Broken Laws, Broken Lives: When Organized Crime Shreds Human Rights

Aftab Haider, Ashraf Ali, Bushra Zeb — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

History is marked by its coiling snake, organized crime that continues to entwine itself around human rights choking out dignity and justice. This paper reveals the hard truth of this destructive bond, from its historical origins to its modern incarnations. Powered by poverty, poor governance and digital frontiers the criminal network uses human weaknesses as pawns in their illicit games. The fundamental rights of individuals and communities is eroded by trafficking, extortion, violence, and corruption which are their currency. Women, children and minority groups are often the victims who get trapped in forced labor, exploitation and displacement. Case studies depict a rather gloomy picture of this complex threat. The porous borders of Southeast Asia take up human trafficking, while the drugs in Latin America become a stream of violence and corruption that breaks communities and trample dignity. Not even the digital world is immune, where cybercrime and identity theft take away privacy and liberty. As the roots of this crisis are woven into a complex network of socio-economic disparities, lax legal frameworks and corrupt structures. Their effects are far-reaching, reaching deep into the society Fighting back demands a broad attack. The first steps should be strengthening the legal framework, empowering law enforcement, and addressing underlying injustices. International cooperation and creating a culture of transparency and accountability are important weapons in this war. It requires constant vigilance, relentless quest for justice and strong communities that are resilient in the face of organized crime. Only then can we escape the darkness and enter into true human rights.

Ghulam Abbas, Altaf Hussain (Corresponding Author), Muhammad Bashir — Sat, 24 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The goal of this study is to categorize solely the consonants (velars) of the Balti language, which is spoken in Pakistan's Baltistan area of Gilgit Baltistan. The Balti language was chosen for the study because it is one of the less well-known languages in Pakistan and because there has never been any substantial research done on the language's sounds or sound system.120 distinct words from various Balti novels were chosen in order to categorize Balti sounds. Using the program PRAAT, the acoustic analysis of Balti consonants has been examined to demonstrate their physical characteristics. In order to capture samples of various Balti consonant sounds, the investigators identified 20 indigenous Balti speakers, aged 16 to 35, enrolled in State College for Boys in Model Town and University of Technology and Management, Lahore, Pakistan. Spectrophotograms representing each sound were used to display the physical characteristics of the native Balti speakers' sound samples. The Balti language has ten fricative sounds, according to acoustic examinations of consonant sounds.

Sania Fatima, Ms Habiba Tariq, Baneeha Zainab, Mishal Zoha — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study explores the nexus between personality traits and work-life balance, with a focus on the intermediary role of work-family conflict. The research, quantitative in nature, employs a correlational design, using instruments such as the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) and Work and Family Conflict Scales (WAFCS) to assess a sample of 200 salespersons in Gujranwala, Pakistan. Key personality traits examined include extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience. Results reveal a significant negative correlation between several personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) and work-family conflict, and a positive correlation between extraversion and emotional stability with work-life balance. Openness to experience, however, does not significantly predict work-life balance outcomes. Work-family conflict is found to have a substantial negative impact on work-life balance and serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between certain personality traits and work-life balance.

The study underscores the critical influence of personality traits on the work-life balance equation and the mediating role of work-family conflict. It suggests that a better understanding of these relationships can aid organizations in tailoring interventions and support systems to individual employee needs, enhancing both personal well-being and organizational productivity. study's implications extend to the realm of human resource policies and practices, emphasizing the importance of considering personality dimensions in work-life balance initiatives. However, the research's correlational nature and its focus on a specific professional group in a singular geographic locale highlight the need for further, more diverse studies to broaden the generalizability of these findings.

Anisa Fatima, Saqlain Hassan, Samsam Zulqarnain — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The present study seeks to expose how Balti society has discursively constructed gender roles by translating proverbs. It examines how gender ideology affects translation processes and techniques the translator employs when translating proverbs. The research analyzes 14 proverbs responsible for gender dichotomy, selected from the book “Tam Lo” by Hasni (2004). Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis has been taken as a research perspective used in this study. For research methodology, Farahzad's Model (2009) of Translation Criticism has been utilized by the researchers in the current study. The findings reveal that in Balti androcentric society, women are viewed as unable, reliant, dependent, submissive, fractious, unfaithful, rude, sentimental, deceitful, deceptive, crafty, dim-witted, and unreliable in the eyes of the public. The study also discloses that a translator's ideology greatly impacts the translation process. This research will contribute to the already existing knowledge on gender studies of Balti society in particular and translation studies in general. Furthermore, this research will help raise awareness among Balti society, particularly among men, to refrain from exploiting women. Additionally, it is anticipated that study readers will create a stance of abstaining from gender discrimination.

‘Learning to Be Human’: The Paradigm of Oakeshott’s Epistemology and Islamic Theory of Knowledge

Muhammad Iqbal Shah, Dr. Ali RazaTahir — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Michael Oakeshott’s epistemology revolves around the concept of Modes of the understanding of the meanings of the world. These meanings had been mediated by our forefathers and had been descended to us through generation to generations. The whole of these meanings is the common capital for all human beings irrespective of terrestrial affiliation or adherence to any theology or association to any race. Without learning the meanings, we are just a bipod specie or Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens but not ‘Beings Human’. Thus he founded his epistemology on concept of ‘learning to be human’ and he made a difference between a ‘human being’ and ‘being human’. Islamic teachings also support Oakeshott’s ideas regarding, Epistemology, Theory of Knowledge and educational Philosophy.

Islam is the complete code of life. It guides humankind in all areas of life especially the everyday life of a man. It has clearly mentioned the rights and duties of a man towards his parents, his wives, his children and other persons of the society. It guides and encourages a man to establish brotherhood and to coordinate with all especially with his family members. It has described the most and only effective way of family formation i.e. Nikah. At the time of Nikah and after Nikah, the rights and duties of both man and woman are described. It does not allow discrimination towards their children and parents. It makes a man bound to earn for himself as well as for his children, wives and parents. It does not allow a man to be cruel towards his wife and children. Even in case of Talaaq, it requires a man to be justified. In short, Islam guides a man in all areas of life.

مسلم عائلی زندگی :تہوار اور سماجی اثرات کا تجزیاتی جائزہ

Qaria Nasreen Akhtar — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The main focus of human instinct is one's own family, from which one finds physical, mental, moral, intellectual and spiritual peace. According to art experts, the first unit of family life is husband and wife and then their children also become a part of this system. The joint family system is also a form of family life in Pakistan. Man by nature prefers to live together instead of being isolated, so naturally he cannot be confined to his family, but by marriage and kinship he connects with many other families, when many families of different regions and languages. Inevitably, along with Islamic festivals, cultural and national festivals such as Eid, Shab-e-Barat, Mangani, Mahindi, Rakshati, Aqeeqah and many other festivals of happiness and sorrow become part of the society which has positive and negative effects. Individually and collectively affect the personality of every human being, especially the competition in appearance and display to maintain family dignity not only increases the financial burden on family heads / parents but also causes diseases like jealousy and resentment due to these festivals which in the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah, the remedy is inevitable.

احیاالعلوم کی کتاب التفکر : ایک مطالعہ

Tahira Munawar, Muhammad Naimatullah, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Shahbaz Manj — Sat, 09 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Abū Hāmid al-Ghazālī was a Muslim scholar, law specialist, rationalist, and spiritualist of Persian descent. He was a prominent mujtahid in the Shafi'i school of law. He believed that the Islamic spiritual tradition had become moribund and that the spiritual sciences taught by the first generation of Muslims had been forgotten. This belief led him to write book entitled Iḥyā’‘ulūm ad-dīn (The Revival of the Religious Sciences ). This work covers almost all fields of Islamic sciences including Fiqh, Sufism etc. It contains four major sections like Acts of worship (al-Ibādāt), Norms of Daily Life (al-Ādāt), The ways to Perdition (al-Muhlikāt) and the ways to salvation (al-Munjiyāt). The Iḥhyā became the most frequently recited Islamic text after the Quran and the hadith. Its great achievement was to bring orthodox Sunni theology and Sufi mysticism together in a useful, comprehensive guide to every aspect of Muslim life and death. The book was well received by Islamic scholars. Section 1 deals with knowledge and the requirements of Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting, Pilgrimage, Recitation of Quran and so forth. Part 2 concentrates on people and Society, the manners related to eating, marriage, earning, living and friendship. Part 3 and 4 are dedicated to the inner life of the soul and discuss first the voice is that people must overcome in themselves and then the virtues that they must drive to achieve. This article analyzes of Kitāb al-Taffakkur (part 4 of Ihya al-Uloom). It presents that creations and wonders of Allah in a delightful and unique way and inspires us to think about them. It argues that the whole universe is like a house. When we go to a rich man's house and see the doors and walls, colors of his house, we put our finger in our mouth, and appreciate it, similarly we keep our eyes on Allah's earth and sky, animals and minerals and their fine impressions, but we neither talk about them nor pay attention to them. This is because we forget our Lord and are attracted to our self. We only fill our bellies; we do not see anything other than our lust and honor. If we read all these things and are oblivious to seeing the creations of Allah and their wonders, then we do not have any importance for the Kingdom of Allah and His beauty. It is only by considering Allah's actions and attributes that one gets the knowledge of Allah's glory and gets guidance.

علامہ اقبال کا تصوراتحاد امت: ایک مطالعہ

Ishrat Fatima, Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Abrar Awan, Dr. Sabeeha Abdul Qadoos — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In the realm of Islamic government, Ummah is the indivisible unity of nations, which is established by the Shiraz Bandi religion. Ummah is a special Islamic concept which is a manifestation of the ideological and social aspects of Islam. The philosophy of the emergence of the Muslim Ummah in the world depends on a natural process. The Ummah organizes all human beings in the form of a great community by eliminating the distinctions of nations, races and classes. Even in the world, it is like a single body. Islam remembers them with different names. Ummat Wahidah, Ummat Muslimah, Ummat Astya, Khairmat and Millat Ibrahimi etc. In these names, the name of Ummat Muslimah indicates the overall sufficiency of the Islamic society. Poet of the East, Hakim of the Nation, Dr. Allama Iqbal, when his personality, thought and artistic maturity reached its peak, his vision or poem became the center of the nation. Iqbal stopped thinking as an individual. He used to look at things from the eyes of the Ummah and think about every problem collectively. He weighed the benefits and losses in the scales of the Ummah and measured the good and evil with the scales of the Ummah. There came a time in Allama Iqbal's life that his mind was the spokesperson of the Ummah, his pen was the Ummah. Allama Iqbal wanted the unity of the Ummah, he wanted to see the Muslims as one nation, one Ummah and nation. It was his wish that people should adopt the Ummah code of conduct and spread it over the world. He wished that the Ummah should be red-faced in everything. So that success and rule would become their destiny.

سید ریجھ علی شاھ کی شاعری میں قرآنی آیات کے استعمال کا تجزیہ

Aftab Khatoon, Sayed Munawar Ali Shah, Masooma Danish — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Syed Reejh Ali Shah stands out as one of Sindh's distinguished poets, embodying all the quintessential elements of poetic artistry within his works. His verses are not only profound but also meticulously crafted, often interwoven with Quranic excerpts. Shah's poetry conveys messages of peace, interlacing Prophetic teachings and Islamic narratives akin to precious pearls. Encountering Syed Reejh Ali Shah's compositions evokes a sensation akin to delving into the interpretations of the Holy Quran or its translations, fostering a profound sense of tranquility. Particularly, the younger generation is encouraged to explore his poetry to illuminate their paths. This article delves into an analysis of the Quranic verses elegantly embedded within Syed's poetic tapestry. Each verse is seamlessly integrated with its Arabic rendition, accompanied by translations in Urdu or Arabic, showcasing Shah's adeptness in Arabic, Urdu, and Sindhi languages.

Syed Reejh Ali Shah's persona and poetic legacy draw parallels with Shah Abdul Latif's essence and literary oeuvre/work, as both luminaries ardently strive to impart a unified message. Their writings intricately weave themes of monotheism, prophet hood, the poignant narrative of Karbala, and Quranic allusions. While Shah's poetry boasts multifaceted dimensions warranting discourse, this article meticulously scrutinizes the Quranic verses meticulously enshrined within his verses, focusing solely on those instances where Quranic references are intertwined."

اقوالِ فقہاء میں ترجیح کے اصول:فقہ حنفی کے تناظر میں ایک مطالعہ

Muhammad Sher Zaman, Hafiz Muhammad Awan — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

While giving a fatwa in jurisprudence, Mufti Muqlid will give a fatwa on the religion of the Ashab e Tarjeeh. Ashab e Tarjeeh are silent on an issue, He will give preference to one opinion over another opinion in the fatwa through priority of adherence. There are different forms of preference of adherence. Some of them are: When there are two sayings or two hadiths narrated from Imam Abu Hanifa in any issue, then the one which is later will be taken or the one whose adoption is proved by Imam Abu Hanifa himself, and if there is a saying from Imam Abu Hanifa. If the preference is not proven, then the one that was adopted by Imam Abu Yusuf will be followed. Then the saying or tradition that was adopted by Imam Muhammad will be followed. Zofar and Imam Hassan bin Ziyad have given authority. If there is a difference between the preference of Imam Abu Hanifah and the Sahbain, then we will see if the mufti is qualified for ijtihad, then he will be given authority, and if he is not among the people of ijtihad, then Imam He will accept the opinion of Abu hnifah. From the words of Allama Ibn Najeem, it is known that when one of the Sahibs agrees with Imam Abu Hanifa, then the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifa will be valid. If there are different views, then Mufti Mujtahid has the authority and Mufti who is not Mujtahid must follow the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifa. Yes, if the basis of disagreement is Sabba-e-Sita, then the words of the Sahibin will be followed. Admitting Sabba-e-Sita is mandatory for a mufti.

Poetic art in Urdu seems to be stunned in Balochistan as the multilingual environment of the province is completely overflowing with the poetic creation of the native languages. Amid such circumstances, Atta Shad proved to be the shining star in Urdu poetry as he introduced new trends in it. His mastery in the field of lexical choice is pretty enough to prove himself as a real morphologist. He lines are the reflection of nature, its beauty and Ata Shad’s close association with natural object which can best be observed in Balochistan. A point worth mentioning about Ata Shad’s poetic qualities is that his workṢ is a window through which one can peep into Balochistan. The present study presents a true picture of Atta Shad’s personality and his poetic works while at a time exploring the effects of poetic power on his personality. The study is likely to pave way for future researchers to explore Ata Shad as a person and a poet in the same shell.

Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd was an Egyptian author. He is known for his mission of Quran’s hermeneutic, which challenged mainstream views. His views about Quran and revelation are new. He believes that Quran is the outcome of prophet’s (PBUH) discourse with the contemporary people. He says Quran is the collection of narrations interpreted by its narrator. Abu Zayd further states that Quran consists of contradictory orders and sharia laws and to solve them we need to describe Quran as the collection of dialogues. On the basis of such views, Quran no more consists everlasting teaching for all human beings. His serious objections on Quran need to express one by one. In this research paper, we will criticize Abu Zayd’s views after dealing with his theories along with arguments.

الاتجاه الاجتماعي في التفسير "الهام الرحمن" للشيخ عبيد الله السندي: سورة الرعد أنموذجا

Gul Wahid, Dr. Taj Afsar — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

“Ilham al-Rahman” is an exegesis of Holy Quran that was dictated by Sheikh Ubaidullah al-Sindhi to his disciple Maulana Musa Jarullah, who was a Russian scholar. This exegesis is in Arabic language and it attempts at reading the scripture in social context. In exegesis the Holy Quran has been read in the light of social rules, that is why this exegesis covers all the major aspects of social life including politics, sociology and economics. Because of this relevance, many different revolutions have been mentioned at different places in this Tafseer. It has one basic quality that makes this work trustworthy knowledge, that being it's citing qur’anic verses and applying them in accordance to the historic period that this exegesis was attempted in. Furthermore, instead of reloading qur’anic words especially with mishaps and events, the citations have been kept general.

The reason or logic of this is that the Holy Quran is an eternal source of guidance for every human being till the day of judgement. And the aim of revealing the Holy Quran is to rectify the wrong and misleading traditions trends that are found in every age.

Moreover, this Tafseer has been written in the light of the rules of the first Islamic thinker of the subcontinent Imam Shah Waliullah. In it the five trustworthy knowledge sources or episteme are used and the usage of commonly understood words is regarded as a basic rule of knowing.
