ABSTRACT
The current study is an anthropological investigation into the two ideal systems (Weberian concept); that is the Islamic Sharia’h and Pakhtunwali (Pakhtun code of life). The study is based on the first hand field oriented ethnographic information (about the ideal type system i.e. Pakhtunwali) obtained during a PhD study in 2009-10 using anthropological techniques including household survey, case studies, in-depth interviews and participant observation. In addition, the empirical data has been supported with the authentic secondary information in shape of books, journals, articles and newspapers etc. Similarly, the ideal type system of Islam has been comparatively analyzed with the culturally approved pattern of Pakhtuns in light of Islamic literature including the Holy Qur’an, the Hadeeth, Islamic literature, books, articles etc written by both religious scholars and anthropologists. The data has been collected during survey of 4425 households from 775 respondents on different issues related to women’s empowerment in Pakhtun society. However, the data related to women’s Islamic rights have been taken under consideration for analysis of the current study.A pure qualitative research approach and ethnographic design of writing is adopted to link the two ideal systems. The study concludes that there is a huge gap in the practice of Islamic Sharia’h and Pakhtun code of life among Pakhtuns where lives of the people are governed under traditional system of Pakhtunwali (including Pakhtun code and Riwaj) while Islam as an ideal type religion has been placed in the ideal form.

ABSTRACT
The first ever form of society began upon start of life from Hazrat Adam (AS) on earth. At the ancient ages men started living near water resources like rivers. Creation of human beings is the “Climax” of creator of this large universe. The society revolves around human being and depends upon their cooperation. In legal terms the society is all about the duties and obligations of its members. To flourish and prosper the healthier society respect and adhering of rights & obligations are very necessary. Another phenomena of any civilized society is a fair justice system. Obedience is the key factor as Allah orders human being and all his creations to obey their creator for peace and harmony.
Indeed Allah is the supreme power to govern all the systems of universe, however He empowered human beings on His behalf. To govern any society a set of rules & regulations are mandatory under an implementing authority weather it is divine or selected.

ABSTRACT
No society allows an individual to dishonor a fellow human being, thus it is important in itself to think rightly about the "concept of honor" that what actually HONOR is. ‘Islam' has prearranged the particular guiding principles and valuable strategies about this genuine and earnest matter that ought to concern every individual prudently. The research focuses on the correct understanding of Islamic teachings in the process of preserving/protecting human personal honor and dignity. Islam teaches us that if people are being dishonored we should defend their honor. Human honor and dignity is reexamined in this research from two major perspectives. Human honor and dignity in media and in societal relations. Both aspects are elaborated extensively and the conclusions are drawn to show that honor and dignity is for all humans whether big or small, good or bad, rich or poor, literate or illiterate, our dear ones or strangers. Islam does not permit one’s honor to be abused. Everyone is equally honorable and above from all other creations on earth.

Every person and nation has a great desire to become prominent and conspicuous, but the Jews thought that they are more 'elite nation' than the anyone in the world. This concept of superiority complex creats great arrogance and hauteur among them. Theodor Herzl (D.1904) was the founder of Zionist Movement in A.D.1897. In the beginning, it was only a religious movement, but gradually converted into political movement. Then Herzl encouraged the Jews to return and settle in Palestine. At last the Zionist had been achieved their aim to establish an Israel State in 1948. Nowadays, they want to extend the boundries of Israel. For this purpose, the Jews reconfigure their homeland through divided the large Arab states into smaller and weaker states. That is why, the recently 'Zionist Mission' expansion anxiety and anarchy among the Muslims. So the recently wave of violence in Syria is also part of that mission.
