahi's 1977 Punjabi translation, he again took on the task, producing a 1992 Urdu translation titled “Mazhabi Afkar ki Tameer-e-Nau”. Moreover, Iqbal’s deep philosophical English discourses still require translation in to accessible language for broader understanding. While Sharif Kunjahi's Urdu work is commendable, it could not escape influence of his native Punjabi language and lacks precision in translating Quranic verses, and Persian references, limiting its appreciation. Nevertheless, Kunjahi's work remains engaging, showcasing a unique blend of Punjabi and Urdu styles reflective of his temperament.”

The Progressive Movement profoundly impacted the literary and social landscape of the Indian subcontinent, introducing new themes and trends to the literary world and raising social consciousness. While the objectives and manifesto of this movement often overshadowed its internal aspects, labeling it as purpose-driven, the fiction writers influenced by this movement emphasized the individual's internal experience. They creatively portrayed social issues through an individualistic lens, making their stories symbolic for society. Their narratives reflect personal anguish more than collective concerns, illustrating individual internal turmoil, anxiety, melancholy, inferiority and superiority complexes, social alienation, lack of identity, societal pressure, and sexual factors. Their mastery lies in reflecting historical and cultural tragedies through the internal world of a single person. In the stories of Prem Chand, Bedi, Krishan Chander, and Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, internal tendencies overshadow external factors. This piece aims to highlight the individual internal aspects of the Progressive Movement, whether social, psychological, or personal.

Suhail Akram,Dr. Rabia Sarfraz,Dr. Rubina Yasmeen — 2024-09-20

This article is about Khatir Ghaznavi and Muhammad AnsarUllah’ theories regarding the origin of Urdu. Khatir Ghaznavi has given various arguments in the light of which he tries to prove that if different tribes and groups are involved in the formation of the Urdu language, then the most important groups are from the Frontier Province. According to this theory ,Urdu should be related to Hindko. .Khatir Ghaznavi has also presented samples of Urdu and other languages to prove that if language emerges only by the movement of people and the matching of words of one language with the words of another language ,then most people entered India through the Khyber Pass. History also says that all the raids and conquests of India were carried out by way of Peshawar, because the movement of caravans and the mixing of different languages took place in this area.Dr.AnsarUllah is of the opinion that Urdu is a purely Indian language but has influences from other languages. Among these other languages , he is convinced of the importance of only one language and that is Tamil. The arrival of different nations in India and the times of their departure are different.
