منو دھرم شاستر اور ہندو نظام میراث
مصنف/مصنفین: احمد، رشاد، مرسل فرمان
It is said that “Mony makes the mare go ” and it is so because AH’ah Subhdn-au-Taa’la Has willed it so. Wealth is thus, a great blessing and a means of great trialfor man at the same time. It isutility and worth-no matter how a man may amass wealth- is restricted to this world alone. A man enters into the world hereafter-empty handedly. All his treasured troves of gold and silver are bequeathed to his loved ones after his demise. Had there been no proper mechanism or a modus-oerandifor the division of this left-over money/inheritance then violence and bloody feuds would have sparked amongst the heirs. Hence wefind that almost all religions offer guidelines for the division of ( bequeathed mony or) wealth and valuables left after the death of a person. So is the case of Hindu religion. The purpose of this article is to focus, assess and analyze the Hindu system of inheritance-as to how to disperse the left-over wealth amongest theclosest relatives ofthe deceease

مشہور مصادر سیرت كے اسالیب كا علمی جائزہ
مصنف/مصنفین: خان، محمد عالم، ظفر حسین
Some famous books ofSeerah and Maghazi have been discussed in the given article. The important thing in the distinguished status of these books is the non availability of their sources (Masadar) . The reasonfor its being unauathoritative is that early writers ofSeerah are mostly Tabaeen and Taba Tabeen. They did not refer to the original source (Masdar) because in those days the events ofSeerah were verbally narrated and directly listened. Special gathering and sittings, regarding Seerah were arranged in Masajids. Only those writers of Seerah have mentioned the sources (Masadar) , who had deep knowledge of Hadith; others have recorded different events ofSeerah in their books, without any scrutiny and investigation. This caused the penetration of certain invalid events in this fields, which hasve been strongly objected by the non Muslim scholars in their books.

Hijri & had been completed in 1349 Hijri i. e in 1931. This work was completed in 36 years. First volume ofthis tafseer was published in the life time ofSir Syed Ahmed Khan, but also it was sent to him. That's why in its early volumes, there were so many answers in response to Sir Syed's thoughts. It is worth mentioning that Moulana Amratsari has responded in a good manner to Sir Syed. Moulana was affiliated with the sect of Ahle-Hadees but after attaining the education from different institutions several ofsects like, Darul Uloom Deoband Madarsa-e-Kanpur, (i. e Deobandi & Brailvi) , Moulana had been freedfrom any single sect. He is known as a scholar of Islam, this tafseer is a witness of it. The Style & method of writing Tafseer is very unique that is why its style was adopted by a known scholar, Moulana Ashraf Ali thanvi and Moulana Abdul Qadeer Siddiqi's translation was also inspired by it.

مسلم عائلی قوانین سے متعلق فقہاء پاكستان كی آراء
مصنف/مصنفین: اچکزئی، محمد عبد العلی، حافظ صالح الدین
For all laws, rules and regulations including family laws, the main sources ofderivation are the Holly Quran and Sunnah. In Islamic terminology, all of the above rules of conduct, sofor expressed are called shari'ah. Not only laws related to family code or rituals are derivedfrom the same sources, rather all economic, political and social rules and regulations are also derivedfrom these Fundamentals ofIslamic Shari'ah. In an Islamic Society, family holds an important position like an institution. All the members of the family including women, as mothers, sisters, daughters or wives can play their role in various capacities. The most important points in family matters are related to marriage, divorce, Iddat, Raza'at, Hibba and inheritance, etc. keeping in view the emerging scenario and contemperory issues, this article discusses the problems related with family matters, particularly the issues of monogamy (marriage with one woman) and bigamy (Marriage with two women) . These laws compiled in the muslim family laws of Ordinance 1961, are critically analyzed by the renown scholars of Pakistan in this paper.
This paper describes that if we want to know about poetry we must understand that out of context we can never arrive at our destination. The Quran should be read and understood in totality of its message and spirit. Its verses are local and universal. Some verses are in local environments but leave universal and eternal message. The verses ofSura'h Yasin and Sura'h Najm related to poetry clearly exhibit the truth that God rejected the claim of the infidels who regarded the Quran as the book of poetry and Prophet Mohammad as a poet. The poets in general are not condemned in Sura Yasin. It is an apt reply to the infidels that the Quran is a messagefrom God with a serious mission and motto. The Holy Prophet used to ask people to recite the holy poetry of Hazrat Abu Talib. Hassan bin Sabit used to recite "Naat" in the presence of the Prophet. Hazrat Ali was also a poet. They enhanced the divine mission of the prophets through theirfacile pen and noble spirit. Hence in the light ofabove brief dissertation we can profess that Islam does not oppose poetry ifit is written on didactic and divine lines.
The main Focus of Islam is to promote a healthy social setup. It is evident that a healthy society is a structure andframework of individuals' peaceful interactions. If the individuals are ofgood character with sound personalities, the society becomes a symbol of happiness and tranquility. It is clear that individuals face different situations in daily life and the way these matters are dealt with, depict the emotional aspect of their personality. Islam neither promotes ascetism nor it advocates to become materialistic, rather it strengthens a harmony between the spiritual and material needs. The balanced emotional expressions not only furnish a positive personality but also lead the individual to real success and salvation in this life and in the life hereafter. This article is an effort to identify the dimensions of different emotions, so that the negative emotional trends at individual or social level should not disturb the balance of the community life. (Note: Main components of the development of the personality are reffered as cognitive, behavioral, and Emotional. Thefirst two components have been discussed in Issue No. 19th / 2008, whereas the Emotional components are being discussed in this Article.)

The personality who got the honour of writing on Hadith with intellectual evidence and deep research pattern was Dr. Hameed Ullah. Dr. Hameed Ullah proved with research that the work of compilation of Hadith started in the era of the Prophet (PBUH) and that of his companions (RA) . It further expended in the era ofthe disciples ofthe Prophet's companions. This basic service ofHadith by these people strengthens the rule that compilation of Hadith was started in Prophet's era. The documents of the Prophet's regign and those of his companions and their disciples prove it that latter is sufficient reply to reject the claims of those who don't trust in Hadith and those of the Orientialists that the writing of Hadith is the phenomenon two

An Introduction to Islamic Modes of Financing for Elimination of Interest Based Transactions in Banking Sector of Pakistan
Author: Ahmad, Rashid, Ata ur Rahman
The Economic system ofIslam is very balanced one. Islam does not deprive a person to take benefit of all halal (permissible) things, while it has banned all illegal means of earning like deceit, corruption, gambling, etc. Among all evils, interest/usury is the worst form of earning and those who are involved in transactions based on it, they have been threatened with hell. While on the other hand, in most banks and other financial institutions, transactions are carried out on the basis ofinterest. This is why Muslim scholars worked out alternative modes based on Islamic financing to replace interest-based transactions. In this article six modes of financing i. e. Musharakah. , Mudharabah, Murabahah, Ijarah, Salam and Istisnah have been discussed. If these Islamic inodes of financing are adopted in banking sector and in otherfinancial institutions, then it is hoped that in a very short span of time elimination ofriba would be possible.
Zakat on Non-Agricultural Land Plots: Public Awareness and Fiscal Reforms
Author: Farooq, Muhammad, Naila Nazir
Zakat is although a compulsory obligation in Islam but is not paid compulsorily by the people. There are two main reasons; one is the ignorance about many things on which zakat is due, for example non-agricultural land and commercial plots etc. andsecond, ignorance about the mechanism through which it is paid. Thefirst aspect is related to public awareness and second aspect is related to the fiscal policy being enforced by the government collecting property and wealth taxes thus putting heavyfinancial pressure on the owners of real estate so as to compel them to avoid zakat andpay taxes. The paper explores the level of awareness among the general public about the payment ofzakat on non-agricultural land. Itfurther addresses the question that how the existing revenue structure need to be changed. For thefirst aspect, primary data with n=33 has been collected from the capital city of the province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. For the second aspect the revenue structure of the government is reviewed tofind out the number of taxes on the possession, sale and purchase of commercial or nonagricultural land plots. Since taxes are in no way a substitute of zakat so it is further explored that if the existing taxes are replaced and zakat system would be properly enforced then how much is the net return. In order to estimate this net return, an interview has been conducted from the property dealers and also the figures are taken from government accounts to calculate a sample for the study area that is then generalized for the government returns at large. The results of the study show a high level ofignorance about zakat obligation on plots in the study area. The verdicts of the Islamic scholars also create difference of opinion, however, majority have approved the case in favor of payment. Since there is ignorance and people have to pay taxes so they avoid zakat and just pay taxes. A mechanism is needed for fiscal reforms to ensure the payment of zakat and to stop its substitution against taxes on land plots.

Author: Islam, Fakhr ul, Muhammad Iqbal
After the creation of Pakistan the most important task was the making ofconstitution. There were many hurdles in the way of constitution making. The status ofIslam in the state affairs was one among them. During the Pakistan movement the name of Islam was excessively used. But when the country was created the westernized leadership of Muslim League started lobbying to make Pakistan a secular state. The Ulama roused to the occasion and demanded Islamic constitution. It was known to them in advance that westernized intelligentsia will separate state and religionfrom each other. Maulana Maudoodi among the religious intelligentsia played an active role in Islamizing the constitution. He rendered remarkable services for this purpose. The paper is an attempt to highlight valuable services ofMaulana Maudoodi briefly andconcisely. Key Words: Pakistan, Islam, Constitution, Westernized Leadership, Ulama, Maulana Maudoodi.

Author: Saleem, Muhammad Tahir
The paper discusses the needfor translating the Qur 'an in other languages, particularly English into meet today's needs. It points out the difficulties and pitfalls encounted in translating the Untranslatable Word of Allah - the Qur 'an. The it reviews critically various version of the English translations of the Qur'an, both by non-Muslim and Muslims. While English translations of the Qur 'an were embarked upon in Latin and Frenchfrom the 16, h century onwards, it was only in 1649 that thefirst English versionfrom French appeared. It wasfollowed by translations from the original Qur'anic text in the 18"' and 1 9lh century. However, Muslims embarked on translations only in the 2tfh century, and a number of versions have appeared so far. They have been critically examined, with concrete examples from the Qur 'anic verses to show their strengths and weaknesses. In the final analysis no one meets the ideal translations and there is a need to take up the task afresh.
