The ultimate goal of an education system is to produce a better citizen and create a better society. In this regard, it is the responsibility of state to design its education system on sound grounds. In Pakistan, there is dual education system, modern education system and traditional Madrasah system. Modern education system prepares its students on the bases of western education pattern while Maddris develop their students in the light of their own respective schools of thought. Thus, the two educational systems are producing two different categories of graduates, leading to imbalance and intodlerance in the society. To bridge this gap between the two systems and to make the education system harmonious, the government has passed “Pakistan Madrasa ‘h Education Board Ordinance ". Three model Maddris have been set up as a pilot project in Karachi and Sakkar for boys and in Islamabadfor girls. It was supposed to be extended in other cities as well but due to the reservations of Ulamd ' and their bitter opposition, the process did not get due attention among the public. In this paper, the authors will try to bring out the Ulamd’s reservations on "Pakistan Madrasah Education Board” in order to bringforth the policy suggestionsfor the betterment of the program.

According to the Prophetic injunction, thefasting in the month of Ramadan, end ofthefasting in that month, and determination of Eid al-Adha date should be based on moon sighting by at least two authentic persons. But due to advanced lunar movement calculations majority ofMuslim nations prefer the lunar calendar in determining dates ofRamadan and the two Islamic festivals, 6d al-Filr and Eid al-Adha. This article attempts to prove that pre-calculated lunar calendar cannot be the basis ofdetermining the dates of thefasting month and Islamic festive days; and the only Islamic way to begin fastingmonth andcelebratefestivedays is the moonsighting.

Islam is a Moderate Shariah. All its orders arefreefrom exaggeration. Islam gives relaxation in the man's natural instincts and desires and checks to cross such limits which are based on the Principles ofProhibition. That is why, on the one hand, man is stopped strictly to do any wrong act while on the other side it was necessary to provide the others suitable andfair ways for catharsis. Moreover, it is the requirement ofthe man's mental and Shariah need. That there should be a legitimate contact between man's and woman's relationship-it is called"Nikdh" in the light of the Holy Qura’n and the Hadis. In terms of Nikah it must complete authority to men and womenfor their likings and disliking and the guardians are strictlyforbidden to use enforcement and an the other side motivate both male andfemale that they should take their guardians in confidence while taking any step in this context.
Orientalists in general have tried to smear the authentically excellent image ofthe Last Prophet (s. a. w.) and the Qur'an in an effort to cast doubt about the reliability ofboth the Prophet (s. a. w.) as the Final Messenger of Allah and the Qur'an as the revealed words of Allah. Among other issues they have touchedanddwelt on one is what they allegedly refer to as Satanic Verses (praise ofgharEnEq [deities]) . Some Orientalists of20th century like Karen Armstrong, Montgomery Watt, and Maxime Rodinson have paidspecial attention to this issue in their respective works. The very objective of their approach to thisfalse story is to prove that the revelation of the Qur'an was not genuinely from Allah. They dishonestly ignored the very position ofthis incident asfabrication. Many renowned Muslim scholars like Al-Qurtabi, Al-Radi, QadiAyaz, andIbnal-’Arab i proved the story related to Satanic Verses as totally baseless. This article analyses Orientalists' views on theso calledSatanic Verses and concludes that Orientalistsfailed to maintain their objectivity in their description ofthe story.

The Qur'an serves as the basic source of Islamic laws. These laws encompass all gamut of human life. The Prophet (s. a. w.) applied certain principles in deriving legal rulings from the Qur'an. The Companions after him not only continued with the same principles but also expanded their scope. After them their disciples 4biyen) perfected" the principles of deriving legal rulings from the Qur'an. When the Muslim jurists (fuqala') came on the stage to play their role, the principles of deriving Islamic laws from the sacred source became more elaborate. This article introduces the contributions of the Last Prophet (s. a. w.) , the Companions, their disciples, and Muslim jurists toward the development of principles of how to derive legal rulings from the Qur'an.

This article seeks to highlight the contribution of some Muslim scholars in the contemporary period to the application of matpsid al-shari'ah as a principle ofijtihud

مصنف/مصنفین: اوج، محمد شکیل
In a situation of conflict or divorce between wife and
husband there generally arises the issue concerning the custody of child. Muslim scholars of Islamic law are not unanimous over who, father or mother, has the right to the custody of child. Some scholars are of the view that the mother has the right to the custody of the male child until he 7 year old, and that of the female one until her age of puberty provided that the mother does not get married to someone else. This article deals with the issue from the angle of child's welfare, and tries to come to the conclusion that if the child's welfare is taken care of by the father more than the mother, the father should be given the right to the child's custody, and vice versa.

Hadith (Prophetic Tradition) is classified by experts into a number ofcategoriesfrom various angles. The very basis ofthis classification is the chain (sanad or isnad) . One such category of Hadith is Gharib (strange) . It may be defined as hadith reported by only one reporter at almost all the stages of reporting including the period ofthe Prophet’s (s. a. w.) Companions. Like other categories ofsolitary hadith (ahad) , gharib may and may not be reliable, depending on the veracity of the chain of narrators. One reason that may render gharib hadith as unreliable is the unknown sources of narrators as available in the chain of narrators. This article attempts to discuss some infamous or unknown chains of reporters in reporting gharib hadith.

During the former era of the State of Bahawalpur theNawabs were in perpetual conflict with their relatives.

Author: Sultana, Khawar
Karen Armstrong is a well-known prolific writer on Christianity, Islam, and Prophet Muhammad. She appears in her writings very much objective. In her books on the Las Prophet (s. a. w.) “Muhammad: A Biography of The Prophet and “Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Times” she generally appears to be attempting, unlike many Orientalists, to creat soft image of the Last Prophet (s. a. w.) . Methodologically he works may be considered highly appreciable but from historical angle she seems to have distorted certain evidenc related to the Last Prophet (s. a. w.) . The basic reason for such lapse in her books is that she did not consult the original and basic authentic sources of Islamic history. This articl analyses where she faltered in her presentation of historica truths concerning the Last Prophet (s. a. w.) .

This article discusses how medical science supports the Qur’anic injunction on animals’ flesh and blood.
