Abstract

The purpose of society in Islam is also based on respect, dignity, justice, love and endurance of mankind and Islam has not laid down any such principle or rule from the very first day to teach good speech and character. That which is contrary to humanity without any distinction. Morality should be a criterion, by which a person can be known, what is his status? Because man is created from two things, one is the external dimension, which we see as these organs. The other is the internal dimension, which is apparently invisible and this is the soul. In both of them there is both good and evil. Unless all the limbs are beautiful they are not called beautiful, in the same way unless all the habits are good they are not called good morals. Islam is the principal religion of humanity and the greatness of humanity. Islam teaches peace, security and love, not hatred and murder, because Allah Almighty has granted the honor to a human being in among all creatures. All human beings are equal as human beings as all human beings are made of dust. Therefore, to consider the division of all humanity on earth on religious, national, regional and linguistic grounds as a criterion of superiority is a threat to humanity itself because these are the stimuluses' and causes that why human beings themselves suffer from humiliation, disgrace and contempt at the hands of other human beings. In this paper all the relevant has been described in detail.

Abstract

This article aims to explain the opinions of Hazrat Ayesha (RA) in the field of spiritual and ritual practices: as Prayer, Fast, pilgrims etc. The fundamental principal of Islamic jurisprudence is that no one can derive or express his or her personal opinion in this regard until and unless it proved that the text is ambiguous or the issue is not settling by the text of Quran and prophetic traditions. Hazrat Ayesha (RA) was the wife of prophet and she observed profoundly the life of Prophet (Peace be upon him) more than any other. Therefore her statements and narrations considers very important and authentic regarding personal and ritual practices of Prophet (peace be upon him), furthermore, she was prominent scholar, jurists and a very expert of derivation legal commands from the text of Quran and prophetic traditions, utmost of the companion rely upon him in determining legal issues. Therefore, I have tried to describe and elaborate the derivations and legal opinions of Hazrat Ayesha (RA) in this research work, particularly, when she expressed different opinion from other companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in an issue which nature is "Mujtahad fiqh". Mostly, Early Muslim jurists depend on her judgment due to her directly observing the practices and family life of Prophet. Abstaining from lengthen; I have discussed briefly one example of each discipline in this article, and described the opinions of other jurists as well.

Authors:   Khair ul Bashar[1], Dr. Niaz Muhammad[2], DOI: https://doi.org/10.37605/fahmiislam.v3i2.201

Abstract

The human being is surrounded by hopes and love of wealth which causes him many disadvantages (mistakes) in financial worship in life. The sharia allowed him to compensate for these mistakes done, through the WILL in one third of the wealth, if he dies in this situation his WILL be executed to achieve the eternal/ everlasting goals, and if he remains alive then this property/ wealth can be used for gains. Though people need the WILL as they need lease, so as an ISTEHSAN like lease WILL is valid. According to analogy WILL is not valid because the testator makes a testament in favour of legatee after his death when ownership no longer exist. Here the testator makes testament in future while according to SHARIA law if a person is in ownership and wants to make an owner subject to the future and say that I made you proprietor in future, this is invalid. Despite the fact that ownership exists and continue to be so, but the transaction is void and invalid, so when the ownership of the testator dose not exists, then such WILL is almost void as the pre-requisite of ownership is questionable, but due to the urgency and need of the day the WILL has been made valid according to ISTEHSAN.

Abstract

In the present era, there is need for preaching services and it is the duty of all Muslims. If we glance into the globe then at this present time, Muslims are all over the world but they are the meekest and inferiority-complex nations of the world and the majority of Muslims is thinking that their progress is in the culture and civilization of foreigners. At this present time, the Muslims are in miserable plight. In Afghanistan, Iraq, philistine and Kashmir, the Muslims are going through the atrocities. The infidel powers are criticizing the Muslims and Islam, focusing on their own objections on the Islam. Along with the jihad and extremism, the Islam is being criticized on the basis of the women right too. If it is said that, the topic of "woman" is the best topic of criticism on Islam then it wouldn't be wrong. And to highlight this topic, one group of Muslim women is very active and as the women is an important part of society as well the representative of the half humanity then it is clear that the misunderstandings which can be created by the women, more than it the woman can be the best reformer. This reformation is possible only in this way that Muslim should act upon Islam and its teachings. The women are important member of the society, the reformation of the society is impossible without the women. The reformation of the woman is the reformation of whole family and the reformation of one family is the reformation of the whole society. The role of women is very important in the preaching. Woman, as a mother, after nourishing his children in a better way can keep the base of a good Islamic society after making them a good Muslim and a good society can be the reason of a good global brotherhood.

Abstract

Apparently, fiqh and seerah are considered different subjects and fields of study. Fiqh relates to law and principles of shariah while seerah considered as life history of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) but it’s an obvious reality that both fields of studies has a deep relation with each other. Fiqh means deep understanding of the orders of the Holy Quran, sunnah and seerah. Without understanding of these three fields thoroughly, the laws and principles of shariah cannot be followed and adopted completely. So that, deep and nearby interaction has been found between seerah and fiqh. The religion awarded to the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H), its rules and regulations, shariah even understanding of each and every aspect of it known as fiqh. In twentyth century, a new way of seerah writing has been observed which describes not only incidents of the Holy Prophet’s life but also shows the teachings behind these incidents and enclose the hidden aspects of wisdom and understanding. In this way of seerah writing, the solutions of contemporary problems has been derived from the incidents of seerah so that seerah can be presented in a paractical way. Such, the paractical application of seerah known as fiqh and this method of seerah writing is known as Fiqh-ul-Seerah or Jurisprudential style of biography in other words. In this regard, Muhammad Saeed Ramzan Alboti (D:2013) has written a book with the title of “Fiq-ulSeerah” in Arabic language. In this book, solutions of problems has been derived from the seerah. In this article, the methodology of Muhammad Saeed Ramzan Alboti to find out the solutions of problems from seerat-ul-nabi has been described in detail. Through this study, it will be tried to gain guidance to resolve the contemporary issues in the light of seerah.

Safar is Arabic word which means journey or to cover a distance. In Urdu and Persian literature, the word 'Nama' which means written text is usually suffixed with the word 'Safar' and read as 'Safarnama' which becomes equivalent to travelogue in English. Ajaebat-e-farang of Youssef Khan Kambal Posh, published in 1847 is considered as one of the earliest travelogues of Urdu literature. In the earlier travelogues, the trend was to provide the geographical information to the reader. Later on, the trend changed and other elements such as feelings, emotions and appreciations were also included. Travelogue of hajj, Mah e Maghreb, was written by Mansab Ali Khan in 1871. In 20th century the trend of hajj travelogue increased and kept on increasing further. The purpose of this article is to examine the emotional endeavors of the selected Hejaz (the area encompasses holy places of Makka and Madina) travelogues published in the first two decades of 21st century (2010 to 2020) to analyze how writers expressed their emotion and sentiments during the travelogues of these two holy places.

Abstract

All Arab scholars, since the day when the first revelation was revealed, have agreed that Qur'an is a major source of Ījāz. They probably carried out a lot of studies regarding this phenomenon from a lot of its micro and macro theological, ritual, syntactical, morphological and stylistics based aspects. They pointed out in detail why Qur'an is a dissimilar and totally unalike Text. Why Qur'an is completely a matchless Text to its all other sisters. On this very initial point of view, there are many studies that have firmly been done by many different scholars having speciality and full command over Arabic language and its discourse. In this study, the debate on this topic would be held scholarly around three major figures. Their opinions had a lot of multi-dimensional aspects in Arabic Rhetoric (stylistics).

Authors:   Jalal Dawar[1], Shakir Ullah[2], DOI: https://doi.org/10.37605/fahmiislam.v3i2.206

Abstract

Despite the vast research by scholars in the arena of Islamic banking, little is known about the rivalry between the management and Shari'ah scholars in attaining their objectives of profitability and Shari'ah compliance respectively. The managers look for financial value generation and the Religious Scholars guides and monitor them within the ambit of Shari'ah principles. Apparently, this collaboration of Managers and Religious Scholars sounds alright, but after a thorough investigation, it appears that both the parties' endeavors are different, rather opposite objectives. The purpose of this study is to investigate this vying of objectives in the advances departments of Islamic banks, using grounded theory methodology. With a motive to dissect this grapple of objectives in the advances departments of Islamic banks, data was collected from the employees and the customers of different Islamic banks through repeated interviews. The finding divulged that the tension between the two very important pillars of Islamic banks, i.e. the managers and the Shari'ah scholars can be clinched by lowering pressure on managers, enhancing employees training and development, ensuring frequent Shari'ah audits, increasing the number of Shari'ah auditors, and customers' awareness. This paper also concludes, in defiance of such measures, that each pillar of the Islamic bank will manage to wangle their ways into achieving their corresponding objectives. Consequently, the Managers may attempt to increase profits at the cost of Shari'ah compliance while the Shari'ah scholars may push for Shari'ah compliance at the expense of profitability.
