ABSTRACT
Ideology of Pakistan is based on two nation theory that means, to save the distinct religious, political, economic, cultural and social identity of the Muslims of subcontinent .So we can say that the basis of ideology of Pakistan was Islam. The Indian Muslims were very well awared of their aim. They wanted a separate state where they can apply the rule of sovereignty of Allah and teachings of Quran and Sunnah. The most raised slogan was “what mean of Pakistan? لا الہ الا اللہ”۔ . But after the creation of Pakistan some secular groups argued that this slogan was created by some “mullahs” for their benefits after the creation of Pakistan and it was not raised ever before. These secular groups want to create confusion and dubiousness in minds of Pakistani people especially in new generation about two nation theory, Muslim nationalism, Islamic identity and ideological approach of Pakistan. For this purpose they are using some print and electronic media groups and destroying the Pakistan’s Islamic ideological basis as well as Pakistan movement’s history.
This article can help to know what the aim of secular groups is and why media is creating ambiguity in the minds of new generation. It would be proved that, before partition the level of ideological approach of Muslims was higher than now. The methodology of research would be descriptive and analytical. Along with interviews and survey, basic books are consulted regarding the ideology of Pakistan and Pakistani movement written before and after the creation of Pakistan.

Imam Abu Hanifa is one of the blessed personalities among muslim ulamas and scholars. He was foremost and the only Tabiee among four greatest scholars of Islam. He had written many great books in his time but unfortunately, most of them are unavailable in present age except fews. The major reason for this unavailability was that his pupils paid whole attention towards spreading his knowledge and wisdom around the world which caused a little negligence towards his publications. However some of his books reachedour hands safe and secure.
This article comprises on a very rare booklet of Imam Abu Hanifa known as “ Al-Qaseedat-un-Nomania” or “ Al-Qaseedat-ul-Kafiyah” or “ Qaseedatu Madh-e-Rasool”. This booklet, actually, is a compilation of verses written or read by Imam Abu Hanifa.

ABSTRACT
Extremism has been defined as a quality of human beings contrary to patience, tolerance and moderation which are the qualities universally recognized as hall mark of a decent and reasonable person: Islamic teachings are so clear and manifest in this regard, that its very little literally means, peace.
According to Quran, Islam is a faith of moderation and Muslims are demanded to be patient and to exercise self control in the state of anger.
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) demonstrated extra ordinary compassion, understanding & forgiveness in dealing with all human beings including his arch-enemies, and persecutors.
The paper describes in detail the teachings of Quran and the Prophet (P.B.U.H) in relation to intolerance and extremism and conclusively argues that the moderation is the hall-mark of the teachings of Prophet (P.B.U.H).

ABSTRACT
The rapid and vast advancements in the knowledge base of science, technology and weaponry has brought major modifications in modern warfare. Despite immaculate ancient military expertise and war strategy; the advancements in technology have left the old warfare techniques behind and has rendered them obsolete and irrelevant. The weapon systems employed in wars fought by our forefathers are limited as museums artifacts as advanced munitions has outmoded these weapons fast. Consequently, it is widely believed that ancient rules of military engagement cannot be employed nowadays.
However, the aforesaid believe can be proved wrong upon detailed perusal of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s defense rules and guidelines for waging war. Along with the commandment of undertaking Jihad, Islam explicitly laid down dos and don’ts of the battlefield and explained detailed defensive strategies. These teachings have an ingrained flexibility and room for amendment for the modern day. Therefore, to this very day, Muslim forces can employ these principles in the modern battleground and experience great feats like their predecessors.

ABSTRACT
Today, more than two decades down the road, the key areas of UN program for women empowerment are needed to be evaluated in the light of indigenous realities of Muslim societies. This study examined the salient features of the said program vis a vis the general condition of status of women in a Muslim society like Pakistan, especially in its local socio-economic context. This paper argues that there is a fundamental difference in the theoretical and ideological framework between the UN program and the facts in Muslim societies for identification of the problems and suggested solutions related to the status of women. It looked into whether the program is able to deliver goods in Muslim societies the way it has in the western societies or not. The objective of the study was to analyze the program with respect to its relevance with general belief system and practices in Muslim societies. Secondly itdemassified the monolithic notion of global issues regarding the status of women to see which parts are relevant in the local context in Pakistan.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to highlight and present the role of two charismatic religious and spiritual leaders, Buddha and Muhammad (PBUH). Both emerged as a liberator and reformers of their ages. At the time of Buddha, people were squeezed, enslaved and cruelly treated by the upper class Brahmans. Poor were strictly reduced to be the dependent on the mercy of that class and its so-called tenets. In such conditions, Buddha and his teachings gave a new dimension to the suppressed people for living a dignified life. Thus, he was considered, at that time, as the liberator for humanity from man-mad tenets and injustice. Muhammad (PBUH) too, liberated people from the cruelty and oppression of the upper class of the Meccan society. He conveyed the message of God to the people, with warnings and glad tidings, for the construction of a just society that should be based on the equality as per instruction of God’s revelation. He continued his mission of bringing justice and equality, and always supported the poor and weaker section of the society. So, due to such efforts he is also called the liberator and reformer for the humanity. Both, Buddha and Muhammad had same motivation to liberate people from oppression, subjugation and injustice from the oppressors of their ages.

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.
