description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This study examines the concept of human rights through a comparative analysis of Islamic teachings and other Semitic religious perspectives. Human rights, as a universal moral and social framework, have deep roots in religious traditions that shape ethical norms, social justice, and human dignity. The research explores foundational texts, theological principles, and moral frameworks within Islam and other Semitic religions to identify convergences and divergences in their understanding of fundamental rights. Special attention is given to themes such as human dignity, equality, justice, freedom, and social responsibility. By employing a qualitative and comparative methodology, the study highlights how religious teachings contribute to the formation of rights-based values and societal obligations. The findings suggest that while interpretive differences exist, these traditions share a common emphasis on the sanctity of human life and moral accountability. This comparative inquiry aims to foster interfaith understanding and demonstrate the continuing relevance of religious perspectives in contemporary human rights discourse. Ultimately, the study argues that integrating religious insights can enrich modern discussions on human rights and promote a more inclusive ethical framework.

type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This study examines the concept of prosodic circles (al-dawāʾir al-ʿarūḍiyyah) in Arabic prosody, with a particular focus on the Mujtalab Circle, which includes the poetic meters of al-Hazaj, al-Rajaz, and al-Ramal. The research aims to clarify the theoretical foundations of prosodic circles as developed by Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi, who introduced a systematic and innovative method for classifying Arabic poetic meters based on patterns of syllabic structure, including causes (asbāb) and pegs (awtād). The study highlights how these circles function as a structural framework that reveals the interrelationship between different poetic meters. Special attention is given to the Hazaj meter as the original form within the Mujtalab Circle, analyzing its rhythmic structure, patterns, and poetic usage. Furthermore, the research explores the prosodic variations, including zihāfāt (metrical modifications) and ʿilal (metrical defects), and their influence on the rhythmic flow of poetry. The methodology adopted in this study is descriptive and analytical, relying on the examination of classical examples to demonstrate theoretical concepts.The findings indicate that prosodic circles provide a coherent and systematic approach to understanding Arabic poetic rhythm. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating theoretical and applied approaches in teaching Arabic prosody. It concludes that the Mujtalab Circle plays a significant role in illustrating the flexibility and richness of Arabic poetic meters.

سُليك بن السُّلَكة الشاعر الصعلوك: حياته وتجربته الشعرية في ضوء الواقع الاجتماعي الجاهلي
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This research examines the life and poetry of Sulayk ibn al-Salaka, one of the most prominent (ṣaʿālīk) poets of the pre-Islamic period. It aims to shed light on the social and personal circumstances that led him to adopt the life of a ṣuʿlūk, particularly poverty, and racial discrimination. The study explores how these harsh conditions profoundly influenced his poetic experience and shaped the thematic and stylistic features of his poetry. Special attention is given to major themes such as hunger, poverty, endurance, self-reliance, and pride in personal dignity, as well as to the realistic and direct language that characterizes his verse. Furthermore, the study highlights Sulayk ibn al-Salaka’s literary position among the ṣaʿālīk poets, demonstrating how his poetry serves as an important social document that reflects the realities of marginalized groups in pre-Islamic Arabian society. Through this analysis, the study explores the human and artistic value of Sulayk’s poetic legacy within the broader framework of early Arabic literature.

Scientific Atheism and the Problem of Divine Authority: A Historical–Philosophical Study of Theological Perspectives
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This study explores the intellectual conflict between scientific atheism and the concept of divine authority with description of Quranic theology. The aim of this article is to study the philosophical foundations of modern atheistic thought and to evaluate its claims in the light of the Quranic understanding of divine authority. The research adopts a historical-philosophical and analytical method, focusing on the development of scientific rationalism and the Quranic presentation of divine authority as an ultimate source of knowledge. The study argues that scientific atheism is primarily based on empirical methodology, which is limited in addressing metaphysical and existential questions, whereas the Quran establishes a comprehensive epistemological framework that integrates meaning, purpose and hope in human life. It is concluded that the tension between scientific atheism and Quranic theology emerges not merely from scientific discoveries but from the overlapping of their respective domains.

Eco-Sunnah and the Contemporary Ecological Crisis: An Analytical Study in the Light of the Prophetic Seerah ﷺ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array The contemporary world is facing a multi-dimensional ecological crisis, manifested through catastrophic floods, industrial waste, noise pollution, and the loss of biodiversity. This research investigates the 'Eco-Sunnah' framework—environmental ethics derived from the Prophetic Seerah—as a sustainable solution to these modern challenges. The primary research problem addresses the moral and spiritual void in current environmental policies, which often fail to curb industrial excesses and resource mismanagement. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Prophetic teachings on cleanliness (Taharah), water conservation, and the ethical treatment of animals can be systematically adapted into a modern environmental governance model. Employing a descriptive and analytical methodology, the study draws upon the Qur’an and authentic Hadith to identify core principles such as stewardship (Khilafah), balance (Mizan), and the sanctity of all life. Findings indicate that the Prophetic models of Hima (protected zones) and Harim (buffer zones) provide practical strategies for flood management and urban planning. Furthermore, the study highlights that integrating the Sunnah of moderation (Iqtisad) is essential for mitigating industrial and noise pollution, which the Qur’an describes as Fasad (corruption on earth). The research contributes to the field by bridging the gap between spiritual ethics and technical implementation, offering a holistic 'Eco-Sunnah' framework for global sustainability. It concludes that the adoption of these Prophetic principles is vital for fostering individual responsibility and institutional resilience in the face of rapid environmental change.

اسلام کے ابتدائی عہد میں خواتین کی معاشی شرکت: سیرتِ نبوی ﷺ اور عہدِ صحابہؓ کی روشنی میں ایک تحقیقی و تجزیاتی مطالعہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array The economic involvement of women in early Islam is discussed in this research paper by referring to the practical examples of the life of Rasulullah ﷺ and the supportive role of the Sahaba (RA). It also emphasises the fact that Islam gave women the right to own property, conduct businesses and trade in a dignified and Shariah compliant way. The paper examines the important individuals like Sayyidah Khadijah (RA) who was a successful businesswoman and other Sahabiyat (RA) who were involved in trade, education, agriculture, and healthcare. Particular attention has been given to the way the Prophet ﷺ motivated them to contribute and at the same time remained modest, family-responsible and morally modest. The contribution of Sahaba (RA), including Abu Bakr (RA), Umar (RA), and Abdur Rahman bin Auf (RA), to the economic activity of women is also discussed. Through the comparison of these practices with the current Muslim communities, this paper will demonstrate how the prophetic guidance is a balanced system that allows women to work, earn, and play a role in society without jeopardizing Islamic values. This paper concludes that women economic empowerment in the Muslim faith is not a new phenomenon but a tradition of prophetical backing of the Sahaba (RA).

قرآنِ مجید میں علمِ نباتات: اساسی تصورات، سائنسی اطلاقات اور اسلوبِ اشارات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array The Holy Quran is not just a religious book but an eternal manifesto inviting contemplation and reflection on the universe. It repeatedly mentions plants, which have been seen in a purely symbolic or historical context. The main objective of this research paper is to analyses the botanical phenomena mentioned in the Holy Quran in the light of modern science, especially botany, agriculture and ecology. The initial part is concerned with lexical discussions and basic concepts, in which the mention of plants in the Quran is examined in the context of the historical and scientific definition of botany. Then, a detailed scientific examination of specific fruits (grapes, olives, dates, pomegranates, figs), grains and vegetables mentioned in the Quran is undertaken, where in the light of modern research, their nutritional and medical benefits are found to be consistent with the indications of the Quran. In the third chapter, the principles of the hydrological cycle, agroforestry and ecological balance hidden in the Quranic statements are examined. Research proves that the Quran’s descriptions of plant reproduction (in pairs), the stages of fruit ripening, the revival of barren land through rain, and the diversity of Flavors of fruits despite the same amount of water are fully consistent with modern scientific discoveries. This allegorical style of the Quran is beyond human knowledge of the seventh century AD and is proof that it is the word of the Creator of the universe.

Qur’anic Ethics for Peacebuilding: An Islamic Counter-Narrative to Religious Extremism in Pakistan
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array The expansion of religious extremism in Pakistan entails an intricate reaction of sectarian polarization, religious politicization, geopolitical conflict, educational fragmentation, and the selective misuse of Islamic texts. Since extremist actors often use the Qur’an to identify the reasons to commit violence, exclusion, and takfīr, such positive actions should not avoid interacting with Islamic sources but act to address them. This paper claims that the Qur’an does include a consistent peacebuilding ethic that can be used as an Islamic counter-virality to religious extremism in Pakistan. The article presents justice, reconciliation, mercy, forgiveness, restraint, consultation, and human dignity as the principal Qur’anic principles applicable to counter-extremist efforts through a qualitative design that relies on textual analysis of the major themes of the Qur’an, discourse analysis of the lecture and writing of Pakistani Islamic scholars, and their public discourse. It also reveals that mainstream Pakistani scholars of various orientations generally oppose terrorism, have a negative stance on the unjustifiable violence, and advocate contextualized understandings of jihad and anti-takfīr discourse. The article concludes that Qur’anic ethics can reinforce the counter-extremism agenda in Pakistan when strategized in education, discourse in mosques, communal peace building, and mass policy. By bridging Islamic scripture, religious authority, and the modern needs of peace building, this study adds to the literature on religion and violence, Islamic ethics, and culturally based counter-extremism.

description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This study examines the literary and artistic aspects reflected in Anwar al-Furqan, a translation of the meanings of the Holy Qur'an by Abdul Hakeem Sharaf Qadri, a distinguished Pakistani scholar and bilingual poet who made significant contributions to Islamic scholarship and research methodology. He is recognized among those intellectual figures who helped shape modern Islamic studies through their writings and translations in both Urdu and Arabic.The research analyzes the translator’s effort to convey the aesthetic, rhetorical, and stylistic qualities of the Qur'anic text while presenting its meanings in a clear and accessible language for readers. The Holy Qur'an, revealed to the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (peace be upon him), possesses a unique linguistic and rhetorical miracle that cannot be fully reproduced in any translation. Nevertheless, translators attempt to transmit its meanings while preserving, as far as possible, the beauty and eloquence of the original discourse This paper highlights the literary elegance, artistic imagery, and expressive clarity present in Anwar al-Furqan. It further examines the translator’s methodology, linguistic choices, and stylistic approach. Through selected examples, the study demonstrates how the translation strives to maintain semantic accuracy while reflecting the rhetorical richness and spiritual depth of the Qur'anic message.

امام فخرالدین رازی کے اعتقادی مباحث میں فلسفہ اور علمِ کلام سے استفادہ: ایک تحقیقی مطالعہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array Imam Razi included reason, philosophy, and theology as sources of knowledge for the “Marifah” of Allah, along with the Quran and Hadith. He believed that in order to attain truth and justice, it is useful to utilize the rational arts along with the transmitted sciences, however, in terms of importance and prestige, the Holy Quran has superiority and distinction over other sciences. Some scholars did not like Imam Razi's critical style and methodology, but they did not consider him to be excluded from the “Ahlus-Sunnah” because he had always been associated with the “Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah”. Therefore, Imam Razi presented scholarly criticisms of the thoughts and beliefs of the false sects and religions of his time. In these criticisms, Imam Razi presented all kinds of arguments, both authentic and reasonable. Based on some of his quotes, it has been attempted to claim that perhaps in the latter part of his life he had turned to the problems of philosophy and theology that are mentioned in his works. But in reality this did not happen. He continued to promote these debates throughout his life because he believed that his scholarly position and status were high enough to reach the level of certainty.

حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہ سے متعلق تحدیدِ حق مہر کی روایت: سنداور متن کا تحقیقی مطالعہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This research article critically examines the well-known narration attributed to Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (RA) regarding the limitation of mahr (dower). Certain groups have used this report to question his juristic understanding; therefore, this study focuses on evaluating the authenticity of the narration through a detailed analysis of its chain of transmission (sanad) and textual content (matan). By reviewing the opinions of classical scholars of hadith and examining the reliability of the narrators, the study demonstrates that the narration suffers from weaknesses such as disconnection in the chain and unreliable transmitters, which render it academically questionable. The article further clarifies the scholarly responses to the objections raised on the basis of this report and highlights that such weak narrations cannot be used to cast doubt on the personality and juristic authority of Hazrat Umar (RA). Ultimately, the study contributes to a clearer understanding of the issue by presenting a balanced scholarly evaluation of the narration.

Furthermore, in this study, the researchers have assumed that Hofstede's cultural dimensions, such as power distance, individualism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance, are inherent to Islamic culture. A survey was conducted among the managers of 280 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopting Islamic culture in Lahore, Pakistan. The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS. Moreover, the results indicate that Islamic culture is positively and statistically significantly associated with product innovation and firm performance. However, the cultural aspects of masculinity do not show any significant relationship with innovation outcomes, reflecting the balanced and ethical orientation emphasized in Islamic teachings. Furthermore, product innovation in Pakistan's SME's sector plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between Islamic cultural principles and firm performance. The results indicate that organizations operating in the light of Islamic ethical values can improve performance by promoting innovation in accordance with Islamic principles. Although previous literature has recognized national culture as a determinant of organizational performance, empirical evidence linking Islamic cultural principles with innovation and performance is particularly limited in the Pakistani context. This study provides empirical insights into Islamic management and business research into how innovation mechanisms transform Islamic cultural values into enhanced organizational performance.

سیرت النبیﷺ كی روشنی میں اسلامی معیشت كے اصولوں پر ایك تحقیقی جائزہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array Islam is a comprehensive and complete way of life that provides guidance for all aspects of human existence, including religious, social, political, and economic affairs. The economic system, in particular, plays a vital role in shaping human life, as it directly affects social stability, justice, and overall well-being. Throughout history, economic injustice, exploitation, and inequality have remained major challenges for human societies. The Islamic economic system is founded on the principles of justice, balance, and moral responsibility. The practical and most authentic model of this system is found in the Seerah (life) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Through his teachings and actions, the Prophet ﷺ established an economic framework that aimed not merely at wealth accumulation, but at the preservation of human dignity, elimination of exploitation, and establishment of social justice. Before the advent of Islam, Arabian society was dominated by unjust economic practices such as usury (interest), fraud, hoarding, and exploitation of the poor. The Prophet ﷺ reformed this system by abolishing interest-based transactions, prohibiting dishonesty in trade, and promoting fairness and transparency in all financial dealings. These reforms laid the foundation of a moral and equitable economic order. After the establishment of the Islamic state in Madinah, the Prophet ﷺ practically implemented Islamic economic principles. The institution of Bayt al-Mal, the organized system of Zakat, regulation of markets, and protection of the rights of workers and traders clearly demonstrate that Islamic economics is not merely a theoretical concept, but a practical and applicable system. The primary objective of Islamic economics, as reflected in the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ, is to maintain a balance between individual rights and collective welfare. Wealth is encouraged to circulate within society rather than being concentrated in the hands of a few. Th…

حرکتِ معنا در کالبدِ لفظ: سنجشِ تطبیقیِ مثنویِ معنوی و تفسیرِ قرآنی — ایک لسانی و عرفانی تجزیہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This paper presents a comparative study of Rumi’s Mathnawi and Ismail Haqqi’s Tafsir Ruh al-Bayan, focusing on the dynamic movement of meaning within linguistic form. It argues that both texts conceive meaning as a living process that unfolds through narrative, symbolism, and spiritual commentary. By analyzing thematic parallels and interpretive strategies, the study shows how poetic and exegetical discourses converge in their treatment of divine revelation and spiritual insight. The Mathnawi employs storytelling and metaphor to animate meaning, while Ruh al-Bayan integrates mystical interpretation within Qur’anic exegesis. Together, they illustrate a shared hermeneutical vision in which words serve as vessels for spiritual transformation. This research contributes to comparative studies of Sufi literature and Qur’anic interpretation.

نبی ﷺ کا اندازِ گفتگو : ایک علمی و تحقیقی جائزہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array Effective communication plays a central role in shaping human relationships, social harmony, and moral development. In Islamic teachings, communication is not merely a tool for conveying information but a moral and ethical responsibility. This research paper explores the communication style of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a comprehensive and exemplary model of human interaction. The study aims to analyze the fundamental characteristics of the Prophet’s mode of conversation, including clarity, simplicity, brevity, politeness, emotional intelligence, and respect for listeners, as derived from the Quran, Hadith and authentic Seerah literature. Using a qualitative and analytical research approach, the paper examines classical Islamic sources alongside contemporary academic studies on prophetic communication. The findings indicate that the Prophet’s communication was audience-centered, context-aware, and ethically grounded, ensuring that messages were easily understood and deeply internalized. His use of concise yet meaningful language, repetition for emphasis, gentle tone, and respectful engagement significantly enhanced the effectiveness of his message delivery. Furthermore, the study highlights the relevance of the Prophet’s communication principles in the modern era, particularly in education, leadership, media, and interpersonal relations. The research concludes that adopting prophetic communication ethics can contribute to more constructive dialogue, conflict resolution, and social cohesion in contemporary societies. This paper recommends the integration of prophetic communication principles into modern communication studies and professional training programs to promote ethical and effective human interaction.

برصغیر کی دینی فکری روایت میں خواجہ غلام مرتضیٰؒ کا بصیرت افروز کردار: مصادر، مناہج اور نتائج
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array Maulana Hafiz Ghulam Murtaza (1251 AH / 1835 AD to 1321 AH / 1903 AD) was a leading scholar of the 19th century. He spent his whole life acquiring and then spreading knowledge among his people. The end of the thirteenth century AH and the beginning of the fourteenth century AH was his era span. It was very difficult time for the Muslims of the subcontinent. This turbulent period saw many revolutions. There was a lack of political and religious leadership for Muslims as a whole. There were no standard educational institutions for Muslims, and Muslims in general had excluded education from their priorities. They were satisfied with their ignorance. Especially after the War of Independence of 1857, Muslims suffered a complete decline. Hafiz Ghulam Murtaza lit the candle of knowledge in a remote area of ​​Punjab in subcontinent where human beings were suffering from the double bondage of feudalism and ignorance, the rays of which, after a century and a half, are still illuminating an era. The article under review gives a brief overview of the scholarly and religious services of this religious and visionary scholar. The purpose of this article is to make the world aware of the fact that there are such bright lights of knowledge and spirituality under the banner of Islam, that even a thousand glooms of ignorance together cannot face a ray of their knowledge.

رواداری سیرت النبی ﷺ اور تاریخ کے آئینے میں
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array The challenge of intolerance has surfaced as a significant concern for the Muslim Ummah, leading to various social and ideological issues. Islam actively discourages intolerance, advocating for patience, forbearance, and mutual respect. The teachings of Islam promote tolerance while denouncing extremism, radicalism, and inflexibility in all its forms. Although Islam permits intellectual and ideological differences, it firmly prohibits hostility, hatred, and conflict arising from such differences. At its core, true tolerance means that individuals can live together harmoniously, regardless of their beliefs, race, color, language, or nationality, without succumbing to prejudice or discrimination. It emphasizes the importance of respecting others' rights and avoiding animosity towards those of different faiths and ideologies, even if one does not agree with their beliefs. Tolerance is a refined hallmark of civilization and a noble facet of human culture — a divine gift to humanity. A closer look at Islamic teachings shows that Islam not only advocates for tolerance but also serves as its leading champion. The Qur’an clearly states: “There is no compulsion in religion; truth stands out clear from error.”(Al-Baqarah 2:256) Likewise, the Seerah (biography) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ showcases remarkable examples of tolerance and compassion towards non-Muslims and adversaries. The Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafā’ al-Rāshidīn) also embodied these principles, setting shining examples of tolerance that have been etched in history. This research paper offers a thorough analytical exploration of tolerance through the lens of the Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and historical contexts, highlighting Islam’s universal message of peace, coexistence, and mutual respect.

مقاصدِ شریعت کی روشنی میں طبی اخلاقیات کا عملی نفاذ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This article explores the practical relevance of medical ethics within the framework of the higher objectives of Shariah (Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah). Medical ethics guide physicians in adopting morally responsible conduct, particularly in an era marked by materialism, diminishing spiritual values, and the inability of modern medicine to address several emerging ethical challenges. In Islam, the ethical foundation of medical practice is deeply rooted in five essential objectives: protection of religion, life, progeny, intellect, and wealth. Any medical procedure that upholds these objectives is considered ethical, whereas actions that violate them are deemed impermissible. Given that the medical profession is directly connected with safeguarding human life, physicians bear significant responsibilities including compassion, patience, confidentiality, social welfare, professional competence, and sincere service. The rising prevalence of diseases such as AIDS, COVID-19, and other infectious illnesses has increased the need for qualified medical practitioners. Therefore, the proper application of medical ethics is crucial for preventing negligence and ensuring professional accountability. This study highlights the importance of integrating Shariah-based ethical principles into contemporary medical issues, particularly in light of rapid technological advancements, social changes, and newly emerging biomedical challenges.

اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں گداگری کے انسداد کا تحقیقی جائزہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This study explores the phenomenon of beggary through the lens of Islamic teachings while highlighting practical and constructive approaches for its prevention. Beggary has become an increasingly visible social problem that not only disturbs public spaces but also erodes human dignity and weakens the moral and economic foundations of society. Islamic teachings place strong emphasis on self-reliance, lawful earning, and maintaining personal honor. The Qur’an and Sunnah discourage unnecessary or habitual begging, urging individuals instead to work, contribute to their communities, and uphold social harmony. The research examines the Islamic mechanisms that offer long-term solutions to poverty, such as zakat, sadaqah, waqf, and various forms of social support systems that help eliminate the root causes of beggary. These charitable institutions promote economic stability and ensure equitable distribution of resources within society. Moreover, the study stresses the importance of governmental policies, public awareness, and structured rehabilitation programs aimed at equipping beggars with the skills and opportunities necessary for a dignified livelihood. By combining classical Islamic principles with contemporary social strategies, this research presents a holistic framework for reducing beggary and fostering a more responsible, compassionate, and self-sufficient society.

Values-Based Organizational Resilience: A Qur’an-Informed Multi-Level Framework Integrating Leadership, Ethics, and Employee Behavioral Mechanisms
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This study develops an integrative Qur’an-informed model of organizational resilience by systematically aligning leadership and employee instructions derived from primary Qur’anic verses with contemporary theories in strategic management, leadership, and human resource management. Drawing on stewardship theory, ethical and transformational leadership, organizational justice, social learning, and the resource-based view, the model conceptualizes resilience as a multilevel outcome emerging from prudent financial governance, humane people management, exemplary role modeling, emotional regulation, and disciplined performance. At the leadership level, practices such as financial stewardship, due care, ethical workforce separation, patience, and equitable treatment cultivate trust, psychological safety, and adaptive capacity. At the employee level, commitment, humility, emotional self-regulation, learning from errors, and consistent high performance function as behavioral mechanisms that reinforce individual and collective resilience. By bridging Qur’anic primary sources with established management theories, this study advances a novel, values-based framework that extends resilience scholarship beyond conventional secular models and offers a theoretically grounded, ethically robust, and practically actionable approach to sustaining organizational performance and competitive advantage under conditions of uncertainty.

The Djenné Mosque: Form, Function and Architecture
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array The article offers an in-depth typological study of the iconic mosque located in Djenné, Mali, the heart of West Africa. The study aims to investigate the architectural typology and universal forms used in mosque construction, highlighting its historical evolution, cultural relevance, and lasting architectural traditions. The study traces the evolution of mosque architecture in Djenné over the centuries, its form and functions. It illustrates the innovative adaptation of local materials and construction methods in crafting remarkable edifices. In addition, this study examines the cultural and social dimensions of the Djenné mosque while showcasing its role as a symbol of cultural identity and community cohesion. Qualitative research method has been employed to explore the influence of local culture on mosque architecture. The study utilized document analysis of existing literature along with the theoretical framework provided by Nader Ardalan in his work “The Visual Language of Symbolic Form: A Preliminary Study of Mosque Architecture” to uncover the nuances of how regional and cultural factors shape the architectural form and spatial organization. Moreover, the generic forms and principles of spatial organization described by Nader Ardalan have been analyzed in the context of Djenné mosque. The research concludes that the interplay between universal architectural forms and regional cultural influences is a fascinating aspect of Islamic architecture. While certain essential elements are common across the Muslim world, the ways in which these components are adapted and interpreted can vary significantly based on local contexts. This dynamic is particularly evident in the Djenné Mosque. Despite adhering to the general typology of a trabeated mosque, it exhibits several unique features and improvisations that are reflective of the local Sudano-Sahelian culture such as the building’s mud-brick structure, small oculi piercing the …

تفسیرِ قرآن میں تفکّر و تدبّر کے اصول: ایک تحقیقی مطالعہ
type: item
description: Section: Research Papers Keywords: Array This research study examines the foundational principles of tafakkur (reflection) and tadabbur (deep contemplation) in the interpretation of the Holy Qur’an, emphasizing their essential role in achieving a balanced, authentic, and methodologically sound understanding of the divine text. While the Qur’an repeatedly urges believers to reflect upon its verses, this study argues that such contemplation is neither unrestricted nor purely subjective; rather, it must operate within a well-defined scholarly framework rooted in the Qur’an itself, the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, the understanding of the Companions, Arabic linguistics, context, and established principles of tafsīr. The article critically analyzes contemporary trends that either excessively restrict Qur’anic reflection to specialists alone or, conversely, promote unregulated personal interpretations detached from classical methodology. By surveying classical and modern scholarly approaches, the study clarifies the legitimate scope, limits, and objectives of reflective interpretation, highlighting the dangers of intellectual deviation arising from non-principled exegesis. Ultimately, the research demonstrates that disciplined tafakkur and tadabbur are indispensable for preserving the Qur’an’s theological integrity, intellectual coherence, and practical guidance, while ensuring that interpretation remains aligned with the objectives of divine revelation and the welfare of the Muslim Ummah.
